i devoted my CCR votes to the chooglier side if their noms, but this song rips, all time classic. a hippie song that actually gets it right.

Way prefer 'Bad Moon Rising' but I guess 'Fortunate Son' is vastly beefier, and hence rockier and classicker.
― emil.y, Friday, 1 August 2014 15:19 (nine years ago) link
it's also vastly more OTM

fun fact: the 2 shortest songs in the top 100 are both by CCR.

Speaking of music in movies, Virgin Suicides does right by "Magic Man."

"Barracuda" is for sure in the top ten, right?
― Dr. Yah Mo B. There, DDS (Old Lunch), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:31 (nine years ago) link
Sure
― Jeff, Friday, 1 August 2014 15:31 (nine years ago) link
In a perfect world both Crazy on You AND Barracuda place in the top 10.

Three people that I know of had it in their top 4. I'm sure many others had it top 10.

The Dreamboat Annie singles are so great.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:32 (nine years ago) link
Other locks: "Reaper", "More than a Feeling"? I didn't really realize that I was so in sync with ILM on these.
No more prog, probably?
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:33 (nine years ago) link
Virgin Suicides was ok but I'd rather just imagine my own magic man with magic hands instead of imagining that kid.
Speaking of suicide, bring on the reaper!
― cross over the mushroom circle (La Lechera), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:33 (nine years ago) link

xp - (i mean that in the context of this poll, not irl!! i continue to fear the reaper in spite of the reassurances)

Did the Move get much CR radio play? "Feel Too Good" is an alternate universe CRR top ten no-brainer.
― Dr. Yah Mo B. There, DDS (Old Lunch), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:38 (nine years ago) link
true confessions: always kinda bored by barracuda but then I like a lot of zep more than "immigrant song" so
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:38 (nine years ago) link
"barracuda" more of an "Achilles last stand"

No.

I had a rock block of songs with the word "Heartbreaker" in my top 10, and now thinking none of the 3 will make it. Booo.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:43 (nine years ago) link
Pat Benetar's Heartbreaker was totally on my list. That song rocks like hell.
― love is how's life tonight (how's life), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:44 (nine years ago) link
Benatar
I would have preferred "Crazy on You" over "Magic Man" -- I think the latter has one too many instrumental/solo sections shoehorned into it, and the former is fuckin' TITE. Better vocal, better arrangement, better in every way.
― rockist popist papist (WilliamC), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:44 (nine years ago) link
Not crazy about Barracuda either. Voted for Magic Man, Crazy On You would have been my second Heart vote.
― PEOPLE LIVING IN COMPETITION (Sandy), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:46 (nine years ago) link
that whole first side of "Dreamboat Annie" is like one long CR single to me
― Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee), Friday, 1 August 2014 15:46 (nine years ago) link
Zero. But I had Do Ya in my top ten, that's one of the alltime great songs.
― kornrulez6969, Friday, 1 August 2014 15:46 (nine years ago) link
We kick off our top ten with the only mention that Kiss will get in the list. This one goes out to Gavin and President Keyes...what? I'm being told Paul Stanley is on the phone and he is not happy. I'll be right back, folks.

Here's my turn at "Never really heard this on the radio." Love the song, though.

― sleeve, Friday, 1 August 2014 15:52 (nine years ago) link
Yes! 'Magic Man' & 'Surrender' my 4 & 5. I cast my Benatar vote with 'Shadows of the Night', which now seems like a waste, but it's my favorite song of hers.
