Bored with Top 100 Classic Rock Songs lists that are dominated by the same handful of artists? We put a twist on that: You'll still find all of the expected legends on the below list, from Aerosmith to ZZ Top, but each artist gets only one song each.
Think of it as a high-stakes game, as everybody puts his best hand on the table.
We've already anticipated the questions: "Was the right song chosen to represent each artist or band?" "Was that song slotted in its proper place?"
Of course, this means that all but one song from even the most legendary artists won't be represented here. Even after allowing 100 different artists onto the list, there were still dozens of "How can so-and-so not be included?" arguments that surfaced as we pulled this all together.
So, yeah, this wasn't easy.
The below list of the Top 100 Classic Rock Songs may start a lot of fights (it did around here at the UCR office), but it's also the start of one hell of a playlist.
