Sirius Xm playing the top 1000 rock & roll songs on channel 30
They've gone through the list at least three times, I think, but not sure how long they'll keep it up. I enjoy it while
I'm driving.Cool as a rule, but sometimes bad is bad.

Thanks, badrose. I may listen to that tomorrow while in the car some, if I get tired of (or if my wife gets tired of) listening to ballgames. We have 6 hours of driving tomorrow on the road, so that's handy to know.

Not sure. I have it paused on my computer at home. I think #1 is a Beatles song.

Controversial, slow and beautiful, acoustic and woodwinds, hard and fast, both mellow vocals and all out vocal wailing, all tied together by one of the greatest electric guitar solos of all time. So good in fact, imo the venerable Jimmy Page was never the same player afterwards.
Very hard to put anything above it.

Stairway to Heaven got the top spot. Good call, Kingcat! So much of my listening was spotty. I was curious where Bohemian Rhapsody fell.
BTW they've been playing these songs continuously about 3 or 4 days now. I hasn't gotten old yet.Cool as a rule, but sometimes bad is bad.

I found a discussion on line...Bohemian Rhapsody is #16. A little low IMO.

Tuesday's Gone made the list but further down. I probably would have had it much higher.

Re: Sirius Xm playing the top 1000 rock & roll songs on channel 30
I would have Proud Mary way up there too. Along with a couple other CCR songs.

Re: Sirius Xm playing the top 1000 rock & roll songs on channel 30
I'd probably go with CCR but I liked the Turner's version as well.
They're still running the Sirius XM countdown if anyone is still interested. I'd be satisfied if they just continued running the loop and leave it. Hard to get bored with it being 1000 songs.Cool as a rule, but sometimes bad is bad.

Here's one guy's breakdown in the Stairway to Heaven vs. Bohemian Rhapsody comparisons.

Re: Sirius Xm playing the top 1000 rock & roll songs on channel 30
With CCR, their songs were enduring while of the big hits of the day, many faded. I remember an ongoing argument I had over who was the better band in the early seventies, CCR or Grand Funk. At the time Funk was considered way above Credence by "rockers"and did have two number one hits. CCR was considered bubble gum by the hard rock crowd that was coming up. Alice Cooper, Sabbath, and stuff like that played a huge role in the type of music which charted. A lot of great music went under appreciated until years later.
CCR on the other had had two number one albums in the USA, Green River and Cosmo's Factory, and a number one single in the UK, Bad Moon Rising
I think that fifty years from now CCR will be considered an iconic band while Funk will be pretty much forgotten, which was exactly my argument back then. I consider Fogerty himself one of the top ten rock artists in all of history..and possibly top five.
And I believe that even today if many of those CCR songs were first released, they would still be major hits. That cant be said of most music.
Usually with many of their popular songs people still recognize them as soon as the first note or beat sounds....a true measure of their real impact over time.
Inn 69 Proud Mary went to #2 and was the first of five singles to peak at #2 for Credence
For example, in 1969 Sugar Sugar by the Archies was the top charting song of the year and Aquarius number two. The rockers that followed always considered Credence music similar to those songs and in the "not cool" catagory.Last edited by kingcat; 03-18-2019 at 09:22 PM.

Let's not forget The Allman Brothers. Loved the instrumental, Jessica. It was on the Brothers and Sisters album.
