By request - A classic rock list - 25 songs - I accepted a challenge - a one page blog...

• The White Stripes - "Seven Nation Army"
• Jefferson Airplane - "White Rabbit"
• Cream - "White Room"
• Jimi Hendrix - "Purple Haze"
• The Eagles - "Hotel California"
• Steppenwolf - "Magic Carpet Ride"
• 10cc "I'm not in love"
• Heart - "Barracuda"
• The Beatles - "Love me do"
• The Rolling Stones - "Satisfaction"
• Dan Fogelberg - "Same Old Lang Syne"
• America - "I need you"
• Foreigner - "Waiting for a girl like you"
• Ted Nugent - "Stranglehold"
• Wham - "Everything she wants"
• Michael Jackson - "Billie Jean"
• Ambrosia - "That's how much I feel"
• Pink Floyd - "Us and them"
• ZZ Top - "Tush"
• Pat Benatar - "Love is a battlefield"
• Fleetwood Mac - "Landslide"
• SuperTramp - "The logical song"
• Elton John - "Your song"
• Van Halen - "Ain't talkin' bout love"
• Queen - "You take my breath away"

Ok... so, I couldn't make 20 songs... and, I thought of going to 50... because I've left so many out... but, I ended up sticking with 25... now... some of these may not be a group's greatest song, but, it represents the classic nature of what I think it should be... for instance... my fav Queen song of all time is represented in this list... not their most popular song... because, they have 25 songs that by themselves could qualify as classic... and, of course so do some of the other bands represented here...

It pains me to leave out (AC/DC; Blue Oyster Cult; Rush; Steely Dan; The Bee Gees; Jim Croce; Janis Ian; Joni Mitchell; Iron Butterfly; The Weeknd; Grand Funk Railroad; The Moody Blues; BTO; Billy Joel; Led Zeppelin; Three Night; CCR, and others)...

I hope that I don't burn in hell for these omissions... just sayin'...

but, I stand by this list this week!!!

This was very difficult for me to do...

Very well done. Applaud. Applaud. I'm not a music person such as you and don't think I could come up with my top song names and artists. I just know when I here a song if I like it or not. Good job, challenge completed.

Great list!
Virtually impossible to whittle your choices down without having to leave out many great ones.
Always knew however that you would accept and rise to any challenge given to you by one of your blog admirers!

Hi 2tt...

thanks for the challenge.

That was fun and tough at the same time...

I kept thinking what is the best song...

what is the best band...

could I include two or more songs from one group...

what if left some out (hence the extension to 25 which could have been 100 easy... )...

and, we hadn't discussed too many parameters... so, it was wide open...

I'm the guy who asks people what group is playing when I hear a song on the radio or in a movie or a television commercial...

it drives some people crazy...

I have an app on my phone now "Soundhound" that let's me listen to any song... and, it tells me who the artist is... mostly for new bands and songs...

I'm glad that you liked the list...

thanks again...

have a great day!

Hi Joy...

thanks for your comments...

yes, some of your favs are included in this list...

I did not forget AC/DC.. I just didn't have room for all of them...

there were others missing too... but, that's how the cookie crumbles...

have a great Monday!!!

Hello sexyldy1000.

thanks for commenting on this song list...

It was impossible to narrow down my selection... I even went over 5 because I was torn with the list...

I like challenges that make sense...

plus, it helps when my readers have acquiesced to challenges I've put out there...

It is fun... and, it let's you see another side of an individual...

thanks again..

have fun...

Nice theme here. Since I don't know you well enough, there won't be 30 lashes with a wet noodle for leaving out ac/dc

Hi sweet_VM.

thanks for visiting and commenting on this classic rock list...

I may have to issue some challenges of my own... as it has been awhile since I've done that... and, of course the bloggers that I've challenged have always come thru in flying colors...

I mean... I guess I could challenge some here with posting their top 10 songs from their fav band... I don't think that that would be too hard do you?

It's interesting that some readers have appreciated the variety of musicians and songs that I have posted this past week... I hope that I haven't exhausted too many of my songs... as you know I like to post song lyrics to blogs that have read...

I'll just have to find more... I'm currently working on my October song list... I may post my August song list... hmm... I haven't used too many of those lyrics on posts yet... so I'm a bit hesitant...

thanks again for your post...

have a great week!!!

Hi zandigal...

thanks for your visit and comments on this classic rock list.

Thank god... I'm missing the 30 lashes with a wet noodle... wait a minute... that might not be a bad thing... it's all good.

I did leave out quite a few... but, in the end... the question is... did it qualify... and the issuer of the challenge was quite pleased... so, tyvm... it made it...

thanks again for commenting...

have a great week...

Hi Joy...

You know that I can rock out...

Often times, I'm the one who finishes your song lyrics from what you post on your status...

But, I do continue to look for those new gems...

Have a great Tuesday!
