forgot about this. I kept thinking jailbreak when thin lizzy came up. so good.

David Schramm (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:27 (eleven years ago)

Is it possible "Smoke on the Water" didn't chart? Seems likely at this point.

Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot, I mean she was (intheblanks), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:28 (eleven years ago)

xxp true, Cowboy Song, Whiskey in a Jar, Running Back and Jailbreak would fit right in on any 70s rock block.

voodoo chili, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:30 (eleven years ago)

man, i still think those cats are great

°ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:32 (eleven years ago)

prefer 'jailbreak' but 'boys are back in town' is one of the few songs in the top 20 that really belongs there

een, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:33 (eleven years ago)

Don't Fear the Reaper

Oh, right. Well, a top 10 that is 40 percent Heart and BOC is ok with me.

something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:33 (eleven years ago)

2. Olivia Newton-John - Heart Attack

Dr. Yah Mo B. There, DDS (Old Lunch), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:33 (eleven years ago)

I think I might've said this on the nominations thread, but when I was a kid Phil's voice on the verses always reminded me of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I still love to picture Arnold partying down at Dino's

some dude, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:33 (eleven years ago)

my fave thin lizzy deep cut, in case anyone cares: http://youtu.be/lAegMD4Ip3M

°ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:34 (eleven years ago)

I kept thinking jailbreak when thin lizzy came up

i wrote in jailbreak, but can't argue w/the boys

mookieproof, Friday, 1 August 2014 18:34 (eleven years ago)

i hear jailbreak on CRR just as much as boys, if not more

°ㅇ๐ْ ° (gr8080), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:36 (eleven years ago)

so we DON'T like heavy metal thunder, as it turns out???

Swag Heathen (theStalePrince), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:36 (eleven years ago)

Well, we think you've got an idea of what the top 2 is going to be. But let's get it all out there. I was rooting all along for it to take #1, but in the end the gap in points was far too big to overcome. This one's for emil.y.

Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot, I mean she was (intheblanks), Friday, 1 August 2014 18:37 (eleven years ago)
