CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL: THE RESULTS

my ballot had zero stones but CYHMK is poss my favorite of theirs

CYHMK has become a go-to Stones deep cut in the last 10-15 years.

totally. it ain't on every station, but the stations that wanna go deeper than "Brown Sugar" are all over it.

There isn't a single song on "Exile on Main St." that I remember.

Tumbling Dice is all-time imo, but I've never heard it on CRR much.

oh I sure have. "Happy" too. No deep cuts, although when the Stones released Stripped the live "Shine a Light" made a brief appearance.

CYHMK is maybe my favorite stones song, such an incredible track

Don't want to let this get by without pointing out Rhiannon is one of Buckingham's finest riffs. I've still never figured out how to play it smoothly.

rhiannon is beautiful, also kinda valium-y in a good way

Holy shit, I didn't know this song was called "Long Train Running"! I totally thought it was "Without Love"! I am a false classic rock fan!

Easy mistake, since the chorus is "without looooooove" and not "long train runnin'".

Yep. Like the chorus of "What a Fool Believes" is "meharderhardefarfar"

No you are a perfect classic rock fan- think back to the last time any CR DJ actually said the name of the song-- they'd just say "blah blah blah before that you heard THE DOOBIES and now let's get caller 7 on the line for the pair of tickets to see THE DOOBIES at Cache Creek Casino this Thursday..."

For the record it wasn't until your post that I knew what song that was. Great song!

I wrote-in for Without Love, it could still place

11 songs of mine so far, extra excited about Stay With Me.
And OMG Veg, Solsbury Hill makes me get all teary too, all the grabbing his things 'cause they've come to take him home.

Also Stevie Nicks, ugh.

11 here as well.

wait I thought I was the lone Fleetwood Mac hater here

xp

Lol, Ismael. And, yes, great song!

no you are

xpost

I don't hate Fleetwood Mac, just Stevie Nicks.

I like Stevie Nicks, and I sometimes enjoy talking with other people who like Stevie Nicks, but those weird fans who LIVE FOR Stevie Nicks and draw/paint terrible fan art and dress witchy and ...you know who I'm talking about here. They probably got really into Twilight too.

Stevie Nicks seemed like the biggest star in the world when I was a kid and now it's like "oh, she had a couple solo hits while FM were in a lull"

Obsessive Stevie Nicks fans >>>>>>> the guy described by D Berman

Let's not lose sight of reality

I can understand preferring the Peter Green or Bob Welsh FM, but I don't understand liking the Buckingham-Nicks era and disliking Stevie Nicks.

I have 14 so far, with my #1 and #8 knocked out. In looking over my list, I think I should add for the fellow southern ex-pats that I share your Sweet Home Alabama sentiments for the Marshall Tuckers of the world, and even for most of the Allman's as well.

But not for .38 Special.

I mean, before cocaine ruined her nose and dampened her songwriting Nicks was a spectacular rock singer and indispensable rock person. It's impossible to imagine going to watch FM in 1980 just for Buckingham and McVie's tunes.

person = singer
same thing

i like "rock person"!

obsessive nicks fans are the only people i like

the only rock people

spectacular rock singer and indispensable rock person

and ridiculously great songwriter, which is sometimes overlooked, probably not by you soto, but by the awful, uncaring world at large.

I've had nine place so far, including my #3...ooooh, can't wait for tomorrow!

It's impossible to imagine going to watch FM in 1980 just for Buckingham and McVie's tunes.

I would have! I like Stevie Nicks, and I love spellbinding mid-tempo pop plod-athons as much as anyone, but Buckingham's & McVie's songs are much more exciting to me.

four fm's and two stevie's in my top 100, and it would have been easy to add more of each.

i legit don't trust people who like mac "except nicks" they are shifty people who shouldn't be let outside the house

I hate her voice,sorry.

and probably dislike scarves and boots

Sandy, you hate her voice on "Dreams," "Gold Dust Woman," "Sara," and "Rhiannon"?

I've had 16 place so far. Surprised, really.

12 for me.

Also, upon consulting my ballot, I see I voted for "American Woman" before joining in to trash it in the most-hated results. I must have been drunk or very out of it the night I cast my vote.

i've had 19 place so far, including my #1 and #6. starting to worry about my #2, though, as nothing else by the same artist (who i also have at #9 and #86) has shown up yet.

3/40! starting to think I threw away a lot of votes on stuff that never stood a chance. oh well

spellbinding mid-tempo pop plod-athons

read this as "pod plop-athons"

5 so far for me, my preference for 80s rock is my undoing

Actually, I like scarves and boots and flowy skirts just fine, I shopped at Granny Takes a Trip in 1975,too.
I like her voice on Insider. I'll give her that. Otherwise, really, no. Granted, her voice is perfect for the songs she writes, but I don't like her songs!

I like her voice on Insider...
--PEOPLE LIVING IN COMPETITION (Sandy)

yeeeeesss

not to tip my hand or nothin' but when we hit pettypoll in 2016 "insider" will be very high on my ballot

good harmonies on that one

Also, upon consulting my ballot, I see I voted for "American Woman" before joining in to trash it in the most-hated results. I must have been drunk or very out of it the night I cast my vote.
--Johnny Fever

Eh, it's terrible but undeniably Classic Rock. Think I voted for it plus "no sugar tonight" and maybe "no time" too. (both of which are better, tbf)

I can understand preferring the Peter Green or Bob Welsh FM, but I don't understand liking the Buckingham-Nicks era and disliking Stevie Nicks.

So if forced to choose one of these Mac-associated hits from the late seventies which would it be:

John Stewart - Gold
Kenny Loggins - Whenever I Call You "Friend"
Bob Welsh - Sentimental Lady

Not trying to come across too creepy here, but your autocorrect could use some fixin'.
