you may be asking yourself about now, what could possibly next? what could be higher than Boston? who's next, huh? well....I'm gonna go ask the station manager if he can remember, because I can't. we're all wasted, quite frankly.

my #1 - can't wait to see what bullshit ILM thinks is more classic rock than Who's Next

hint: nothing
My number one as well, every song holds up for me despite the constant rotation.

Who's Next wasn't my #1 (but another Who album was, which likely won't show up).

My # 2 and only one to place so far. Of course I had a greatest and a live album, so that's on me.

2. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours104 points, 13 votes, 3 first place votes
― some dude, Sunday, 27 July 2014 17:20 (ten years ago) link
who's next is the classic rockiest of all classic rock albums as far as i'm concerned, but i didn't vote for it because i'm way beyond sick of the two classic rockiest anthems on it.
― fact checking cuz, Sunday, 27 July 2014 17:25 (ten years ago) link
there are three tracks from rumours in my top 60. it didn't even occur to me to vote for the album. i have no idea why.
― fact checking cuz, Sunday, 27 July 2014 17:28 (ten years ago) link
I feel like there're three possible no.1s now, each of which will make for a radically different tracks countdown.

it strikes me that seven of our top 10 were basically born as classic rock albums while the other three had to immigrate to the format. cars and petty albums were very much new wave albums upon release, while fleetwood mac album was top 40.

― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 27 July 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
yeah I didn't even think to vote for rumours.
did think to vote for the cars but it slipped off in favor of classic rockier stuff. awesome surprise finish.

DON: While we were in the midst of recording The Long Run, we had the chance to hear an advance copy of the Cars' debut. It was like listening to music from an unsettling future. Garage rock with hovercrafts. We wondered where we'd fit in.
GLENN: ...And five minutes later we had "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks" in the can, and we were back on our merry way--Which is to say I had sex with a chick named Mary!
DON: Well, yeah.

a note about the scoring system, btw, since I don't think I've explained it yet. your #1 track gets 109 points, each track after that gets one less point, and so on until your #100 track gets 10 points.

I heard the Spiderbait version about a dozen times on a Qantas flight back to L.A. from Sydney.
The song is definitely timeless, just like crossing the International Date Line from the west.

The "Black Betty" remix is by Ben Liebrand, one of the best remixers of all time, IMO. (Check out his remixes of "Precious Little Diamond", "Housequake", "Love Can't Turn Around", the "ALF" theme [seriously!], "Holiday Rap", etc, etc.) He sometimes gets a bad rep for the Art of Noise-sampling breakbeat remix of Bill Withers' "Lovely Day", but I think that one's kinda cool in its own way too.
He also did this other classic rock remix, which I think clearly beats the better know Sure Is Pure remix of "Long Rain Running":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOcrI6LAVWA
