It very well could be The Waiting, but a top 100 with no Foreigner and no Bad Company is just weird.

This one is for Ben. You sent me a quick top 20 ballot at the last minute and guess what? It made a difference, your top song would've been #4 without your vote.
Also, a special dedication to our boy gr80, who did an amazing job with the images. This was his favorite song that made the top 20.
And finally, a shout out to the crew at Jaker's, who always take good care of The Aorta whenever we broadcast from there. There was this chick that used to dance a lot, but I forget her name at the moment.

that melancholy descending outro riff could've been the foundation of a great song, instead of just this tossed-off tangent in a 5 star classic

So top 2 is Barracuda and ...?

So glad we were able to squeeze in "Boys of Summer" and fucking "What a Fool Believes" you guys.

Is it possible "Smoke on the Water" didn't chart? Seems likely at this point.

xxp true, Cowboy Song, Whiskey in a Jar, Running Back and Jailbreak would fit right in on any 70s rock block.

prefer 'jailbreak' but 'boys are back in town' is one of the few songs in the top 20 that really belongs there
― een, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:33 (nine years ago) link
Oh, right. Well, a top 10 that is 40 percent Heart and BOC is ok with me.

I think I might've said this on the nominations thread, but when I was a kid Phil's voice on the verses always reminded me of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I still love to picture Arnold partying down at Dino's

Well, we think you've got an idea of what the top 2 is going to be. But let's get it all out there. I was rooting all along for it to take #1, but in the end the gap in points was far too big to overcome. This one's for emil.y.
