CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL: THE RESULTS

Love Sultans but love Romeo and Juliet and Tunnel of Love so much more, if you kick Les Boys off Making Movies you have a perfect album.
Which I did not vote for as one of my favorite CR albums, shame on me.

Though Sultans' guitar solo is amazing, the solos from In the Gallery trump it

yeah, and Making Movies is great as well. and Communique!

I dont seem to be getting the pictures anymore.

looks ok on my end, anyone else?

That Unplugged Layla is horrible, but it's one of those tracks that was made even more horrible by its unexplainable ubiquity. From 1992-1993, I probably heard it more than any other song.

QFT

And yeah "romeo" and "tunnel" are a whole other thing, but not the kind of thing you hear on the radio very often.

I still see pics (android)

Did Guitar George know the E7 inversion that George Harrison was talking about upthread? Or maybe Guitar George is George Harrison...

i posted in the noms thread that i hate hearing sultans on the radio, but this poll has made me do a total 180, the lyrics/story to this song are so wonderful, they say everything "American Pie" wants to using 10% as much ink

Jeff "Guitar" George Will Teach You Guitar

Guitar George knew ALL THE CHORDS

Only thing I hated worse than that acoustic version of Layla was that acoustic version of Hotel California.

harkens back to the halcyon days of my tweens when all the boys wore tennis headbands because they wanted to be like Mark Knopfler

Yup, that's why "Sultans" was my only Dire Straits vote in this. Making Movies is indisputably a classic rock album, but not so much a Classic Rock album.

don't you mean "les boys"

lol vg. I sometimes think about trying to rock a 'Knopf at Live Aid' look. But tbh all of the band were smokin' that day.

mark knopfler fan art ... can't believe i hadn't gone down that road before.

he's so gross. The mouth looks like he bought it someplace.

Also, it's really hard to search for GNR Fan Fiction on Google.

I dare you to enter the world of Stevie Nicks fan art and slash.

holy jesus.

NEXT TRACK

I'm really late to the game on pretty much all classic rock tho tbf tbh

Voodoo Child intro is basically my favorite thing in all of music. my #2

Mine too

it's a #2 all right

no it's good

xpost nearly all of us are late to classic rock

it just reminds me of hulk hogan though

or hollywood hogan, I should say

It's my number 8, but one of my favorite moments in music.

alright folks, gr8080 back with you again to take you through results #'s 30-21.

30. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – American Girl
1296, 20 votes, 2 first place votes

nice

OH YEAH!

ALL RIGHT!

TOO LOW!

One of my personal regrets is not putting American Girl higher.

don't think she's following along w/ us but that photo is roxy's doppelganger imo

such a great fucking song

xpost nearly all of us are late to classic rock

word but like REALLY late, I'm 33 and didn't even really sniff the genre until late in college.

I was listening to "Voodoo Child" yesterday and just marveling at the controlled chaos of the guitars on that song. Astounding every time.

"American Girl" shoulda been higher but I'm happy it's top 30.

Also, it's really hard to search for GNR Fan Fiction on Google.
