Top 100 Classic Rock songs of all time!

[Nololob]

Yeah, but then one has to wonder which song will be used for each band. Probably the most everplayed/overrated ones naturally. Dare to take a guess as to Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple's selections?

Smoke On The Water has nearly nothing to do with what Deep Purple are able play, I suppose Black Night will be an ultimate classic rock song in this case.

On Led Zep I would think between Black Dog and Heartbreaker. Stairway To Heaven shouldn't represent the band IMO.

I am leaning towards the more obvious choices, but we shall see.

In no way do I consider those their best though, just their well knowns.

the list is growing....I have merged the additional songs into the first post

I always thought of America as a 'soft rock' band. Nonetheless, Horse With No Name is classic!

Should be called Most Popular Classic Rock Radio Song list. Pretty damn predictable ...
not that there aren't songs that I like on the list so far.

Any "Top" list usually does translate into the most played radio songs or the top selling singles.


I don't discredit the list so far. I am waiting for the top 20 to appear...then we will see how predictable the list is

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zep
Mainstream but still just as memorable imo.

 

[Fever]

For it to be a Top Classic Rock song it has to be a popular song.How could a song that isn't popular make the list?

 

[Magic]

Exactly, Fever. Back in the 70's, I use to listen to a lot of radio, and that is usually how I chose my music............what was being played on the radio.


Of course back then, the album usually contained more than one "good" song, the whole albums were good

Today, that isn't always the case. You have one or two hit singles, then the rest of the CD is fluff.
