Reverend Jax Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 After thinking a while I have come up with these 10 (11) songs. These are the songs that I feel, are most often considered the greatest song of classic rock. These are the ones that always come up near the top of lists that radio stations come up with, or whatever. This is a poll to vote for which of these would be most worthy of that title. In making this list, I considered, but had to leave out Imagine, Hotel California, Highway to Hell, My Generation, Born To Be Wild, Sunshine of Your Love, Layla, Good Vibrations, Walk This Way, Wild Thing, Brown-Eyed Girl, Heartbreak Hotel, Aqualung, Iron Man and Louie Louie. Feel free to post below which song you voted for, why you voted for it, and why I'm such a tool for picking the songs for this poll that I did. Let me demonstrate: I voted for Bohemian Rhapsody because that song is pure brilliance the kind of which never gets old, and JMT is a tool for not including Louie Louie on the poll, which I would have voted for if it had been available.

King of Snake Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 I must say I'm not a fan of older rock but I do like a lot of those songs. Voted for Bohemian Rhapsody, it's just my favorite of the choices, I might have been tempted by Hotel California but I think you've probably picked the right ten for the poll. By the way you didn't vote JMT, mine's the only one there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 31, 2002 Author Share Posted August 31, 2002 I know, I'm stilling thinking about it. My saying "I voted for Bohemian Rhapsody" was just an example. Bohemian Rhapsody is definitely a contender, but my mind isn't quite made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Probably would have gone for Brown-Eyed girl or Born to Run if they'd been there. I'll have a think.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Went for Satisfaction, mainly just for the line, "He cannot be a man coz he does not smoke the same cigarettes as me" and because Devo did a great cover of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 31, 2002 Author Share Posted August 31, 2002 Have you heard the Britney Spears cover of it? P...U! I mean damn! She killed that fucking song! Killed it, buried it, dug it up, anally raped the corpse, urinated on it, buried it upside-down and built a Starbucks on the gravesite.

soldier of fortune Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 Went for Purple Haze, love that Solo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted September 1, 2002 Author Share Posted September 1, 2002 So that's one for Bohemian Rhapsody, one for Satisfaction, one for Purple Haze, and let me check out my window, hmmm, nope, don't see any flying pigs, so I'll bet IC will vote for Free Bird. I'm still undecided. Tough choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Yeah, yeah i voted for Freebird. Runner up was Stairway to Heaven, hands down. American Pie & Like A Rolling Stone get honorable mention, but if its Doors htis, i lean heavilly towards Riders of the Storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Gotta agree with IC on Riders of the Storm. Personally, I think I'd have voted for Hotel California, but as it stands...damn...'s a tough choice... I'm torn between Purple Haze and Stairway to Heaven. I'll come back to this...

Reverend Jax Posted September 11, 2002 Author Share Posted September 11, 2002 Riders On The Srorm is an incredible song, but this was intended to be a poll for the songs that are normal considered the greatest songs of rock. Riders on the storm never makes thoses types of lists at the top. It's not an easy choice by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
