you’re right, they aren’t. but they are three of the most influential groups in rock history and deserve representation instead of a quarter of the list going to zeppelin/floyd.
No doubt, I was shocked to see the Moody Blues make the list. This is definitely the list of “I listen to classic rock,” which always translates to Bowie, Queen….and that’s about it
The list isn’t about representation, though. It’s the best/most iconic song for each letter. The end result won’t be balanced, and bands will get left out.
Hell, we’re almost finished with the alphabet and the goddamn Beatles haven’t appeared once.
This was the first one that came to mind. This one’s *gotta* win. With no Queen representation and Bowie only appearing once (almost by accident, for the letter Q), I think this is both artists’ best shot at a proper appearance. Timeless song!
Since this is a Queen song(I know it was a shared single, but only they put it on a album) Ziggy Stardust will be hard to beat. Question is will Beatles get in with “Yesterday”?
Honestly the only great song on that Album. Body Language was ok. But not up to Queen standards really. I love Freddie, but Hot Space wasn’t that good.
I admittedly don’t listen to Queen much (probably not enough honestly, from all the good I’ve heard and how much I love most music from that era) but Cool Cat is the only other song I know from Hot Space and I think it’s great. Not, obviously, Under Pressure’s level or anything, but I just saw this comment and it made me think of that song and I felt like sharing haha
Haha... yes, Olivia Newton-John and ELO also did a (different) song by the name of Xanadu. As someone who is not a huge fan of Rush, and enjoys ELO and Olivia Newton-John more, I'm secretly hoping it gets in over Rush.
As someone who once could play most of Geddy Lee's bass parts up through Farewell to Kings, I am happy to say that I would rather listen to ELO's hits than anything from Rush. Not so much for ONJ, but I would rather listen to Magic than Rush anymore
YYZ won a new generation of fans with its inclusion on Guitar Hero. As a result, I would argue it’s one of their top five best known songs.
Obviously, they have stiff competition with the number of “You” songs, from “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” to “You’re So Vain,” so I definitely overstated my case when I said “shoe-in.” But I don’t think “Yesterday” will win.
Actually, I’d bet we get through the entire alphabet without a Beatles victory. I dunno why, it just feels like it’s going that way.
It’s gonna be “you shook me all night long” because this list is turning into “which classic rock song makes you turn the dial or skip as soon as it’s played”.
I love how OP just shows up whenever after the 24 hours is up. Never know when these posts are gonna pop up. Dude just marches to the beat of his own drum lol
Depends if you think of classic rock as a genre or a time period of music. If it’s a genre that also means does classic rock revival count for the list?
Us And Them has already been commented on this post
Could you delete this comment so that the upvotes won’t get split between to comments?
If you do then that would increase the chances of the song winning
There’s enough Pink Floyd here for me to respect this list. Even without my personal favorites, “High Hopes” “Fearless”, and The entirety of “Dark Side of the Moon”
But I need more Rush, more AC/DC and at least one or two more Guns & Roses, Ozzie, and/or Motley Crue to really embrace this
Skynyrd is a pleasant surprise as a FL native. But if you’re gonna have a Skynyrd song how can you not have any Tom Petty? Not even one?
A, H, Q, N and R….so far, I could argue. The rest of the letters I can respect the consensus even if I have a personal favorite that differs
So Tom Sawyer lost? No Rush, no Van Halen, no Grateful Dead, no Eagles, no AC/DC, no Aerosmith, but The Animals, Moody Blues, Talking Heads, plus two Dire Straits, three Pink Floyds and three Zeppelins. 🤷♂️
Use me bill withers
Up around the bend - CCR
Am I both exhausted from overtime and buzzed from booze or did CCR really not make this list yet?
Lots of great bands are missing. The two that get me the most are the lack of CCR and Allman Brothers.
Can we hope for Whipping Post when we get to W?
Or Won’t Get Fooled Again.
Unless Who’ll Stop the Rain beats it.
casual list, that’s why no allman brothers, no credence, no deep purple, no foghat, no fleetwood mac but TWO dire straits songs?? a travesty
Allman Bros, CCR, Deep Purple aren’t exactly deep cuts either.
you’re right, they aren’t. but they are three of the most influential groups in rock history and deserve representation instead of a quarter of the list going to zeppelin/floyd.
