xp Feel like Crazy on You might not place. I have what I feel is a pretty good guess on what's in the top 6, and it'd be shocked if Crazy on You were in there.

Fun fact: there is a song called "Teenage Wasteland" that Townshend demoed but the Who never recorded:
"Hey you! Don't step on my turnips/ Oh lord, when will they ever learn it?" didn't have quite the same lyrical punch.

The cover artwork shows a photograph, taken at Easington Colliery, of the band apparently having just urinated on a large concrete piling protruding from a slag heap. According to photographer Ethan Russell, most of the members were unable to urinate, so rainwater was tipped from an empty film canister to achieve the desired effect. The partially cloudy sky seen above the site was also composited from a separate image. The photograph is often seen to be a reference to the monolith discovered on the moon in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, which had been released only about three years earlier.[10] Pete Townshend stated it was an ironical answer to Stanley Kubrick turning down the direction of Tommy.[11] In 2003, the United States cable television channel VH1 named Who's Next's cover one of the greatest album covers of all time.[12]

I like to imagine that the cover of "Ace of Spades" was taken at the same location

song i'm happiest to see in the top 20: "night moves." sad that "still the same" missed the poll, but i get that. "night moves" is a cr epic done right: platonically ideal composition and a lyric that rings completely true.

My prime classic rock radio years were in the early-2000s and at the time you'd get so much Who Are You.

"Who Are You" is still The Who's top song airplay-wise but I don't think I've even heard another track from that album on the radio
― some dude, Friday, 1 August 2014 17:20 (ten years ago) link
"Radar Love" is amazing. Yet another karaoke song that has destroyed my voice (so worth it). I was pleasantly surprised a little while back to discover that Golden Earring had been around since the '60s and that their earlier stuff isn't half bad.― Dr. Yah Mo B.

I voted "Baba O'Riley" #1 in AG's 70s rock poll, #4 in this.

Crazy On You at #6 just where I placed it!

When I was a little kid, my kid sister made friends with two girls from the neighborhood. They were always running around, shrieking, laughing, drooling, babbling...they were just these utter savages. Anyway, around the same time when I first heard Ann's howls on the chorus of this song, they were those kids were the first people I thought of. The were going crazy on me!
I love this song. My number 3.

so Heart have 3 of the top 20....holy shit!...a realistic representation of the CR ethos I guess but man, does that guitar work on "Magic Man" drag."Crazy" pretty flawless, though.

it probably boosted its iTunes sales but it's popularity on radio seems eternal and unaffected

Yeah, "Crazy on You" is constructed and performed really well imo.

for such a zepcentric band, heart were surprisingly low on guitar heroics...seems like they emulated Jimmy Page's orchestrations more than anything

"Crazy On You" is one of those songs that I don't think I love when I see the title and think of the chorus, but when it's on and I hear all the other parts of it I'm like yeah, this song has tons of great stuff.

"Who Are You" is something I loved as a teenager ("They swore!") and can't switch off fast enough now.

There's a scene in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle where Kumar fantasizes about living his life married to a large bag of weed, soundtracked by "Crazy On You." So obviously, that's all I can think about when I hear it.

It does, to the point that stations now edit out that whole line.
