Q104.3's (NYC radio station) top 1,043 classic rock songs of all time

There ARE 1043 classic rock songs tobe considered top? That's like saying what are your top 1000 cars. You'd run dry after 100 for sure...

I agree with you about Pink Floyd. I guess it wasn't a southern thing cause I don't remember any of us listening to that monotone rock. But on classic radio they play them all day long. Boring. I prefer "Shake dat booty music" to this mumble rock. Rock on...

What the hell is the B-52's "Love Shack" doing there?

 

I thought these ridiculous lists were a Canadian problem, but I see you guys have them in the USA too. Every Labour Day, just about every damn "rock" station has a "Top 1000" countdown of some sort that always, always, always culminates with either "Hey Jude" or "Stairway to Heaven". ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

Simple questions:
- how is this list compiled?
- what criteria determine a song's placement?
- how is what you do any different from what every high school boy has done on the back of his binder for the last 20+ years?

Just another example of why I can't listen to radio. None of them know a damn thing about rock n roll.

BTW: Moody Blues' "Question" (#119) above "Bell Bottom Blues", "Hey Joe", "Magic Bus", "Ohio" "Highway Star" and "Tuesday's Gone"? Yeah whatever. Keep on rockin' you idiots!

 

Sorry drtax I have to totally disagree with you.
I think Pink Floyd is one of the best bands ever.


My faves are
Pink Floyd
Beatles
Led Zepplin
Doors
Who
Stones
Elton
oh ya I also love Britney {for my eyes}
