That is very true. But, what are you going to do? Radio stations do that. I woudl rather listen to that list then then alot of the stuff they played on the radio these day. Dear god its garbage for the most part.

I haven't listened to the radio since maybe 1999. Especially in the morning, where they average 2 songs per hour, and 45 minutes of ridiculous immature sexual references.

 

Without a doubt this should have made that list.

Rose Tattoo - Nice Boys.

Oh and that Quiet Riot version of "Cum on Feel the Noise" can't touch the original Slade version.

RAMSTEIN is not Hard rock IMO, ok so some stuff on this list ain't hard rock either but...

Anyway the list is not so bad, not enough AC/DC lol

 

Also since AC/DC is on the list(it would be a crime against humanity if it wasn't) I expected Highway to Hell or Thunderstruck to be there but Back in Black is OK too

I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,

Get you love drunk off my hump.

My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,

My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps

 

:rofl:

 

I'd significantly reorder that list around.

 

1. Smoke on the Water

2. Kashmir

3. Inna Gadda da Vida

 

And there'd overall be alot more zeppelin and hendrix.

Some good stuff in that list, but some pretty mediocre stuff too.

 

Guess it's all based on whichever vid's they have handy, oh it's hard rock, lets play this one...

 

Only one thing is certain, and that is No.55 needs more cowbell.

These lists are always so out there. At least give us meaningful ones like based on sales or airplay or something concrete.
