Rock N Poll: Round 1, Heat 1

[Rain Man]

With the permission of BigRedChief, I have harvested all of the songs that were suggested in his recent thread as the greatest rock and roll song ever, and we're going to settle it once and for all.

We have 272 songs in the hopper, and I included every song that was suggested, regardless of any ensuing argument about whether or not it was really "Rock and Roll".

We're going to do the contest this way.

Step 1. We'll have 34 heats in Round 1, each with 8 songs. Each person can vote for up to three songs, and the top three will move to the next round. All songs will be randomly selected from the list, so save your conspiracy theories for that Kennedy thing.

Step 2. We'll repeat the same process for Round 2 - heats of eight, top 3 move on.

Step 3. When we get down to the final 8 to 12 songs, we'll go with a more stiff competition of some sort - maybe head to head, maybe a survivor-style deal where we vote the bottom few off the island.

You can make any argument you want for or against any song. It's up to you - YOU - to help your song be named the greatest of all time.

I'm not going to post links to every song because frankly that would be a pain, and if you don't know the song then perhaps it shouldn't get your vote anyway. But if you want to listen, a lot of them are in the original BigRedChief thread: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=241439&highlight=jett

SO ARE YOU READY TO ROCK, CHIEFSPLANET?

ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?

ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...

[KurtCobain]

I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED RAINMAN I LOVE YOU YOU'RE THE GREATEST WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm getting pissed at how long the poll is taking.

We've had the full gamut of emotions so far. Good start, good start.

I know this will make the so-called classic rock purists gather their torches and pitchforks, but I FUCKING HATE LED ZEPPELIN. Annoying and repetitive with Plant providing fuck grunt noises. Ugh.

Y'know, other than Stairway to Heaven I couldn't even name a Led Zeppelin song. I don't know why, but I've never listened to them at all, and maybe they never played on the radio stations I listened to. I was never exposed to them.

No, no, we need proper time for debate and discussion. For example, I just learned tonight that Led Zeppelin's Black Dog is a song that I really like.

lol, I should have noted it being Guns N Roses, my bad. I just assumed everybody knowing all those songs were from the Appitite for Destruction album. I did quote it as greatest album Appitite for Detruction tho.

Even at that GnR has made multiple songs that could be up for recognition as the greatest. Don't Cry, November Rain, Sweet Child of Mine, You could be mine, Paradise City, and they covered good songs and made them better too. knockin on heavens door, Sympothy for the devil, Hair of the dog, Live and let die. and...

I didn't vote for "Highway To Hell" because I think there are better AC/DC songs. "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap", "Thunderstruck", "Back In Black", "For Those About To Rock", etc.,.

Why all the hate for Zeppelin? They have some great songs in their catalog. Especially the early stuff. Listen to their first couple of albums: very bluesy and soulful, taking Elvis's cue of "ripping off black people" and bringing it into hard rock. Listen to the aptly named "I" and "II" and remember those came out in 1969.

And the thing about "Stairway" is that it was an early frontrunner for songs with no real shape to them. It starts slow, grows in tempo, changes in tone, and generally does something that most songs didn't do at the time. Same goes for modern stuff: you'll find a lot of meandering songs nowadays, with pauses, tempo changes, and other interesting "holes" in them. From NIN to Death Cab For Cutie, you'll find more variation than ABACAB (the music pattern, not the song from Genesis). Plus, "Stairway" was pretty much the first crunchy-granola goth-type of song.

Nope. Fatal flaw. Besides, polls about popular music generally just make me want to beat the shit out of people anyway. When it comes to music, I like what I like, don't give a crap about anybody else's opinion, and none of that is ever going to change.

Rain Man said AC/DC, but Hotel Cali is now winning. I think he closed it when AC/DC was up. It looks like I shouldn't have "wasted" my vote on Dylan. I like Hotel California better than the AC/DC song.

[Rain Man]

Did the Eagles or ACDC get the 3rd spot?

Well, I had declared the poll closed, and then it caused a rush of mellow Eagles fans to finally vote five minutes afterward. Now I'm not sure. I'm wondering if I should just add them both. Maybe one kind soul could cast a vote for AC/DC so I can declare it a tie.

Screw it. They're both moving on to the next round.

Well, I had declared the poll closed, and then it caused a rush of mellow Eagles fans to finally vote five minutes afterward. Now I'm not sure. I'm wondering if I should just add them both. Maybe one kind soul could cast a vote for AC/DC so I can declare it a tie.

This is how they run elections in St. Louis.

This is why I put a one day time limit on my douchy polls.

If Hotel California doesn't make it out of the first round I'll put all the rest of these poll threads on ignore.

Blah.

The Eagles are overrated as hell and Hotel California is the most overrated of all their overrated crap.

It's like that play where Derek Jeter threw a backhanded shovel pass to Posada against the A's when Jeremy Giambi was too fucking stupid to slide. It was a nothing play - it was a simple backhanded toss by a cutoff man. I've seen similar plays in slow pitch softball.

But because it was an overrated player doing it, suddenly it becomes mythical.

If Jackson Browne came out with Hotel California, it would be forgotten to history.

Though you are correct - Bob Dylan sucks. Hard. When it comes to overrated crap, he may be one of the few guys out there that could run with the Eagles and their catalog of 1,000 songs (most of which nobody's ever heard and most of which suck bawls).

I've got to admit, Rain Man could learn a thing or two about polling from Frazod. :)

I was wondering which of the HipNtrendYs would piss all over the Eagles first. My money was on Reaper16.

Yeah, but that's why St. Louis is one of the most prosperous and well-regarded cities in America.

Oh c'mon, I issued one of the few "Eminence Front" votes in the thread and am going to fight to the death the keep the Stones moving forward wherever possible.

While I'm not sure what exactly constitutes a "HipNtrendY", unless its sole requirements are not liking the Eagles, I cannot believe I qualify.

The Eagles just suck, that's all.

Y'know, something about time limits on polls really bothers me. I don't know why, and it would make sense to have time limits, but I can never bring myself to do it. I think it's because my polls are my children and I enjoy the thought of them living forever. They're kind of my legacy.

I would imagine the only use I'd have for most of your musical collection is target practice. And that's okay, because musical taste is 100% subjective. Your disdain for the Eagles will have zero impact on whether or not I continue to like them. If I can get over Don Henley being one of the biggest jerkoffs alive, I can handle pretty much anything.

I voted for Hotel California. Clearly the high water mark of the Eagles, and probably the only time they ever actually tried to say anything in their music.

[Los Pollos Hermanos]

Not true. In Peaceful Easy Feeling they were trying to say that they had a feeling and that it was peaceful. And easy.

Wasn't that just the sequel to Take it Easy?

Or did Glenn Frey really need a ride?

Is it too late to rally the votes for Uriah Heep?

Looking at the numbers, I think the answer is yes. But then again, you and FAX carry a lot of weight around here.

Wow, bag on the Eagles, Jackson Browne and Bob Dylan in one post. :shake: I can't say your musical opinions will hold much weight for me.
