As I was sitting around the pool with my father in-law this weekend we were listening to the Top 500 Rock and Roll songs according to 106.9 The Fox in Virginia Beach. Their list is completely bogus. When I heard Joe Walsh’s life’s been good at #232 I was immediately suspicious and after listening for a few hundred more songs I KNEW the list was terrible.

After not being there to hear the top 10, I looked up the list and here is there top 10.
10 Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones
9 Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
8 Strawberry Fields Forever - Beatles
7 Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
6 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
5 Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
4 Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
3 Hotel California - Eagles
2 Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
1 Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

I nearly barfed when I saw that so I had to come up with my own top 10.

Here’s the real top 10.

10. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
9. Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
8. Rock and Roll - Led Zeppelin
7. Hotel California - The Eagles
6. Won’t Get Fooled Again - The Who
5. Light My Fire - The Doors
4. Imagine - John Lennon
3. Layla - Derek and the Dominos
2. Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
1. Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

In the words of PTI host Tony Kornheiser “Thats it. Thats the List.”

*Ps - I had to go all the way to 25 before I had my first Skynyrd song….
