You lost me when you put "Bittersweet Symphony" on there. Good song, but not a great rock song.

Fair enough, I think it's a great rock song. Most people say no because it has no guitar, but frankly some songs, such as "Hey Jude", "Imagine", "Novmeber Rain" and just about every Elton John and Billy Joel song are largely piano / keyboard based and they still get tons of airplay on classic rock stations.

Finally a list that recognizes the briliance that is "Dancing in the Dark." That has to be one of my favorite songs ever.

I'm actually not that familliar with Rush, though I've been meaning to get into them.

Start with discs like Permenant Waves, Moving Pictures, Siginals, and Grace Under Pressure.

As for the list Where is AC/DC's "Back In Black" or "Highway To Hell"? "London Calling" The Clash should be much higher on the list.

Roxanne by the Police would classify as rock too, no? I would have put that on there.

I'm not sure if it would make my list, but it is a great song.

Good one. That being said, I have no intentions of revising my list.

RUSH was a great group, but since it's Canadian of COURSE it didn't make any of these lists.

I agree with you on the AC/DC.
