CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL: THE RESULTS

haha

Sounds like Mr. Mister to me

You say that like it's a bad thing.

top 25 is looking stellar

All right now feels like it goes for 10 minutes, I don't love it.
I can't stand Yes

but I love Under Pressure so hooray!

this poll def made me a "roundabout" fan

Don't like All Right Now, even as I see its virtues and knew it would place very high in this poll.

Heyyyyyy Roundabout! :D

That live at Wembley version of this nearly brings me to tears it's so good.

Hoping that All Right Now is the highest Paul Rodgers gets in this poll.

why did he come over for dinner and ask you rude questions?

I'm always surprised at how much ILM (and others) love Under Pressure. Mentally I've got it filed with some of Bowie's *other* megastar collaborations.

why did he come over for dinner and ask you rude questions?

Nah, he busted the unions and then moved all the jobs off-shore.

last one for today folks, some dude is back in the morning with our final countdown.

21. Neil Young – Cinnamon Girl
1445 points, 21 votes

Yes. The most CR of Neil Young songs.

Wishing Well got robbed

Neil Young has no business being on this poll

yeah that's kinda weird

also i picture a cinnamon girl being a kinda dirty hippy girl

i like the song though!

Ismael Klata don't need him around, anyhow.

Neil Young has no business being on this poll

what the hell

Young's an odd one. The only Young I heard on CR was "Southern Man," "Heart of Gold," "Old Man," "My My,Hey Hey," and maybe "Rockin'..." He just didn't exist. Too weird.

Cinnamon Girl is such a great song, I hear it on the radio a decent amount. Perfect lyrics, and it's heavier than Paranoid (the song).

I should clarify: I like Neil well enough, it's the voice that doesn't belong here. I can't relate what he does to the other singers here, who are really going for it in the main.

I don't think I've ever heard Neil on CR radio

"Heart of Gold" is being played on CRR somewhere anytime.

You guys are nuts. Neil Young has at least 5 CR fixtures, Harvest was a big hit in its day. Having weirdo auteur tendencies and something like hip cred doesn't stop that.

Neil Young should do a covers album of CRR staples. Imagine him doing Sultans of Swing for instance

Neil Young Gets Yesssssed Out

idk I just don't like a lot of hippie flakes in my classic rock granola

HIPPIE FLAKES ARE THE MAIN INGREDIENT IN CLASSIC ROCK GRANOLA

Neil Young is all over Classic Rock, from Ohio to The Free World.

Hell, though All That It's Worth in there too.

I GOT THE HIPPIE HIPPIE FLAKES

Neil Young has at least 5 CR fixtures,

Plus Helpless and Ohio

Neil ain't no hippie. He's a million miles away from that helicopter day.

I'm not saying he's not actually classic rock, it's just my tastes with this poll find me leaning much more to muscle car guitar joe walshyness and neil just doesn't fit that well in my mind with this stuff

it's weird!

i find myself getting v picky about what I want in my classic rock granola, a lot of my peccadilloes are surprising even to me

I feel bad though because Neil's my guy, I love him to death!!! he's gonna be so mad at me

But there was that time he went to the radio interview and ended up alone at the microphone

Ironically, Neil Young has owned more muscle cars than Joe Walsh has.

He just hasn't driven in them

Still gettin work done at the ranch

Neil young is 1000x more classic rock than fucking "under pressure" (which i like a lot)

just not very toned or swole muscle cars

as far as CSNY goes I only heard "Ohio" and "Helpless." Which raises the total of songs with Neil Young on them I heard to a half dozen.

Rust never sleeps, man. xp

I get what VG is saying, though. Neil is a cut above some of the CR staples. But so is fleetwood mac, etc.

Neil Young has at least 5 CR fixtures,

Plus Helpless and Ohio

Sugar Mountain as well

xps ALLLLLL RITE NOW, god such an amazing breakdown/solo/bass groove sequence halfway through. been getting heavy into free lately, of course this is the big hit but it still owns

neil young is definitely classic rock, a necessary counterbalance to all the muscle car machismo. never been huge into cinnamon girl tho

Swear I've heard needle and the damage done as well

and Tonight's the Night

I just entered a contest to win Tom Petty tickets for next Thursday, wish me luck ILX
