My Top 50 All-Time Classic Rock & Roll Tunes

This music forum needs a kick in the azz.

B-O-R-I-N-G

Every day I will post my all-time favorite CLASSIC rock tunes.

All-The-Way from 50 to number 1.

Comments encouraged... Haters GFY.

Oh. BTW.  It helps to have a buzz-on. 

Then we are both IN-TUNE. 


Let's get things rolling with

The Beatles at # 50... REVOLUTION

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXMRHf-rNIw

The Doobie Brothers at #49... Long Train Running

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sSWbl4S8KU

Always prefered this over Listen to the Music 

Yep.  Listen to the Music didn't make my top 50 cut. 

Steppenwolf at number 48... Born to be Wild

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UWRypqz5-o&NR=1

They seem to get lost in the shuffle and dont get the respect they deserve. imo 

Got one more coming from Steppenwolf later.

A man who I don't always agree with, but he says what he means and means what he says.  And for that he earns my respect and cracks my Top 50.


Ted Nugent at # 47... Cat Scratch Fever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCJux_7W2i8

 Long train running

 Cat scratch fever

 There are 2-3 better Ted songs........they cant all be in your top 50?

Stranglehold 

Thumbs down on Nugent's signature song?  Really?

Or because I snubbed Stranglehold? Or Wang Tango?

When there's only 50 songs, somebody or something is gonna get squeezed.

If you're coming after me this early, I'd better get Pink Floyd right.

Jeff Beck at #46...  Beck's Bolero

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1hijzkOrnk

 


 I used to get off on Ted in my early days but we both know he's just a banger.......light years away from the gentleman in your avatar (). "Stranglehold" is his best piece imo, followed by "Hey baby" or "Stormtroopin".........also liked "Writing on the wall".


 Sorry for the interruption..........please carry on.

interruptions are good.  feedback is good.  comments are welcome.



While trying to find good you-tube videos to post with the songs,
I am coming across other good stuff.  If I find something interesting, I will post.

Here is some rare footage I have never seen. 
It's Bob Dylan and John Lennon sharing a cab...

Grand Funk Railroad at # 45... We're an American Band

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMsIrKjSM6Y

Don't get me wrong I love Ted Nugent. I am surprised Ted cracked the top 50 all time.  It is difficult to pick just 50.

Love the thread and to kicking some energy into this forum Goose. Can't wait to see what you have coming up want to see some Allman Bros. Beatles, CCR, Doors, Hendrix, Sabbath, Floyd, Zep and more.

You are now committed for 50 days so no vacations.

 

I have a plan.

And of course it includes everybody you named. 

As I list the songs, I'm also listing the you-tube clips.  It's fun to see what these artists really looked like back "in the day".  Often times the "live" version of the song sounds as good or better than the studio version.

Such is NOT the case here.  I suggest you spare your ears and listen to the studio version.

Crosby, Stills, Nash at #44... Suite Judy Blue Eyes

Live Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXQR6RiB9zc

Studio Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2T0RpkyqUU

Great selection love me some CSN  of course I had to check out the live version since you told me not to. It was off.

One of the great songs that did not make the cut was "Wild Thing".

Originally sung by The Troggs, there is a very amusing version done by the late comic Sam Kinison, notoriously remembered as hating women.

Hilarious...
