CLASSIC RAWK CHAMPIONSHIP 2012 is coming. This is where we will predict the content and order of the annual Top 1043 songs of all-time as played over Thanksgiving weekend on WAXQ. By way of training, I'd suggest you listen to your local Clear Channel CR station, for as long as you can stand it. It will be interesting to see how this year's countdown differs from years past. I think it could significantly. I will announce a signup in coming weeks.

How did they come up with 1043?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 17 2012 09:09 AM Re: Start Training

104.3

We just need to hack into batmagadanleadoff's database for all the answers.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 17 2012 09:39 AM Re: Start Training

I'm not sure what's going to happen in the countdown, but would suspect a database of past winners could possibly mislead given what appears to be the "Classic Rock" genre itself undergoing a kind of shift. Your milage may vary!

I'd love to play, but I'd listen to the John Sterling Home Run Call Channel before I listen to commercial classic rock stations.

I'm spinning all my Skynyrd records backwards listening for secret homages to the joys of city living and mass transit.

Yeah, no.

OK, fine, I'm in. But I get to impose my own arbitrary rules. ...what appears to be the "Classic Rock" genre itself undergoing a kind of shift. I know, right? When "We Belong" appeared in Talladega Nights, I hadn't heard it in 10 or 15 years, now you'd think it was Pat Benatar's career-defining hit. I can't shop for tabouli or stare at a cover band for 10 minutes without hearing it.

Just develop a good cheating strategy for this one... This will be helpful in this regard...

davidayden399 wrote: Just develop a good cheating strategy for this one... This will be helpful in this regard... There's the rub. Too many of us were accused of peeking in previous Classic Rawk Challenges so now JCL has us pick our songs before the countdown is even broadcast. [crossout]I miss the days when we could just search the web and cherry pick the answers,[/crossout] I mean I miss the days when we could all feel that we could trust one another.

OK, need a solid count of who's in ASAP. I should also mention that you are welcome to try and tip the scales toward your faves by voting at this address: [url]http://www.q1043.com/pages/top1043/2012.html

Mets – Willets Point Nov 05 2012 09:51 AM Re: Start Training

I'm going to fill ballots full of Wilson Phillips' songs. Hold on for one more day, I'm in.

Seems like I've been training for this my whole life. [list:34sdac9a]Standing in the rain With his head hung low Couldn't get a ticket It was a sold out show Heard the roar of the crowd He could picture the scene Put his ear to the wall Then like a distant scream... He heard one [bigpurple:34sdac9a]GUITAR! JUST BLEW HIM AWAY! HE SAW STARS IN HIS EYES![/bigpurple:34sdac9a] And the very next day...[/list:u:34sdac9a]
