The Top 3333 Most Essential Classic Rock Songs Of All Time ... The Bullet Point Tracks

This countdown was designed to run at various lengths depending on what different Classic Rock Radio Stations across the country felt their market would support.

This weekend's countdown encompassed The Top 50 Tracks ...

But it could just as easily been The Top 100 ... or Top 200 ... or Top 500 ... or Top 1000 ... or Top 2000 or Top 2500 ... or Top 3000!  (A radio station would have to be pretty bold air the entire TOP 3333 ... but we're still hoping that this could happen on some Internet Station somewhere looking to lock up their audience for a month or so!)

Anyway, here are where some of these OTHER Key Tracks fell in the countdown ...

#100 - ONE OF THESE NIGHTS by The Eagles

 

#200 - SLEDGEHAMMER - Peter Gabriel

 

#500 - EVERYDAY PEOPLE by Sly and the Family Stone

 

#1000 - CUM ON FEEL THE NOISE - Quiet Riot




#2000 - CALLING DR. LOVE by Kiss

 

#2500 - DON'T BRING ME DOWN - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

 
#3000 - BOYS by The Beatles 

 

It's all countdown from this point forward ...

Watch for brand new postings at 9 am, Noon, 3 pm, 6 pm and 9 pm as we complete The Top 15 Most Essential Classic Rock Songs as determined by your votes!

For All Of You Still Out There Rockin' At Midnight ...

... Here are a few more "extras" to keep you goin'!!!

What are we doing???

Why we're Rockin' at Midnight, of course!   (#1648)

 

And now that we've made it past The Midnight Hour (by the way, that Wilson Pickett classic finished at #2060), we're Living After Midnight!  (#905)

 
Remember when The Doobie Brothers were ALL over Classic Rock Radio?  Songs like "Long Train Runnin'" and "China Grove" used to make our over-played list all the time ... and "Listen To The Music" wasn't far behind them.

But the tide has turned since then ... 

And while The Doobies still managed to rank 17 songs in The Top 3000 (and will even gain entry into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this year ... assuming, of course, that they're ever allowed to induct them!), those Top Three titles now rank in reverse order at #'s 197, 178 and 149 ... all still VERY respectable showings within The Top 200.

But we're saluting Midnight Songs this hour ... and they don't get much better than this one ... 

"South City Midnight Lady" (from their "Captain And Me" album) ...

It comes in at #1293. 
 

The Rolling Stones placed 40 songs in our Top 3333 Countdown ... 

And this one came in at #1194. 
 

I've never gotten tired of .38 Special's hits "Hold On Loosely" and "Caught Up In You" ... (#155 and #184) ... 

And we hear one or the other ... or both ... nearly every single day ...

But they recorded a few other songs worthy of some airplay, too ... 

Like THIS one ... "Rockin' Into The Night" ... one of their SIX chart hits co-written by our FH Buddy Jim Peterik.  (In fact, his old band Survivor actually recorded this one first!)  It came in at #1134.
