@BeatleloverKT   -  Cool!  😎   Thanks for the nice recap.

 

Guess we didn't "get no" Satisfaction😖

 

Two surprises - Piano Man, Billy Joel at #20, and Born to Run, Bruce at #14. I never thought about those two going in the top 20.

 

The Beatles, The Who, The Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd were pretty much expected, it was just a matter of which songs and where they landed. I was looking for Hey Jude and Stairway to Heaven to be at are near the top, and so they are!! Yea!! I thought Stairway might be #1, but cheers! it went to Hey Jude!

 

What I'm missing on this list . . . Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf, and the aforementioned Satisfaction - The Stones. And of course, I would have voted for Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple. 

 

All in all, good list of classic rock. I think it speaks to the longevity of those songs. It doesn't hurt that most of those artists are still performing those songs, either!

All 3 of those songs you mentioned

were in the top 500. I listened for 3

days and most of the songs were

favs of mine. I was surprised at

Piano Man but Bruce always has

a song at the top. And the top song

is usually Stairway to Heaven

so Hey Jude was a nice surprise

You might know or not, but this should be interesting to any Beatle lovers. Jeff Lynne was a member of the band Traveling Wilburys that George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne formed after their hey-days with their original bands/careers. A real all-star band.

In memory of George, I decided to play his iconic album, All Things Must Pass. George was such a spiritual person, and his music reflects that spirituality. It's beautiful music. ☮️  💟
