[edit] Top 10 Classic Rock Songs

X

I'm interested in taking part, but I'm not really sure what counts as classic rock. Some authorities seem to think it's just stuff from 60s and early 70s, others include contemporary artists. Also, should I aim to list stuff I think of as perfect songs, but am sick of, or weaker stuff that I actually still like to listen to? For example, I think Wuthering Heights is one of the best songs ever written, but I've not listened to it for years. On the other hand, I play the Gorillaz song Dare all the time, but I'd hardly describe it as one of the best songs ever written. So, am I aiming for stuff I actually like, or stuff I just think other people should like? Either way, a top ten is a bit tough. Magicalsushi 15:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

• Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
• Bring It On Home - Led Zeppelin
• Gimme Shelter - The Rolling Stones
• White Room - Cream
• Cowgirl in the Sand - Neil Young

• Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - Crosby, Stills, and Nash

I just want to note that I don't consider any bands or songs from the 80s and 90s (Like Guns 'n' Roses, Soundgarden, or Pearl Jam) classic rock yet, because those bands peaked when I was in high school and I don't consider myself so old that my music is now "classic".

(I watch where I start so you can reply here)... Do you take everyone's entire list? I did a spot check and at least 2 of my songs (#9 Into Temptation - Crowded House and #10 La Pistola y el Corazón - Los Lobos) aren't on the giant overall list. Not that it matters really, it's all in fun. Thanks for doing this, neat idea. ++Lar: t/c 05:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

My personal feel was that those two songs were not true classic rock. If you have strong feelings that they are however, I'd be happy to put them in. RENTA^{FOR LET?} 06:06, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's your list! Your call! But in my view they are, at least as much as "Ring of Fire", "Love Will Tear Us Apart", or "Scarborough Fair" are... That said, your list, your call, no worries! ++Lar: t/c 06:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for your work creating the footnotes, and I hope you saw the discussion and explanation for going back to the "Harvard style" references on the talk page of the FAC page. It seems the guy from the peer review who wanted footnotes was outnumbered and it really made everything else more complicated to do it right. Still, it's a good thing to know how to do for future reference. Thanks again. Kafziel 08:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Renta! Just wanted to know the status of your WP:MIND questions. In case you're really lost, you can follow this simple hints:

1-Do you know a riddle you like very much? Adapt it to the context of yor article and create a question on it.

2-Redundant questions are always a good way to improve your count. Ask about something interesting or controversial in your article.

3-You can modify your article to put a code in it, then ask what is the meaning of the code you put there (of course, it will be hidden).

Fetofs ^Hello! 13:07, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Rent, it looks great to me! What bothers it about you—can you give me an example of a list you want it to look like? Is it because you're using a table instead of a bulleted list? If so, I agree with using the table format. I can't think of anything to add, although I am not very familiar with Hitchcock's work. I added a link to it from Alfred Hitchcock. Good to see you've been keeping busy. — Knowledge Seeker দ 21:56, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I think it's also a good list. Thank you! I wonder if you could just keep an eye on disambiguation. There's a few you've done already (though they point to movie, instead of film), but you've missed a few. I would do them myself, but I've DABbed these articles so many times now, I think it's more fruitful to make sure more people know about it. Thanks again. :) The JPS 23:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

2. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones
3. You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones
4. Enter Sandman - Metallica
5. Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry (and countless others ever since)
6. Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
7. Let it be - The Beatles
8. Knockin' on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan
9. Symphony No. 3 (Eroica) - Ludwig van Beethoven (Hey, it's a classic, and it certainly rocks you with those initial beats!)
10. Light My Fire - The Doors

Many of my overall favourite bands don't make it because no single brilliant song stands out (e.g. Alan Parsons Project, Pink Floyd), or because the outstanding feature is not (only) songwriting, but performance (Queen).--Stephan Schulz 12:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] StarryEyes's top 10

Others have touched on the vagueness of the term "classic rock". The most popular conception of the term--1970's AOR--finds exactly zero entries on my list, so I wasn't sure if I should even post this. But because of the vagueness of the term, and because I do see my list yields some overlap with those of other users, I will proceed. I will take "classic rock" to mean anything recorded in the "rock and roll" idiom up to and including 1980. (A somewhat canny definition, admittedly, since I listen to hardly anything after 1980.)

1. "Teenage Kicks" - The Undertones
2. "Waterloo Sunset" - The Kinks
3. "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" - Otis Redding
4. "The Tracks of My Tears" - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
5. "September Gurls" - Big Star
6. "Walk Away Renee" - The Left Banke
7. "Friday on My Mind" - The Easybeats
8. "Boy About Town" - The Jam
9. "Shangri-La" - The Kinks
10. "Starry Eyes" - The Records (seriously!)

Immediate runners-up:

• 11. "Hey Jude" - The Beatles. Or, for that matter, almost anything by The Beatles. The most influential rock group of all time and one of my personal favorites, but their discography is so maddeningly consistent that nothing really towers above the rest, hence their absence from the Top 10.
  
