2/3rds of the way through the second round, and it remains tough sledding to winnow down the candidates. Here you go.

No thanks. I'm pretty happy on my oldies station.

Somewhat of a subject change, but: radio is going to have to come up with a new format soon. They've got oldies stations, and they have classic rock stations, but what happens in 5-10 years? When all of the late 80's-early 2000's rock is too dated to play on normal rock radio? What are they gonna' call that format?

They're going to call it Jack.

I tend to listen to our Jack station during the rare times I listen to the radio (my truck doesn't have one). We have a classic rock station, but I prefer the variety on Jack compared to the same Aerosmith, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Led Zep songs over and over and over. Jack does play some totally lame songs, but it is worth it to mix things up a bit over the classic rut station.

1)"Bullet with Butterfly Wings," to me, represents the other side of being "Comfortably Numb." A Grammy winner, the song also features one of rock's best drum performances, IMO.
2)"Rocket Man"
3)"Comfortably Numb"

Crazy Train - easy #1.

Hair of the Dog - strong #2 (driving rock song right there)

Old Time Rock and Roll - coinflip #3; could've gone to Boston or Floyd.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-27-2011, 11:44 PM

This is one of the tougher heats for me so far. I hate to see a song like Hair of the Dog go down, as well as Old Time Rock N Roll.

But I had to vote for Pink Floyd, Elton John, and Ozzy on this. Those songs are all legendary AFAIC.

But we're not voting for "legendary". If we were, my votes would be Ozzy, Elton, & Bob.

I know. Not all of my votes are based on musical history. I can't help but vote for some of my very favorites. I think the 3 I voted for are all awesome, and fit my criteria for what I think this poll should mean.

Cool. As long as they are your 3 favorites. I just keep holding you to the carpet for your descriptors. I'll stop doing that now. Thanks for the clarification.

There have been a couple of times I've voted for songs that weren't my personal favorite in favor of something I thought was more meaningful to the overall progression of the genre. Inspiration is a big part of music to me, even if it's not my own.

I changed my strategy to voting against songs I hate instead of voting for songs I like.
