Thanks fellas! This was by far one of the most difficult lists to do because there's so much amazing music out there. I feel guilty not including so many songs lol
45 is one of those legacy songs that I've been listening to since I was very young and it just makes me smile. It's corny, it's silly but I'll always love it.
I worked retail in my younger days, so I definitely understand the in-store radio changing feelings towards songs angle. Like going through a break-up and sitting in a quiet Walgreens at night and Chicago's "You're The Inspiration" comes on again.
Plenty of killer tracks on this list. Props. Been thinking about putting mine up for years, but its a lot of work lol. I've always struggled with ranking the classic rock songs with anything more modern. They're just core. Timeless.
My top five are, and have been for some time:
1. Genesis - That's All
2. Journey - Who's Cryin' Now
3. Fleetwood Mac - The Chain
4. Billy Squier - My Kinda Lover
5. The Doors - Riders on the Storm
I love all the Hold the Line defenders, you are my people!
@0GuyMan0 that Billy Squier tune is so underrated and both Riders on the Storm and The Chain were on my shortlist as well. It's hard to deny the classics!
Kinks have so many great songs, I’d throw Big Sky, Village Green, Victoria and Shangri La up there too. Ray is a genius lyricist, better than any of the Beatles imo
