Only thing I hated worse than that acoustic version of Layla was that acoustic version of Hotel California.

harkens back to the halcyon days of my tweens when all the boys wore tennis headbands because they wanted to be like Mark Knopfler

And yeah "romeo" and "tunnel" are a whole other thing, but not the kind of thing you hear on the radio very often.
Yup, that's why "Sultans" was my only Dire Straits vote in this. Making Movies is indisputably a classic rock album, but not so much a Classic Rock album.

I'm really late to the game on pretty much all classic rock tho tbf tbh

Voodoo Child intro is basically my favorite thing in all of music. my #2
Mine too
― voodoo chili, Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:45 (ten years ago) link
it's a #2 all right

no it's good

or hollywood hogan, I should say
It's my number 8, but one of my favorite moments in music.

nice

ALL RIGHT!
― voodoo chili, Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:49 (ten years ago) link
TOO LOW!
One of my personal regrets is not putting American Girl higher.
― Jeff, Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:49 (ten years ago) link
don't think she's following along w/ us but that photo is roxy's doppelganger imo

word but like REALLY late, I'm 33 and didn't even really sniff the genre until late in college.
― Strictly EZ Snappin' Nhex (Spottie), Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:50 (ten years ago) link
I was listening to "Voodoo Child" yesterday and just marveling at the controlled chaos of the guitars on that song. Astounding every time.
"American Girl" shoulda been higher but I'm happy it's top 30.

"did you hear the one about 'american girl'?"
"no"
"everyone heard this song, but only one band went and made a whole career off it"
"who?"
"the strokes"
― °ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:51 (ten years ago) link
I thought Voodoo Child would be top 10 tbf
― Strictly EZ Snappin' Nhex (Spottie), Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:51 (ten years ago) link
With regards to a lot of these songs, I'm having a hard time remembering if I liked them because I heard them on classic rock radio back in the day, or I like them because Girl Talk sampled them.
― Jeff, Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:53 (ten years ago) link
awkward
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:56 (ten years ago) link
OTM. I should have probably voted it higher.
Tom Petty kind of bringing things down for me. Otherwise, today's stretch has mostly been gold.

I hate the mix on the Electric Ladyland Voodoo Child. It pans left and right way too frequently.
― David Schramm (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 31 July 2014 16:58 (ten years ago) link
"American Girl" showing up on the poll such a great palate cleanser after all those Knopfler images.
