This poll was the best! Thanks some dude and gr8080!

Still a little disappointed that my #1 didn't place. I figured "Cheap Sunglasses" would land somewhere between 50 and 100, but continued to think it would place for an unreasonable amount of time.
― Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot, I mean she was (intheblanks), Saturday, 2 August 2014 00:12 (nine years ago) link
I just kept thinking, "Maybe everyone else loves it just as much as I do!" I only finally realized it wouldn't place when there were only 7 or 8 songs left.
― Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot, I mean she was (intheblanks), Saturday, 2 August 2014 00:13 (nine years ago) link
In retrospect, I should have known as soon as La Grange placed at #50, as it's their iconic song.

Didn't make a hangout list ballot, but I would like to say that the Cisco Kid sounds all right, Mommy and Daddy are definitely all right, and from what I've gathered, Jesus is just alright, so I guess he can come too. Norman Greenbaum is in on his recommendation. The Renegade seems like he might bring the party down though, busting things up, cops on his ass - we're just trying to have a good time here, man. I'm not going to be the one who admits I'm kinda not into the Reaper coming by, but if he's bringing booze, ahh, fuck it.
Meanwhile, the Guitar Man waits at home by the phone, figuring maybe everybody has a big test to study for tonight.

OK let's try this
some dude, I didn't see a #1 listed for "Moving In Stereo", was that a typo?
this list is totally subjective, but my criteria went something like:
1. would I dig hearing this at random right now at this point in my life?2. was this really important to my musical development, personal history, weird random unforgettable moments, etc?3. is this, in my opinion, the essence of classic rock?

My ballot, with "did not make the top 100" in bold, and actual placement off to the right. Looking back over this now and knowing how the poll went (and what got totally passed over) this looks to me like a stranger or an alien wrote it: I packed in a lot of personal "aww, I like that song" choices in a way that might not be 100% true to my opinions on rockin' and what truly rocks hardest. Ehhh, I'm fine with that.

My biggest goofs in a strategic sense: "Feeling Alright" was apparently a big waste of my #9 spot, ditto "Fox on the Run" at #12, and most damningly, "Movin' Out" at #16. Most surprising did-not-places: "Jungle Love" and "Saturday In The Park" - thought everybody liked those! Also thought "Cat Scratch Fever" would get at least some of the muttonchop vote but maybe Nugent's intense gross awfulness as a person worked against him here.

Totally otm with regards to Nugent. I feel like Stranglehold would have placed between 50 and 75 if Nuge had the same public profile as the dudes from Mountain or Nazareth.

Argent's follow-up to HYHU, "Tragedy", is brilliant. Don't know why it wasn't a hit.

You could say that was a... sad turn of events.

Ha, I started this thread on "Hold Your Head Up" in 2003: Argent - "Hold Your Head Up"
I'm still not sure I hear the "woman". It mostly just sounds like "Hold your head up, whoa" to me.

I have heard it on CR radio since then.

the scene in trees lounge that uses it as a soundtrack is maybe one of my favorite movie syncs ever

Ha, I first thought it was "hold your head up, BOY!"

my local classic rock station has a daily feature called "themes to me" where they play 3 songs and then the caller who correctly spots the common theme between them they win concert tickets or whatever.
