CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL: THE RESULTS

the world could use more Chrissie Hynde stories

Skynyrd + The Cars - the songs (with some major exceptions) = .38 Special

Hyndesight is 20/20

hey Sandy, I wouldn't give up hope on both of those songs if I were you.

You give me reason to live again

To my mind, Hold On Loosely has the better solo, Caught Up In You the better vocal.
if these 2 things were combined in one song my mind would explode.

Pretty sure Chrissie is playing that as an A/F too.

multixp: One-Winged Dove! I've never known what those words were 'til now! I always thought it was 'one we love'.

Had it at #41. Kudos to the first place voter!

I mean I get the joke about the poll position. I just don't get why you'd do that to us.

I had this at #41 too, but I absolutely believe it should at least be in top 20. We have failed.

incredible song

Here's the first track we've seen from the hit-packed #4 LP on our albums' poll...

42. Boston – Peace of Mind
1123 points, 13 votes

Regret not voting for this more than any other song I didn't vote for.

TOOLOW

Yeah should have voted for Funk #49, I don't know what I was thinking.

although I've heard Funk #49 on the radio, I never knew the title, who the band was, or that Joe Walsh was involved

I had Peace of Mind at #12, but I should have gone higher. I was just having trouble ranking two songs by the same artist in each tier of 10, and I already had another Boston song in the top ten.

I need to start a separate Sandy's Stories of CLASSIC ROCK thread

THIS MUST HAPPEN.

'peace of mind' was my #2, the chorus just builds and builds better than anything i can think of

glad to see those two .38 special tracks place, utterly classic

fwiw if i voted i would likely have put funk #49 at #1

oh mannnnn things are picking up seriously. "Peace of Mind" is not my favorite Boston song by a long shot (it's kinda rambling, compositionally, and doesn't have the same perfect emotional formation as their bigger hits) but it still has pretty much everything you go to them for sonically, especially that combination of gentle acoustic strum undergirding chunky ultra-precise sandpaper guitar transmissions in the riff - - - and super clean, laser-show action for the solo. The former basically obviates the whole existence of Rush for me - why go there when I've got these guys - and appears most perfectly in the opening of "Don't Look Back." The latter, well, we'll get more of that in upcoming songs (I can only assume!). TAKE A LOOK AHEAD! TAKE A LOOK AHEAD! LOOK AHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

Actually I was thinking of Walk Away. It's Walk Away that I should've voted for, reminds me of Hot Burrito #2

no joke there's so much truth in 'POM'

Every song on that first Boston album is a classic-rock staple. Amazing.

peace of mind is great!!!

We have a little tradition here at The Aorta, I've heard that other stations have tried to copy us, but they never quite get it right. But you know what band you're about to hear when I say the words BRING THE ZEP OUT!

41. Led Zeppelin – Kashmir
1132 points, 16 votes

and a big raspberry to all of you saying you should have voted for funk 49

I FUCKING TOLD YOU

Rush >>> Boston

i like kashmir but i like immigrant song better. i dont know why i think of them together but i do

I must have heard Kashmir hundreds of times in my life but I don't think I know a single word, unless you count DA-DA-DUN-DUN-DA

Rush >>> Boston

gtfo with this nonsense

i'd refer you to dave q's "good prog/bad prog" rant but i don't want to jinx "stone in love" itp

Diddy ruined Kashmir for me.

that combination of gentle acoustic strum undergirding chunky ultra-precise sandpaper guitar transmissions in the riff
