"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

Kids these days man, they don’t even listen to blue oyster cult anymore

calstars, Saturday, 15 June 2019 14:02 (four years ago) link

except they probably do. Kids are way more openminded these days than we were

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 15 June 2019 14:54 (four years ago) link

screaming at "bring me to life" being on here. that's my vote in any case

Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Saturday, 15 June 2019 17:37 (four years ago) link

George Thorogood or Nickelback

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

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 15 June 2019 20:35 (four years ago) link

I think my real answer is one of these:

51. (Don’t Fear) The Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
55. I Want You To Want Me – Cheap Trick
64. Stranglehold – Ted Nugent
81. Somebody To Love – Jefferson Airplane
87. Hold The Line – Toto
90. Free Ride – The Edgar Winter Group
94. I’m Waiting For The Man – The Velvet Underground & Nico
96. 20th Century Boy – T. Rex
100. Won’t Get Fooled Again – The Who

oh i didn't even see House of the Rising Sun on there, that might be my actual vote

Vape Store (crüt), Saturday, 15 June 2019 21:16 (four years ago) link

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

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Monday, 17 June 2019 12:50 (four years ago) link

Carry on then

calstars, Monday, 17 June 2019 12:59 (four years ago) link

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?

calstars, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 13:57 (four years ago) link

a common reaction. It really is one of the worst songs ever

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:19 (four years ago) link

Well, that's one thing we've got.

☮ (peace, man), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:20 (four years ago) link

Some bizarre tracks on this list, Cheap Trick ftw.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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".

Tom Sawyer vs Roundabout


Same here. So hard to choose.

beard papa, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 01:40 (four years ago) link

Actually, no. Tom Sawyer. Easily.
