      - there was an Elton song in there? -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 12:36 3
        
        #37 -- nm - David May 1, 12:37
        
        37. rocket man -- nm - b. May 1, 12:37 1
        
        ooooo - I love that one - hmmmm - nope, still going with Strangle hold - Epiphany May 1, 12:38

Why the hell is Baba O Reilly in the top 100? -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 12:25 11
- It's one of their best songs. My question is Why in the Hell is "Don't Stop Believin" in the list at all - amoxy May 1, 12:29 4
  - Right or wrong, it's become one of the most seminal rock songs ever made. - David May 1, 12:31 1
    - It's become a song for the "woo girls" -- nm - con_carne May 1, 12:35
  - Seperate Ways was bigger here. Everybody Wants Some is big in the deep south. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 12:30
  - "There has to be a Journey song we haven't done yet" -- nm - oblique May 1, 12:29
- Uh, because it belongs to be there but more like in the top 5. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 12:29
- you're too young, you never got wasted -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 12:28 4
  - I've never done the latter, but it is an awesome/cathartic singalong song. (b. trivia! ahead) - b. May 1, 12:32 3
    - I dunno, I prefer Eminence Front -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 12:44 2
      - But that would be like them picking the song Domino for Kiss. - Iron Spawn May 1, 12:55
      - That song is dooope -- nm - con_carne May 1, 12:47
Going by which one I would choose to listen to most frequently, it's a toss up between Jack & Diane and Sweet Child O' Mine - oblique May 1, 12:24
I think maybe The Joker. -- nm - Don Homer May 1, 12:24
of those.. some of the comparisons are odd. maybe baba o'riley or imagine? -- nm - b. May 1, 12:22
�Rock You Like a Hurricane� for sure. -- nm - colin May 1, 12:22
Born to Run -- nm - CQ May 1, 12:22 1