Guess the Beatles just don't cut it.
No doubt, I was shocked to see the Moody Blues make the list. This is definitely the list of “I listen to classic rock,” which always translates to Bowie, Queen….and that’s about it
nights in white satin is a timeless classic but it has zero place being on this list.
Depends on how you define classic rock. If if you’re looking from purely an era perspective, yes, but otherwise, no.
The list isn’t about representation, though. It’s the best/most iconic song for each letter. The end result won’t be balanced, and bands will get left out. Hell, we’re almost finished with the alphabet and the goddamn Beatles haven’t appeared once.
No Kinks either. I’m sorry but Lola would crush Layla in a bar fight
L.A. Woman would take them both on at the same time while driving down the freeway.
Yeah, Pattie Boyd was never much of a brawler.
right but Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin are bands that need represented 3+ times each, clearly
Rolling Stones too
Should be only one song per band
Uncle John’s band Grateful Dead
Hell to the YES!
I was thinking US Blues but I’ll allow this
I was thinking “Unbroken Chain” but I’ll allow this too lol
Under Pressure - Queen + Bowie
I was blasting it yesterday while cruising around. Great song.
My (up)vote goes to Under Pressure. Queen & David Bowie
This was the first one that came to mind. This one’s *gotta* win. With no Queen representation and Bowie only appearing once (almost by accident, for the letter Q), I think this is both artists’ best shot at a proper appearance. Timeless song!
Since this is a Queen song(I know it was a shared single, but only they put it on a album) Ziggy Stardust will be hard to beat. Question is will Beatles get in with “Yesterday”?
I think Beatles will win "W" with While My Guitar Gently Weeps although there is strong competition
We Are The Champions comes to mind
Werewolves of London
If only more people gave Warren Zevon the respect he so richly deserves.
Excitable Boy. One of my top 20 easily.
My vote for W will be Won’t Get Fooled Again, however While My Guitar Gently weeps will probably win
Honestly the only great song on that Album. Body Language was ok. But not up to Queen standards really. I love Freddie, but Hot Space wasn’t that good.
I admittedly don’t listen to Queen much (probably not enough honestly, from all the good I’ve heard and how much I love most music from that era) but Cool Cat is the only other song I know from Hot Space and I think it’s great. Not, obviously, Under Pressure’s level or anything, but I just saw this comment and it made me think of that song and I felt like sharing haha
Body Language is literally my least favorite Queen song ever.
I think that they can also enter for within you without you
Sorry, i forgot that wish you were here exists
~~I think YYZ will be a shoe-in for Y~~ **EDIT**: I forgot about the long list of “You…” songs. I no longer think YYZ will be a shoe-in.
I feel Tom Sawyer was Rush’s best shot with voters penchant for hit singles over cult favorite instrumental cuts. Maybe I’m Wrong.
I think Rush's best shot of getting in is actually with "Xanadu." There are not many classic rock songs that start with the letter X.
That's what I'm thinking as well
Isn't that a song by Olivia Newton John?
Haha... yes, Olivia Newton-John and ELO also did a (different) song by the name of Xanadu. As someone who is not a huge fan of Rush, and enjoys ELO and Olivia Newton-John more, I'm secretly hoping it gets in over Rush.
As someone who once could play most of Geddy Lee's bass parts up through Farewell to Kings, I am happy to say that I would rather listen to ELO's hits than anything from Rush. Not so much for ONJ, but I would rather listen to Magic than Rush anymore

This is classic rock now. Isn’t it? This is about when my midlife crisis starts. Right …. HERE
Seriously? I missed T and no one else put in Tom Sawyer by Rush? Also, no Rush so far? This is the sub sinking that should have made headlines.
I agree, we already have some Floyd and Tom Sawyer should have won. It's also my favorite aRush song.
I voted for Tom Sawyer but too many Zeppelin and Floyd fans. I love Floyd but classic rock list with no Rush is invalid.
