Music Rock N Poll: Round 2, Heat 4

**Rain Man** · 03-24-2011, 09:37 AM

Who will be the next to move to Round 3? Got some strong contenders here across a variety of styles.

**Rain Man** · 03-24-2011, 09:45 AM

My rankings:

Fortunate Son, Creedence Clearwater Revival - 1st on the poll and first on my list. I like the energy of this song.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Meat Loaf - It's a little bit of a novelty act, but at the same time it's got a great sound and you feel good after you hear it. #2 vote.

We Will Rock You, Queen - It's simple rock, but it's real rock, and it's effective. Everyone in the world knows this song and can sing along with it. #3 vote, and could almost pass Dashboard for the #2 spot.

Carry On My Wayward Son, Kansas - I hate to not vote for this because it's a great song, but we're in rarified air now.

Rock Around the Clock, Bill Haley - Good classic song. I can't move it above the others. #5

Simple Man, Lynyrd Skynyrd - I like me some Skynyrd, but this isn't at the top of my list for them.

Thunderstruck, AC/DC - No bagpipes, no vote.

Knocking at Your Back Door, Deep Purple - Not something I'd listen to.

oh Lord. this is gonna be tough. there's not a lemon in the bunch. i even kind of like the AC/DC song.

Fortunate Son & Simple Man. None of the others should advance.

Chiefnj2 · 03-24-2011, 09:57 AM

I'd probably put most of these songs ahead of the other winners.

1. Rock Around The Clock - I have to pay homage to one of the songs that started it all.
2. Fortunate Son.
3. Paradise By The Dashboard Light.

**Old Dog** · 03-24-2011, 10:00 AM

CCR, Meatloaf, Kansas

**Dartgod** · 03-24-2011, 10:08 AM

This one was tough. I put CCR and Kansas down immediately and then had to think a bit about Queen, AC/DC and Skynyrd. In the end I picked Simple Man, which actually surprised me.

I only voted for Fortunate Son but if I'd know Carry On My Wayward Son was in 3rd I would have voted for Simple Man too.

This, except in a different order:

#1 CCR
#2 Meatloaf
#3 Bill Haley and the Comets

Carry on - personal anthem, will vote for it every time.
We will rock you - Iconic, had to vote for it at least this time
Rock around the clock - sometimes you have to recognize where this all came from

On the list of things that I'm embarrassed for people to know are from the state of Kansas, the band Kansas ranks just below Fred Phelps.

Fortunate Son -- sounds like napalm in the morning. (?)
Paradise by the Dashboard Light -- this is the closest i ever came to scoring.
Simple Man -- for the Seinfeld crowd, this would be my Desperado song if it was less set on making me cry. Oh, and a little less simple.
