WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF CLASSIC ROCK (Top 40 kwiz)

Johnny Lunchbucket Dec 04 2019 05:48 AM

OK, so while I thought about reviving it as an elaborate contest but don't have that kinda energy anymore instead let's do a quick quiz based on the results of the recent Thanksgiving 1043 countdown (which I didn't listen to). Please excuse yourself if you know the results and resist the temptation to look things up. One guess per post, no consecutive-guessing, no cheating, let's fill in the Top 40 classic rawk songs of all time according to this year's 1043 countdown. Just try to hit the dartboard here with songs -- no extra points based on the order, but I'll give bonus points if you also slot your guess in the correct position it landed (except for No. 1, which gets a half-point) Go

Baba O'Riley! There's a funny show on Adult Swim called "Joe Pera Talks With You." The character is a rather awkward music teacher in the Upper Peninsula. In one episode he discovers classic rock and hears "Baba" for the first time and starts telling everyone about it.

I'm stunned by the low rankings for Bruce, Pink Floyd and The Who. Is the Klassick Rawk audience getting younger and not being as familiar with these classics? If Born to Run isn't out there, I can't imagine another Bruce song being higher than Born to Run. Curious how this plays out.

That's the beauty of the banality that is Klassik Rawk! It changes even when nothing's changed! Looking at the list there are some interlopers that in their contempoary eras, and even a few years ago, you never would have guessed belonged where they do.



Even though they are all chestnuts there are a few stunners.

Confession time - I'm not a genuine Deadhead. Uncle John's Band was always and remains the only Dead song I truly liked. ... until Jerry Garcia's I Will Survive. But I will stop and listen again when UJB comes on the radio (which, almost never happens). Confession #2: I have no idea what the Classic Rock station in my listening area is. Just not worth seeking since I'd have to listen to blather and I have no tolerance for blather. Thank you, YouTube.

=batmagadanleadoff post_id=27687 time=1575516759 user_id=68] Jeez, the Hendrix song that's always making the top 50 of these lists is Purple Haze. I used to have a database of this data specifically for Lunchie's rawk contests.

IIRC, Jimi's first big hit was Hey Joe, which I posted a YouTube link and realized that was likely a breach of protocol for this type of thread and have deleted it. Then he stopped playing Hey Joe and moved on to Purple Haze.

Good work on the overnight shift as 3 correct were submitted since the last update. Edgy nails the 3rd Queen song in the Top 40 which to me is unfathomable but reflective of the boost of the flick. That's where Springsteen disappeared to. Michigan reveals the post-Some Girls moment I was referring to in Roxanne; and Batmags is of course correct with the perennial Purple Haze. At some point soon I'll reveal some clues to the remaining ones. Some of you are warm though. Some can still be guessed. Some are by artists already in the Top 40. At least one makes me want to stab someone.

I am going to wear that belt to work today with my Christmas tie and socks. That will make a bold statement!!! I would never have guessed "War Pigs." Even if you had told me, "Pick a Sabbath song," I would have made about 10 guesses before getting to "War Pigs." I do like "Photograph." I think its better than a lot of the Mutt Lang-produced stuff that came later and gets most of the airplay.

I'm having trouble believing "Money" placed no higher than 200. My relationship with Classick Rawk these days is to tune to a CR station, hear one measure of "Money," and move to another station. I'm guessing Springsteen's leftiness is diminishing his standing among the increasingly #MAGA classick rock base.

I've definitely noticed a diminishing of BRUCE!! on the radio in recent years although I find it hard to imagine, particularly in the northeast, that politics could have much to do with it. I mean sure he hasn't had a 'hit' in years, but neither have many others. Hell, I've heard stations that'll play 60 Tom Petty songs for every one of Bruce's (actually what they do is to play three TP songs 20 times each but that's just what CR Radio does) and Petty not only hasn't had a hit lately but he's dead at the present time (and you can look it up). The continued top status of STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN got me wondering about, since my breakup with CRR 20-some years ago, how long it's been since I hears the song start to finish. I have no concrete idea but I'm thinking it's maybe a decade or more. It also got me thinking about how long it will be until I feel like hearing 'Stairway' start to finish again due to CRR driving it into the ground all those years ... and I'm thinking that it may be another decade or more.

I always believed it was the DJ pick for the obvious reason. Never a favorite, but I am unsurprised at the stuff still residing in the top 10. And, I was thisclose to submitting Whipping Post but figured, nah, no chance. That's how out of touch I am. I guess I deserve an "OK, Boomer."

List is entirely male and, other than Jimi, entirely white.

There was often a kind of scam at CR stations involving them supposedly playing listener requests in order to give the illusion of variety. It would go something like this: -- Listener: I'd like to hear [group theoretically in the station's wheelhouse but not part of their prime rotation] -- Station: Thanks for calling, we'll try to get that on for you -- Listener: Could you play [deeper album cut from an approved group (ie: Steppenwolf but NOT BtBW)] from me to my girlfriend? -- Station: We've got lots of requests but we'll see if we can get to that one -- Listener: Could I hear 'STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN'? -- Station: Coming right up!

I'm guessing Springsteen's leftiness is diminishing his standing among the increasingly #MAGA classick rock base. It's not the leftiness as much as the limosine leftiness, I suspect. Bruce prolly believes in his cause more than ever but $400-a-ticket Broadway shows have a way of distancing oneself from a point of connection with regular guys. He's pushed it out of my league and I'm bleeding heart Springsteen fan who can get to midtown in less than 20 minutes. What's it gonna feel like for Freddy Factory and UAW Andy? The cops and firemen hate him now too, and Classic-Rock Listening MAGA Retards worship cops and in many cases are cops and firemen.

Edgy MD Dec 07 2019 09:52 PM Re: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP OF CLASSIC ROCK (Top 40 kwiz)

Well, technically, Jimi's not in the listening audience, but yeah. Make Rock 'n' Roll Great Again! On the other hand: Three songs by Queen, and Freddie Mercury is Parsi Indian — kinda pale-skinned but not really Caucasian. "Gimme Shelter" is billed to a band of BlancoBrits, but the best part of it is the guest vocals from non-white and non-male Merry Clayton. Allmans had a sun person on drums in their otherwise ice-person lineup. And Black Sabbath had "black" in their name! #Diversity!

Old boys club CR has no Richie Havens, no Al Green, no Sly & the Family Stone, only one Hendrix, no Areatha, no Roberta Flack, no Ike & Tina, no Sam Cooke, no Motown. Sheesh. Just banging on the backbeat white boy rock. Look to Keef for diversity. And as much as I revere Keef, I love Charlie Watts even more. Charlie famously gave the Stones an outside life of no more than 2.5 years. Now, 60 years later .... and he still prefers jazz. I'm pretty certain Freddie Mercury classifies as Caucasian. I could be wrong but I'd bet a small sum. I miss Freddie. That, for me, was the day the music died no matter what Don McLean says. Don't mind me - I'm in my cups. Been watching football all day long. All day looooong.
