Good list. Only one I have a complaint with is Don’t Fear the Reaper and simply because I can only envision Will Ferrell needing more cowbell when I hear it.

I’d swap in a Pink Floyd, especially if you are talking lyrical masterpieces of classic rock. Wish You Were Here is wonderful.

Agreed with the cowbell. Great list, but if you fail to include Desperado on your list of 25, you’ll be disownt.

I loved your comment about CCR having a banger after banger! It took me back to when I started buying each of their cds and loving the songs that they didn’t play on the radio even MORE than the ones I knew. Solid band, solid albums!

It is always fun to talk about classic rock songs. I know that I have my lists of personal favorites. I listen to classic rock all day at my job. Long live rock!!!

Oh, I love lists! I forgot to go back and check this one out. I'm pretty sure everyone ought to be walking around with a Top 5 songs list ready to go, even if it's different an hour later. In fact, that would be a great little video "on the street" series: "Hey, buddy, TOP 3 SONGS EVER -- GO!!!"

ohmygosh the palpable thrill i would get if it were standard practice to make me recite my favorite songs (of the day) on the street? electric

I also love 3, 4 & 5. Stairway to Heaven was the theme of my high school prom. You should have been born in the late 50s and a teenager in the 70s (best music of all time hands down!) ….. but then you’d be as old as I am…. and that’s definitely no good. 😘

anyone reading the comments rn should understand that Marcus endorsing my takes on a classic rock post is a major, giant win for me and a huge stamp of approval
