I'm very disappointed in you Brenski. |
| brENsKi 27.08.2012 16:07 |
why would that be? |
| AlbaNo1 28.08.2012 12:13 |

should that situation ever arise i would probably beat myself to death with the award |

Is that a real thing? If not, it should totally be a real thing. PS, don't really care, and it's kind of unlike you brENsKi to care about a poll like this either, especially since you bashed the little kid a bit who originally posted it on here. |

this is from a worthwhile UK radio station - planet rock. the UKs only proper rock station, even has rock artists as DJs....Joe Bonamassa, Rick Wakeman, Joe Elliot, Alic Cooper, i posted it for the curious. nowhere have i said "let's vote for..." cos that's not what i am about. just think it's a ncie list, also worth looking thru it and seeing how many of us rock afficianados have how many of the list in our own collections |

You don't have to be Alfred Einstein to know that it isn't the greatest ever rock song. |

Well.. I enjoyed reading the list so thanks Brenski. It's mostly what you might expect, but where's Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits? Much better than many of the songs on that list. Hard to believe Hotel California is so low. Same goes for Rush - Tom Sawyer, which has one of the best and heaviest instrumental breaks in modern music. Of the Pink Floyd songs, Have a Cigar is better than the ones listed (which one's Pink? lol!)and Wish You Were Here should be higher. What an amazing song: to think the punks rebelled against Floyd and yet Wish You Were Here is more politically 'radical' than anything Johnny or Malcolm could come up with. Smoke on the Water is hugely over-rated song: Black Night and Fireball are much better. No Judas Priest, ELO, The Cult or Scorpions? Surely Coast to Coast deserves a spot? |

take your point about Wish You Were Here... i had a stomach op last november and the anaesthetist was really into rock music, and said i could have any tune i liked to "go under" to i chose Wish You Were Here...he did say "you won't get to hear the first line of vocals on that one" he was right i have a vague recollection of the tune starting up, and the surgical team and myself discussing it, while he ribbed the young assistant about her not even being born when the song came out...next thing i wake up on the ward brilliant tune to have copius amounts of drugs administered to |

Agree with most of the comments here. All I have to add is that Hell's Bells should be higher. I think I like that song better than any of the other AC/DC tunes on here. Oh, also, I wouldn't expect most fans of rock in general to know that much about Queen's back catalogue, but I would expect them to know that they have better songs than We Will Rock You. |

THE MORE I READ THE POSTS THE MORE I THINK PEOPLE ARE DELIBERATLY HERE TO SLAG OFF QUEEN link |

IMO It's Late is Queen's classiest hard rock song, but it's no surprise the average joe would vote for a "Greatest Hit". Rock fans might be expected to be a bit more selective. The Livekillers version of WWRY is held in high esteem by rock fans, for example. |