• 12. "Maybe Tomorrow" - The Chords (UK)
  
• 13. "Ambition" - TV21. TV21 were an incredibly obscure late '70s Scottish outfit with two indomitable punk/mod/power pop singles, this one and "Playing with Fire". I'd start the article myself but I don't even think they meet WP:MUSIC!
  
• 14. "The Kids Are Alright" - The Who. Or virtually any other Who single between 1965 and 1967.
  
• 15. "Shake Some Action" - The Flamin' Groovies
  
• 16. "The Tears of a Clown" - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
  
• 17. "Days" - The Kinks
  
• 18. "I Am the Cosmos" - Chris Bell
  
• 19. "Street Fighting Man" - The Rolling Stones
  
• 20. "Johnny B. Goode" - Chuck Berry. Or any other '50s classic by Berry, Holly, Cochran, etc. But this is much more than a token 1950's entry; this is an all-time classic even fifty years later.

• The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Fire
• The Supremes - Nathan Jones

• CCR - Fortunate Son
• Marvin Gaye - Ain't That Peculiar
• Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues (At San Quentin version)
• Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein (long version)
• The Beatles - Day Tripper

And a second 10

• The Supremes - Your Wonderful Sweet, Sweet Love
• Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - The Tears of a Clown
• The Beatles - Paperback Writer
• The Beatles - The Ballad of John and Yoko
• John Lennon - Imagine
• Dennis Coffey and his Detroit Guitar Band - Scorpio
• Ringo Starr - It Don't Come Easy
• Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman
• Rocky Burnette - Tired of Toein' The Line (1980 but it's my list!)
• Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter Issue 1 - May 2006
Project news Since the Project began on the 4th March, 14 new articles that we know of have been created - to see a list and add any we didn't know about, visit the Project Log. We've had 2 front-page appearances, with Carl Lindstrom Company and Souvenir of Their Visit to America being listed in Did You Know? We've got underway classifying our articles and building a first class Project infrastructure.	Some project tips Stick the following template {{Template:WPBeatles}} on relevant articles. We have 500+ already but may have missed some! Use British/English grammar and spelling per Policy A few moments checking other editors contributions is always appreciated. Don't be shy on using the talk pages. It's where a lot of stuff gets decided. From the Editors Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Beatles WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this newsletter will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new things to do within the project that they may wish to participate in. Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome. We would like to emphasise that this is a collaborative Project and all editors are equal - so next month the newsletter editor might be you! kingboyk, LessHeard vanU and Lar
Signpost The Project has got off to a great start but we really need your help to keep it going. Here's a few things you can do: Turn one of these links blue (let's aim to have at least half of them blue by next time) - Maureen Cleave, Dovedale Infants, The Family Way (film only - soundtrack is blue), Robert Freeman, Ken Townshend. Apple Records artists: Stephen Friedland (Brute Force), Chris Hodge, Radha Krishna Temple, Lon and Derek Van Eaton. Full list & further details. A small number of articles from the 1st batch still need to be classified (assessed). Some choice cuts remain, such as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band! Batch 2 will start soon so let's get these done! Discussion is underway about what to do with History of the Beatles. If you're feeling really bold, you might even want to make a start on it! If you create a new article related to The Beatles, whether or not it's on the above list, please follow these instructions. It's nothing heavy, it just helps us Project-structure wonks keep track of things. Finally, if you haven't yet adopted an article for improvement, please see the list here. Complete Todo List: Open tasks for WikiProject The Beatles. Edit or discuss these tasks. As the project is currently just starting, our more experienced editors are working on the project infrastructure, classifying articles, and listing/assessing red links. Your assistance is welcome. If you would prefer to just edit - and why wouldn't you? - we have a choice selection of red links to turn blue and articles to clean! Now let's get busy. Collaboration: To Expand: Geoff Emerick, Olivia Trinidad Arias, A World Without Love, MPL Communications. See also: Adopt an article To Clean up: Apple Records discography (wikify) To Merge: To Create: Maureen Cleave, The Family Way, Robert Freeman, Ken Townshend. Full list & instructions. Lists to complete: Wanted Pics/Graphics: Brian Epstein (now has a picture but would benefit from a better one), Mal Evans, Flying (song), Astrid Kirchherr, Jimmy Nicol, Cynthia Powell, The Quarrymen, Alistair Taylor, Ivan Vaughan, Tittenhurst Park. We need a better open-licenced photo for the project, to replace the Abbey Road crossing. If you provide a photo, please remove the ReqPhoto tag from the article's talk page and remove the article from this list. Policy Discussions: Individual songs vs longer album articles, Beatle wives, Merge/split proposals Project: Add {{WPBeatles}} to the talk pages of all Beatles-related articles. Send a newsletter to members, canvas for new members, and coordinate tasks. Enter articles classed as stubs into this list (under To Expand) and also list articles needing cleaning and other work here. If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log.
