Top 100 Classic Rock Songs of All Time

51. I'd say the same "AOL editors" who censor comments came up with this list... That should take care of all the questions.

52. I think whoever put this list together must be in their twenties. There is just way too much missing here. The research was ham-handed at best. I think someone just flipped through their parent's record collection (and his or her fave band was the Stones) and then spent an afternoon listening to a classic rock station.
Not one RUSH song?! Are you kidding me?!! I can think of a half dozen that should be on this list.

Anyone who mentioned guns and roses is an idiot...possibly THE MOST OVERRATED band OF ALL TIME

54. I do believe the term classic rock was used. Some of the people suggeated is and will never be classic rock. remember there is soft rock, hard rock, and acid rock. classic is used to discribe a radical change in style,sound and lyrics. Not to mention stage presents. most who are reading this top 100 list never seen half of this bands live, so what do you know anyway? ROCK ON

56. Realistically, no list will make everyone happy. A few I think
belonged are Kinks ' You really got me," Lou Reed "Take a walk on the
wild side," ELP "Karn evil 9," David Bowie "Queen Bitch," Beach Boys
"Good vibrations," Badfinger "No matter what," Roxy Music "Love is
the Drug," etc.

57. What happened to # 2 of all time?
Santana's "Samba Pa Ti"??? And # 3. U2 "New Year's Day"??? U2 was picked by the American TOP Music CRITICS as the "BEST ROCK GROUP IN HISTORY" last year.
I agree with # 1! It's MY # 1 also!
Otherwise it's a "HORRIBLE LIST".
You also forgot "VELVET UNDERGROUND"??? And u picked the wrong BEATLES songs! I like "Hard Day's Night", "She Loves You", "8 Days a Week", "Lucy in the Sky...", "O Bla dee..." and "Rita the Metermaid" much better.

58. I was surprised (happily), at all the choices. Just yesterday I was listening to Led Zep. Brought back good memories, not as happily the war. Thank you.

59. No Springsteen but two Seger songs ? Where is Born to Run ?

60. Shucks...it is what it is I guess. Some great ones left off, some great ones included, I too miss Joplin, Santana (Black Magic Woman,Oye Como Va), CSNY, BTO to name a few. The title was classic rock or did I miss read it? Big shamey finger at AOL for leaving out American Pie!! The good news, I enjoyed reading the comments and a trip down memory lane. Keep your paasion alive!!

61. The greatest quality about this list is the many HILLARIOUS comments about it. I love it! FUNny. I challenge the commentors to each make up a 10-song list! Let's do it and compare. Or not.

63. Heard so much of this crap no wonder I love "When You Were Young" by THE KILLERS. NOW THEY ROCK !!!!

64. Thank you so much for making this list. I laughed so hard reading the comments from people who think springsteen and greatful dead aren't on this list. They are not on this list because THEY SUCK!! Ina goda de vida. I'm sure I wrote it wrong but who cares, THAT SUCKS TOO. I play drums but I think that song is the worst ever. Rock on!!!

65. This list has some great songs on it, but it is missing many more. How can The Doors' "Love Her Madly" be on here but their other classics "Break On Through", "Light My Fire", "L.A. Woman", and "The End" not be? Likewise, I was glad to see Jimi Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower", but where was "Purple Haze"? Why was "Back In Black" only at 67, but "You Shook Me All Night Long" at 21? And where were other great AC/DC songs like "Highway To Hell" and "TNT"? Some artists were inexplicably missing entirely, such as Bruce Springsteen and U2. I find it hard to believe that songs like "Born To Run" or "New Year's Day" would be unworthy of inclusion on this list. And have you guys never heard of Santana? Or Rush? This list isn't terrible, but it needs some work. On a positive note, I would like to thank you for not including "Fly Like An Eagle", which is the worst song of all time but for some reason is remembered fondly.

73. Classic Rock was first recognized as being music from 1960-1979. Several years ago some people decided that any rock songs over 20 years old were Classic Rock.
I personally I think it was the Classic Rock radio stations that just wanted to expand their listening pool. Grunge Rock will never be Classic Rock!
Who makes up these lists anyway? The Who never wrote or performed a song called "Won't Get Fooled Again". The song you are thinking of is called "Baba O-riley". Please know what you are talking about.
