I’ve found a few cool videos on YouTube over the last month or so.
This video is of an animal called the Lyre Bird. This bird has an incredible knack for impersonations. A must see.
This next video is an acoustic cover of Outkast’s “Hey Ya”. You might think an acoustic version of a hip-hop song wouldn’t work. Think again.
Have lung, will hack.
So KQRS, a classic rock radio station here in the Twin Cities, had their annual Memorial Day countdown of the top 500 songs of all time. Let’s just say the list was a joke. There were a few songs I agreed with, but to say that Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” isn’t in the top 100 is blasphemous!! Some top 10 songs that shouldn’t have been in there -Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “Let It Ride” (maybe in the CANADIAN top 10), Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” (it’s really his best song? No way) – great songs they both are but c’mon, top 10??? Call me when you have a REAL top 10.
Ok, so here a few songs I can think of that are top 10 worthy, but there are others:
The Beatles – “A Day in the Life”
Rolling Stones – “Satisfaction”
Lynyrd Skynrd – “Free Bird”
Led Zeppelin – “Stairway to Heaven” (Should be #1)
Bruce Springsteen – “Born to Run”
Bob Dylan – “Like a Rolling Stone”
The Who – “My Generation”
The Eagles – “Hotel California” (at least Top 20)
Aerosmith – “Dream On”
Partridge Family – “I Think I Love You” (OK, just seeing if you’re paying attention)
Queen – “Bohemian Rhapsody”
Pink Floyd – “Comfortably Numb”
Derek & The Dominoes – “Layla”
Eric Clapton – “Cocaine”
Honorable Mentions:
The Who – “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, “Baba O’Riley”
The Beatles – “Come Together”, “Hey Jude”
Aerosmith – “Sweet Emotion”
ZZ Top – “Cheap Sunglasses”
CSNY – “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”
Dire Straits – “Sultans of Swing”
Fleetwood Mac – “Go Your Own Way”
Rod Stewart – “Maggie May”
Stevie Wonder – “Superstition”
The Doors – “Break On Through (To The Other Side)”
Rolling Stones – “Sympathy For The Devil”
Lyric of the Day: “Remember when I was so strange and likeable?” – “Back In Your Head”, Tegan and Sara

Alright, just to clarify, it is the "Memorial Day 700 song countdown" not the "Memorial Day countdown of the top 500 songs of all time." If you are going to complain about something at least know what you are complaining about. The countdown consists of the most requested songs in the past 12 months, not the best of all time.
As for the songs you have requested for the top ten, they are already played enough so people do not need to request them.
My advice to you is to know a little bit more about what you are talking before you voice your opinion.
Interesting. If that's the case I stand corrected. However, I still can't believe of all the songs to request that "Let It Ride" would have been in the top 10.
And for the record (no pun intended), you could have politely pointed out the misunderstanding and not taken the tone you did.
Please feel free to stop by again sometime.
