As most of you know, I pretty much listen to classic rock whenever I’m in my truck. So over the Thanksgiving weekend, I got to hear quite a bit of Q104.3’s top 1043 classic rock songs (as voted by the station’s listenership). I have to say, the top ten are a bit surprising – not so much for what’s there (I mean, who DIDN’T expect “Freebird” to rank high?), but for what’s not.
10 – The Rolling Stones – Satisfaction
9 – The Rolling Stones – Sympathy For The Devil
8 – The Beatles – Let it Be
7 – The Eagles – Hotel California
6 – The Beatles – Hey Jude
5 – The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again
4 – Lynyrd Skynyrd – Freebird
3 – The Who – Baba O’Riley
2 – Derek And The Dominoes – Layla
(drumroll)
And the Number 1 classic rock song of all time is…
1 – Led Zeppelin – Stairway To Heaven
Would you agree that the mighty Led Zeppelin deserve the #1 spot? Discuss.
Well I think it’s an accurate list of the average classic rock fan’s favorite ten songs, but are they my favorite ten classic rock songs? Nope… So I’m not surprised with the list, but it doesn’t reflect my feelings…
I hate “Stairway to Heaven.” Uck.
