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

Don't Fear the Reaper
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

I kept thinking jailbreak when thin lizzy came up
i wrote in jailbreak, but can't argue w/the boys
― mookieproof, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:34 (nine years ago) link
i hear jailbreak on CRR just as much as boys, if not more

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.

Wrote in jailbreak as my #4, a vote I was more than happy to waste

Great poll, sad my number one didn't cut it.
Looking forward to seeing the Top 500.
― voodoo chili, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link
I have to say, it took a lot of man hours, but it all went down pretty smoothly. Glad you guys let me take the last few months to be ready to execute this as well as I could. Huge props again to gr80 for adding so much color and flash to the rollout.

I wouldn't have minded "Lonely is the Night" placing though. It has the best Led Zeppelin riff not actually in a Led Zeppelin song.

A+ work all around! First round of pitchers on me. I only wish there was a daily calendar of these songs-n-images so I could always start the day off right.
