However, I offer the following:<BR/><BR/>- While Bohemian Rhapsody is probably Queen's most famous and arguably greatest contribution to music, it takes too long to rock out. I need my rock to rock beginning to end. This would have been on a top 10 of greatest genre-crossing songs, maybe even #1.<BR/><BR/>- Popularity had nothing to do with my list, except for the Dambuilders (see below). I love Sledgehammer and Shaking the Tree, but that's more funk, not rock.<BR/><BR/>- As you may have read, The Wall is my favorite album of all time. However, this particular cut does not rock me as hard as the ones on my list. It's personal.<BR/><BR/>- Walk This Way does not rock as hard as Back in Black - come on!<BR/>I love Aerosmith, but I don't throw up the sign of the devil, stick out my tongue, and bang my head to Walk This Way.<BR/><BR/>- Louisiana would have been song #11. I didn't put it because no one would have heard of it, but you are so right.<BR/><BR/>- Money For Nothing grooves, not rocks. Best groove ever, though.<BR/><BR/>- I left The Who completely off of the list, because I've never been a big fan or expert on them, though I know that's sacrilege to your ears. I have the utmost respect, but I never fell in love with them.<BR/><BR/>- You're right that this list is tough. Thanks for your submissions. I would love to read someone else's lists, though beware of the time consumption!DavidColeman222http://www.blogger.com/profile/15832314303415940468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20826801.post-65289431047961190272008-02-19T13:30:00.000-05:002008-02-19T13:30:00.000-05:00What, no Stairway To Heaven? (HAH)Ok, some comments:<BR/><BR/>You mention Queen, but not Bohemian Rhapsody? <BR/><BR/>Does popularity kill the submission? How about Sledghammer from Peter Gabriel or Shaking the Tree?<BR/><BR/>Pink Floyd, The Wall: In The Flesh (rocks pretty hard)<BR/><BR/>If you are going to include AC/DC - how about Aerosmith Walk This Way?<BR/><BR/>For oddball songs that no one has ever heard, but was a kick#@! song, The Dambuilders, Louisiana.<BR/><BR/>Dire Straights - again highly commercial, but Money For Nothing was pretty good on the scale. (I prefer Telegraph Road - but that doesn't seem to fit on this list)<BR/><BR/>Of course, being an long time Who fan - hard to ignore Quadrophenia - Dr. Jimmy or 5:15. Or the old standby Won't Get Fooled Again. But that's not my favorite from them.<BR/><BR/>Tought to come up with a simple list. Too many choices.<BR/><BR/>Jasonjasonmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840708031793605469noreply@blogger.com
