"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is the number one song for me to assassinate. Thank god my local classic rock station doesn't monkey around with that shit.
"Reaper" for me. Eternally creepy.

It's definitely one of the worst songs ever

The idea of canonizing "Teenage Dirtbag" as classic rock feels pretty quintessentially UK to me.
― billstevejim, Saturday, 15 June 2019 18:20 (four years ago) link
its hardly canonizing its just selling CDs to people in their 20s/30s who will rememember some of the songs

51. (Don’t Fear) The Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult55. I Want You To Want Me – Cheap Trick64. Stranglehold – Ted Nugent81. Somebody To Love – Jefferson Airplane87. Hold The Line – Toto90.

oh i didn't even see House of the Rising Sun on there, that might be my actual vote
Where I was in 90s, the song that probably got the most airplay on CRR out of these was fscking “carry on my wayward son” which is so bad
― calstars, Saturday, 15 June 2019 21:29 (four years ago) link
I like that song

I only learned recently that Teenage Dirtbag is somehow about the singer being bullied by metalhead killer Ricky "Acid King" Kasso as a kid, and then I guess subsequently getting targeted by authority figures because he liked AC/DC and Iron Maiden just like Ricky. It's a pretty cool fact, but upon re-listening it still doesn't make me like the song.

What's the most recent music that gets played on classic rock stations these days? "Seven Nation Army" maybe?

Lots of songs I like on this list. Hard to choose between "Reaper", "Cum on Feel the Noize", "Waiting for the Man", "God Gave Rock n Roll to You" and "Don't Bring Me Down".
