The RJ 1000: The top 1000 rock classics of all time Discussion Thread

[Pauly]

Where's the line on "rock"? I was surprised to see a Johnny Cash pick (no knock on Cash....I just don't consider that music "rock".

I started to pick a Monkees song today in honor of the one year ago passing of Peter Tork but wasn't sure the Monkees counted.

Does Disco? Motown?

It's a thin and blurry line for sure. I thought Folsom was the most rock & roll-sounding Cash song to me. Plus it rocks.

Chance with the nice snag on Smoke!

Yeah, I keep forgetting that Gregg will snap up tunes like Badge if I leave them out there.

BTW, Ms. Lucky has opined again. She can't believe the guy who posted the Uriah Heep would come back with Breakfast at Tiffany's. She's just saying.

I'm on tilt now.

Fun afternoon listening to everyone's great picks.

Ha, which one doesn't she like? I think the outlier is Breakfast. I remember when it came out I thought it a bad year for music and was very surprised how much I liked it. Still do.

Fun to get our honeys involved. Mrs. Gregg and I have very similar tastes except when we don't then it is "who is this person?"

Though once one song is picked you can never go back again ... there might even be a chain reaction or something

I have no idea what you are doing, but don't stop

Was planning on taking "Sunshine of Your Love" as my first pick when I jumped in late. When I realized it was taken pretty early i thought about taking "Badge" instead. Hell of a tune.

Badge is indeed a fantastic tune.

Another Grateful Dead fan, I'm shocked!

Almost went with a song of theirs with one of my recent picks but the shellshock from the crap i got for picking American Beauty in the album draft haunted me

[Mithrandir]

Was listening to "English Rose" a couple of weeks back ...

I always liked the "Then Play On" album.

You're right, but sometimes you just have to go your own way. If we put up a poll on whether they'd show up more, the over would win in a landslide.

With the typical classic rock love-in on RJ drafts, early Fleetwood Mac always seem to get overlooked IMO.
