CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL: THE RESULTS

corny and awesome

What a fool believes should have been higher tbqf

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

man, i still think those cats are great

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.

2. Olivia Newton-John - Heart Attack

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

my fave thin lizzy deep cut, in case anyone cares: http://youtu.be/lAegMD4Ip3M

I kept thinking jailbreak when thin lizzy came up

i wrote in jailbreak, but can't argue w/the boys

i hear jailbreak on CRR just as much as boys, if not more

so we DON'T like heavy metal thunder, as it turns out???

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

Happy it's #2, sad it's not #1.

#2 is exactly where I voted it! I could listen to that opening riff all day.

And your #1. This one's for Sandy:

1. Blue Oyster Cult – Don’t Fear The Reaper
3107 points, 41 votes, 2 first place votes

Yay I finally number oned an ilm number one

totally respectable but I'll say it: Stranglehold was straight up robbed

OMG if The Stroke even makes the top 500 I might have to leave the internet rather than continue to be associated with it

CLASSIC ROCK POLL -- the ballots thread

Superb organisation peeps this has been awesome

Great poll, sad my number one didn't cut it.

Looking forward to seeing the Top 500.

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.

No Cheap Sunglasses either, I hope all the Boys of Summer can still see

totally respectable but I'll say it: Stranglehold was straight up robbed

Yeah, that's one shocking omission, for sure.

Great work, poll dudes!

Way to go s.d. and gr80. You guys = rock

Maybe the Nuge's decades of pure assholism induced voter fatigue.

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.

Great poll except for everyone forgot to vote for more Allman Brothers.
