Awesome that "Crazy On You" made it! I had given up hope.
I would not have been surprised to see Foghat at #1.

Always thought of this as second-tier. Biggest WTF for me so far.

Local station here leaves it in too.
The editing-out of "And all the colored chicks..." from "Walk on the Wild Side" over the past 40 years would make your head spin: in, out, in, out, in, etc.

Slow Ride totally deserves top 5 xp

6. Heart – Crazy On You
yes!!! the aorta comes through! there's so much i love about this song, from the dead-on rennfair guitar intro to the simple genius of the main riff to the heart-melting tonal change between pre-chorus and chorus. this is a song of many many parts, all woven together with pop grace. my #2.

Walk on the Wild SIde - They took out the giving head part here, but left the colored girls in there,
How many of these songs mention cum by name?

"Slow Ride" is the song most linked to Dazed & Confused for me

Same here. Used to confuse it for "Free Ride" too.

"Slow Ride" has an even more famous place in popular culture that Dazed & Confused, but I've already posted the relevant clips enough.
Oddly enough, a song I never really heard on the radio through the '70s.

for such a zepcentric band, heart were surprisingly low on guitar heroics...seems like they emulated Jimmy Page's orchestrations more than anything
― Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee)
But is Nancy Wilson a guitar-heroic guitar player? I don't play myself, so I'm no expert, I always figured she was a decent acoustic player but here's the thing...1980, a friend of mine did some work with Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson, so we went down to Wheeling, West Virginia to see them open for Heart. After the show, there's nothing much going on in the bar, the hotel bar band are just finishing up and some of the guys from Heart ask if they can get up and jam. Then they ask Mick Ronson to come up and play with them and Nancy throws a fit, seriously runs off to her room crying because why did they ask Mick instead of her? So a couple of people go to calm Nancy down and bring her back to the bar and everybody's like OH NANCY, we're sorry your feelings were hurt, please jam with us too. So they start playing something and maybe ten minutes pass and she throws ANOTHER fit and storms off again because "Mick's showing off."
I can't imagine it's easy to be the other guitar player in a band with Nancy Wilson.

"crazy on you" is more than the sum of its parts (and jeez is it stuffed with 'me) and got my highest Heart vote itp on the strength of its full-on cock rock swag.

I changed "wet t-shirt" to "two-for-one" at the last minute back there.

i'm late but i heard "surrender" on the radio last tuesday, because that's when 100.3 does twofer tuesdays and invariably play i want you to want me/surrender at least 5 times
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:00 (ten years ago) link
I don't remember hearing "Surrender" that much. "Dream Police", "I Want You -- To Want -- ME", even the goddamm "Flame" I heard more often on CR.
― pplains, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:02 (ten years ago) link
Note the large jump in points from #5 to this one. The top 4 separated themselves from the pack fairly early on in the voting and never let "Slow Ride" or anything else get close to catching up. This one is for Jeff and Doctor Casino.

DAMN IT THE WAITING ISN'T GOING TO MAKE THIS LIST
― PEOPLE LIVING IN COMPETITION (Sandy), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:05 (ten years ago) link
this is pretty cool re: "all the young dudes" (via wiki)
According to an interview Bowie gave to Rolling Stone magazine in 1973, the boys are carrying the same news that the newscaster was carrying in the song "Five Years" from Ziggy Stardust; the news being the fact that the Earth had only five years left to live. Bowie explains: "All the Young Dudes' is a song about this news. It's no hymn to the youth, as people thought. It is completely the opposite."

Also, thinking it might only be two Doobies tracks in the top 100, and one of them is yacht rock.
