Every year at Thanksgiving, New York's classic rock station (104.3) asks its listeners to vote on their favorite songs of all time. The results are tabulated, and the top 1,043 songs are played in order throughout the 4-day weekend. I decided that I wanted to be part of the process this year. However, by the time I decided on my top 10, the voting had closed. (Even though it was still a week before the holiday!) Since I went through the effort, I wanted to share it somewhere, so here we go:
1. More Than A Feeling - Boston
2. Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
3. You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
4. Heat of the Moment - Asia
5. Barracuda - Heart
6. Legs - ZZ Top
7. Separate Ways - Journey
8. Rock and Roll All Night - Kiss
9. Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas
10. Dude Looks Like a Lady - Aerosmith
I tried to look up the actual results, but there seem to be some problems with the station's website. As far as I can tell, Stairway To Heaven was number one in the voting.
Other songs that almost made my top ten (in no particular order):
Pride - U2
Tom Sawyer - Rush
Somebody To Love - Jefferson Airplane
Africa - Toto
Born in the USA - Bruce Springsteen
Of course, these are only songs that fit the general definition of "classic rock". So no room for all of my favorite Carpenters songs. :-)
