Ahh, wish I had 1-2 more days to present the list. C'est la vie. We're in the Top 50, do I even need to say, "Enjoy"?

50 Somebody to Love - Jefferson Airplane

49 Somebody to Love - Queen

48 Blinded by the Light - Bruce Springsteen

47 The End - The Doors<- Hmmm, what will Huskie Dan say about me with this song? Is this really the end of the Doors songs?

46 Hotel California - Eagles<- Told you there would be some surprises in the Top 10. No 7 minute ballads!

45 You've Lost that Lovin Feeling - Righteous Brothers<- Classical Rock? Dunno, but you gotta love this song.

44 Hollywood Nights - Bob Seger<- I can't stand Seger...but even I can appreciate this is a pretty good tune.

43 Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin

42 All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

41 Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who<- Folks are gonna say this is underrated. But, the entire Top 40 can't be by The Who, and I like #27 way better...

You have got to be kidding me? This is by far the best song The Who ever did. I have refrained long enough from posting on these list you have been putting up, this is an absolute travesty. This song should be top ten.

Also one more bone to pick, I have seen everything from the Righteous bros. to Jimmy Buffet, the Clash to Billy Idol. How comes I have yet to see the Ramones on this list? :mad:

Alright Mr. Rocket (if that's your real name) I'll tip my hand...there are 2 songs left by The Who and they're both better than "Who are You". Heck, only historical consideration put it ahead of "Behind Blue Eyes" and "You Better, You Bet".

I'm a huge fan of The Who, which is why I put their truly best stuff at the top, and didn't follow the lead of those commercial polls.

I had the Romantics...isn't that the same thing?

My favorite Airplane!

Regarding the Ramones: I would have thought "I Wanna Be Sedated" would make the list. :(

I'll just let everyone's imagination go on their own here..... :angel:

Yup - gotta be up there. Damn that Tom Cruise in Top Gun, though!!

Alright, I meant "Won't Get Fooled Again". Of course getting that wrong really takes the steam out of my post. But, some of us have to pretend we're working!
