We are proud to reveal the final results ... and hope that you will share them with classic rock fans all over the country. And please ... as you rediscover songs you haven't heard played on the radio in DECADES ... contact your favorite classic rock radio stations (terrestrial or internet) and request that this music be played ... and given its due.
(And, for all the deejays reading this list, here's hoping you find some new ideas that'll make YOUR life a little more interesting, too!)
And now ... here are ... in order ...
THE TOP 3333 MOST ESSENTIAL
CLASSIC ROCK SONGS OF ALL TIME!
#3333 - CANNONBALL - Supertramp
#3332 - WALKING ON A THIN LINE - Huey Lewis and the News
#3331 - TIME - Hootie and the Blowfish
#3330 - DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT TILL IT'S GONE - Cinderella
When a countdown THIS large starts off THIS strong, you gain a sense of just how powerful this list really is. (Keep in mind, we're starting at the BOTTOM of the heap!)
A total of 4750 total song titles were nominated ... and these are The Best of the Best.
(Of course, whenever I see a countdown like this, I always want to know "So what came in at #3334???"
But if I told you that, then you'll likely want to know "What came in at #3335???")
Uh-uh ... we're not going down THAT road!!! (This is already going to take damn near forever to count down as it is!!! lol)
But for inquiring minds like mine, I will tell you that #3334 was MERCURY BLUES by The Steve Miller Band ... and #3335 was KING MIDAS IN REVERSE by The Hollies. But THAT'S IT ... no more reveals ... other than THE TOP 3333!
