<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And remember ... you can always scroll back to hear any segments that you may have missed along the way.

The Bullet Point Tracks<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">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.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This weekend's countdown encompassed The Top 50 Tracks ...</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">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!)</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyway, here are where some of these OTHER Key Tracks fell in the countdown ...</span></span></span><br />

Here are a few more "extras" to keep you goin'!!!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">What are we doing???</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Why we're Rockin' at Midnight, of course! (#1648)</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> </span></span></span><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" msallowfullscreen="" src="https://app.box.com/embed/s/ldnuqmkj73r9owukmtt5yibc7k1itt6n?sortColumn=date&view=list" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">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)</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" msallowfullscreen="" src="https://app.box.com/embed/s/o0b0r70yevi9sotxy0070lhtsn7lludx?sortColumn=date&view=list" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">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.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">But the tide has turned since then ... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">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.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">But we're saluting Midnight Songs this hour ... and they don't get much better than this one ... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">"South City Midnight Lady" (from their "Captain And Me" album) ...</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">It comes in at #1293. </span></span></span> <br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" msallowfullscreen="" src="https://app.box.com/embed/s/vtez8ecjr2hcomprvw501ulrrlrmucd9?sortColumn=date&view=list" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">The Rolling Stones placed 40 songs in our Top 3333 Countdown ... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">And this one came in at #1194. </span></span></span> <br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" msallowfullscreen="" src="https://app.box.com/embed/s/tjladjvaai134fci577d7we6ako6uyt8?sortColumn=date&view=list" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I've never gotten tired of .38 Special's hits "Hold On Loosely" and "Caught Up In You" ... (#155 and #184) ... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And we hear one or the other ... or both ... nearly every single day ...</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But they recorded a few other songs worthy of some airplay, too ... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">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.</span></span></span> <br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Classic Rock Fans LOVE these songs ... and they want to hear them once in awhile ... simple as that.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You are doing your listeners a complete disservice by ignoring these tunes.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">First up ...</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">"Sounds Of Silence" by Disturbed ... one of the most powerful performances I have ever heard in my life. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This was never one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel tunes, even 'tho it was the one that launched their career.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But THIS rendition chills me to the bone ... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">It attacks my very soul ... every time I hear it.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="654" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u9Dg-g7t2l4" width="745"></iframe>
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But without a doubt it was "Stealin'" by Uriah Heep that garnered the most favorable response.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Traffic had nine songs make our Top 3333 List ... everything from "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys" to the instrumental "Glad" and the original version of "Feeling Alright."</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Giving us distinguished players like Steve Winwood, Dave Mason and Jim Capaldi, you'd think they'd be held in a little higher regard all these years later.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Two tracks that USED to get a fair amount of airplay that you just don't hear anymore would have to be "Rock And Roll Stew" and "Light Up Or Leave Me Alone," both coming from the "Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys" album from 1972.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here's our small effort to change that. ("Rock And Roll Stew" placed at #2280 on our final list ... while "Light Up Or Leave Me Alone" came in at #2924.)</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">We threw in a couple of others for good measure as well. (kk)</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> #2620 - Gotta Serve Somebody - Bob Dylan

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">#2315 - Medicine Jar by Paul McCartney and Wings
</span></span></span><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" msallowfullscreen="" src="https://app.box.com/embed/s/vvmnxhtb4cuycvgx8jwu2xznudephe2f?sortColumn=date&view=list" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When we first featured this one as part of the countdown we received a few emails from readers perplexed by this track ...
"That sure doesn't sound like Paul McCartney to me!" was the most common response.
That's because this track came off of the Wings "Venus And Mars" album ... and was spear-headed by Guitarist Jimmy McCullough (who, ironically, would die of a drug overdose a few years later.)
McCartney placed 41 songs on The Top 3333 Countdown as a solo artist ...
In addition to the 140 he placed there with The Beatles ...
Making him, by far, the most prolific (and popular) Classic Rock Artist of All Time.
But this one rocks like no other McCartney tune ...
And it was a BLAST watching Wings perform this in concert while Jimmy was still in the band. (His other LP track, "Wino Junko" from the "Wings At The Speed Of Sound" album, also garnered a few votes ... but not enough to make the final cut. (You heard Macca's highest charting solo hit earlier in the countdown ... "Live And Let Die" came in at #40 in your Top 3333 All Time Favorites.)</span></span></span>Kent Kotalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16397268225035934856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1631478557310570206.post-42199138870589591822020-05-23T00:00:00.000-05:002020-05-23T00:00:05.597-05:00A Few Extras To Get You Thru The Night (and the Wee Hours of the Morning)<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">3333 Songs made the final list, jarring the memories of even the most dedicated Classic Rock Fans out there.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Why does Classic Rock Radio insist on playing the same 200-300 songs over and over again when there are SO many other GREAT songs that they could be slipping in every once in a while?</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Our countdown offers proof that the REAL music fans want to hear them ... which is why they're on this list.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">How about an occasional spin for one of these???</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Pretenders came in at #3305 with this one ...</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">"Thin Line Between Love And Hate" </span></span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And how about "To Dream The Dream" by Frankie Miller, sounding a whole lot like Bob Seger on this one! (It came in right at #3300)</span></span></span> <br />

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And then there's this long lost classic by The Charlie Daniels Band ... "The Legend Of Wooley Swamp" (#3154)</span></span></span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">If you're anything like me, you're probably wondering which songs JUST MISSED making this weekend's countdown.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Well, #51 belongs to Bob Seger and "Night Moves," followed by "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen (#52), "Already Gone" by The Eagles (#53) and then two songs by The Rolling Stones, "Jumping Jack Flash" at #54 and "Paint It, Black" at #55.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">The Stones have EIGHT songs in The Top 55 (and these aren't the only two that finished back-to-back) ... far more than ANY other act, including The Beatles (who have five), Queen and The Eagles (who each have four) and Led Zeppelin (who have three.)</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">But our countdown goes a WHOLE lot deeper than just The Top 55 ... </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Of course your Top 50 Favorites will represent the Classic Rock Songs you currently hear most often on Classic Rock Radio ...</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The countdown will be posted in chapters, beginning TODAY, Friday, May 22nd, at 3 pm ... and will continue on thru 9 pm Monday Night, May 25th, where the top songs will be revealed.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Along the way, we'll also be posting some of the "extras" that also made the list ... because let's face it, The Top 50 are the tracks you hear all day, everyday anyway ... so why not mix in some of the lesser-heard tracks that Classic Rock Fans love to hear just as much to even out the mix. (Oh my God, what a GREAT programming idea!!! Too bad nobody else out there seems to have come up with it!!!)</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Anyway, please join us when you can ... new postings will pop up throughout the day Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday at intervals of about three hours or so ... and all will remain posted so you can always scroll back to catch any part of the countdown you may have missed.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Tell a friend ... if you know people who love Classic Rock, then they'll want to hear The Cream Of The Crop, counted down by WRCO's Phil Nee THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND ...</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">EXCLUSIVELY here on the Classic Rock Essentials website!</span></span></span><br />
