Took this idea from a website... they did a top 100 in classic rock, but the twist was that no artist could be represented more than once in their list. So I was wanting to try that here, but only with your Top 10 classic rock songs. I plan to do this with several genres. I could see Mr. Romard having 9 Steve Earl songs in any given list... sorry Jeff! :)

10. Rosalita - Springsteen
9. Slow Ride - Foghat
8. Proud Mary - CCR
7. She's a Lady - Tom Jones
6. Dream On - Aerosmith
5. Running With The Devil - Van Halen
4. La Grange - ZZ Top
3. Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
2. YSMANL - AC / DC
1. Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin

This was really hard with the twist. But it was also hard for me not to include any Lynyrd Skynyrd.
 
Is Tom Jones rock?

Mine (I favor progressive Rock Bands):

Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
Starship Trooper - Yes
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis
Nights in White Satin - Moody Blues
Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan
Tom Sawyer -Rush
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits
Joker - Steve Miller
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
London Calling - The Clash

yeah, really hard..... I didn't put any KISS, Queen, or Skynyrd, and I love those bands. And how can I not include any Rolling Stones, right?

Geeze, I messed up.... I skipped Stranglehold? But I don't know if I would drop anything for it....
 
Well, since Haleems are playing Wii upstairs (or doing the horizontal bop), I'll take a shot at it...

No particular order, just as I think of them...


Gimme Shelter - The Stones
Show Me The Way - Frampton
Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
Down On The Corner - CCR
Let It Be - Beatles
The Weight - The Band
Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh
Wango Tango - Nuge
(Ghost) Riders in the Sky - Outlaws
Neon Angels - Runaways

There's 714,000 others, but I don't feel like typing them... xf:D
