O, I definitely think Billy Joel is gaining mo again, and "Miami" is a gainer -- I hear it more often now than Piano Man even ... He's got a string of concerts lined up now and the years out of the spotlight have melted away some of the shit that had covered him for so long. For the same reasons I thought "Angry Young Man" was gonna crush in the 'Man' category ... gotta check on that tho. I listened through the 600s and 500s on Saturday, and was actually surprised at the relative breadth. I'll try to score your papers later

Jounrey's Don't Stop Believing cracks the top 15, finishing at #11 ... no doubt riding a second wave of Sopranos popularity, what with Gandolfini's recent untimely death and the show's 16 month residency in HBO's prime-time rerun rotation. The Sopranos appears to be on endless loop, with Season One, Episode One, airing tonight. Onion rings, anyone? [youtube]rnT7nYbCSvM[/youtube]

The judges have completed the scoring (finally) ... and the winner, and NEW Klassik RAWK CHAMPION of the WORLD is... Seawolf17! Come and collect your belt. Note you must defend this against any and all comers until you are defeated. The Wolf rebounded from a poor first round (9 points, tied for 7th) with a perfect 25-point second round and a forum-best 10 point round 3. He'd have won even without the 5 point bonus for sweeping the 2nd round. Nobody guessed that In My Life, Thunder Road or a Day in the Life would be in the top 10. Everyone whiffed on their Who selections. Final score by rounds: 1. Seawolf 9-25-10 - 44 2. JCL 11-18-6 - 35 T3. Marathon 13-12-8 - 33 T3. Hahn Solo 13-14-6 - 33 5. Leiter Wagner 12-12-6 - 30 6.

I'm pretty consistent in my last-ness no matter what the format, huh? Seventh is a minor accomplishment, but irish's growing up in a different zone gives him a handicap I can't claim.

16. (1039) Deep Purple: Space Truckin' HIGHER - 235!! This deserves it's own special thread, if not it's own publicly financed committee to investigate. I accept that there is to be a Purplebump, based on the bands nomination this year to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, but climbing 804 slots makes it one nuclear-powered heatseaker. Did it get featured in a soundtrack or on a commercial or something?

I should say, you deserved a bonus for being the only one to correctly predict Sunshine Superman would be the world's strongest man. Most people's scores in round 3 were for corralling 21-25 in any order; only you, Met Irish (Angry Young Man) and Seawolf (Rocket Man) scored in questions 26-30.

Hi, I'm the Beatles. I crush your puny list. Seriously, I guess the format evolution that has, in recent years, consigned the mighty Beatles to the "not really rock" category has been happening for 30 years or more, but happening so imperceptibly that I didn't realize it. I also wonder if it somehow now costs stations a bit more to play a Beatles song than to play a ZZ Top song, or something.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 02 2014 12:36 PM Re: KLASSIK RAWK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 (enter NOW!!!!)

You might recall seveeral years ago the Washington DC "Big 1003" countdown of Klassik Rawk contained no Beatles at all. I listened briefly this weekend and see they've returned, in fact scoring twice in the tawp ten: 10 More Than A Feeling BOSTON 9 Let It Be BEATLES 8 Won't Get Fooled Again WHO 7 Bohemian Rhapsody QUEEN 6 Hotel California EAGLES 5 Dream On Aerosmith 4 Born To Run Bruce Springsteen 3 Sweet Home Alabama LYNYRD SKYNYRD 2 Hey Jude BEATLES 1 Stairway To Heaven LED ZEPPELIN Read more: http://www.wbig.com/pages/BIG-1000-New- ... tdown.html

Edgy MD Jan 02 2014 12:41 PM Re: KLASSIK RAWK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 (enter NOW!!!!)

Yeah, I noticed too. I'm curious if it was market research that restored the Beatles to their format, or a strictly business decision. The Sirus FM 1960s channel seems to program random top 40 songs from the sixties --- seemingly weighted, so you'll hear stuff that barely cracked the charts, but you'll hear top 10 stuff a lot more. Based on that, you'd think that the Beatles would dominate. Every five or at least every 10 songs would be Beatles songs. But they're played no more than, say, the Hollies, and I think they're on less than the Supremes.
