First of all? What the fuck is classic rock?
According to Wikipedia, Classic Rock "is a US radio format which developed from the album-oriented rock (AOR) format in the early 1980s." It is considered the main "genre" of music that was listened to by the Baby Boomers.
But you certainly don't have to be a baby boomer to appreciate the concept of Classic Rock, as my co-host Chris Corral and I take on today. We chose to define Classic Rock as anything released prior to 1985. Our lists are eclectic and thoughtful with a couple of surprises.
This was an incredibly fun show to record and I give major props to Chris for his insight here - he's not only a pop-culture enthusiast like myself but he's also a musician, composer, and songwriter and I sure did learn a lot from him during our discussion.
And by the way - Chris Corral did compose the show music for this very podcast as well as my other show, Higher Ed Happy Place.
As always, feel free to contact us about our lists, challenge our choices, or propose a Top Five subject of your own! The email address is hello@thetopfivepodcast.com
and now…here’s the transcript from this week’s show :)
[00:01:01] So we are going to cover the five best. Classic rock songs. Um, classic rock. I think we defined, like could be anywhere between like the sixties.
[00:01:12] And I think in the mid eighties,
[00:01:14] I think you said pre 85, pre 85, I guess that is what I went on now. So I would like to know what you're, what your, I know we defined a period, but now let's get some, what is your mental context when it comes to classic rock? Like where are you deriving your feeling? What a classic rock song
[00:01:33] is.
[00:01:33] Okay. So first off I was, I grew up as a person who was exposed to a lot of like commercials and stuff like that. And part of what I would consider classic rock is, well, what would I hear on a classic rock station? Exactly. Which is messed up because now I'm hearing like stuff that, you know, I grew up with in high school, on a classic rock station.
[00:01:59] and so that's totally skewing my thought process on what I would choose. Sure. But yeah. So anyways, that's but that's, you know, not withstanding, I think. Yeah. We still, you know, I think classic rock, because when you get into the eighties, eighties becomes like hair metal or glam rock or that kinda thing.
[00:02:21] Right. So eighties becomes eighties.
[00:02:22] Yeah. And there's a whole bunch of different little mini pockets that you can. Put in there. Right. And I, and I don't know about you. I Googled. I Googled top classic rock socks of all socks. rock socks. I Googled classic rock songs of all time to kind of look and see like, okay, where are other people going?
[00:02:44] And what does rolling stone say? And, and so for me, I went back to, so my upbringing, my childhood and Parker, Illinois, I listen to. You can hear the music on the AAM radio. I listen to S am radio, right? And they had a countdown every week. And you could go into the like gas stations or grocery stores and get these little flyers, these little paper flyers.
[00:03:08] And it was the WLS countdown for the week. Now, admittedly, not all of it was what I would now consider classic rock because there was a lot of more like pop music on there. Um, I, I do not think of Fleetwood Mac when I think of classic rock. Other people might do that, but I, I don't, although I would've heard of Fleetwood Mac song on Doug Yos am 89, right.
[00:03:31] And then they of course do their annual top 89 songs of whatever year it was. So, so for me, my list is definitely STR uh, stemming from songs I would've heard in those years between probably 1973. and 1982, when I left the Chicago area and moved to Arkansas and then everything I listened to from then would definitely be what I would call eighties music.
[00:03:56] Right. Right. Okay. So do you wanna go first or do you want me
[00:03:59] to go? Um, I'll go first. Okay. Now also, so putting into the, uh, context, my criteria is yes, because there is a, there are so many. There's so much stuff that is, uh, you know, that could qualify as being one of the best songs of all time, you know, in totally classic rock period.
[00:04:20] Right. I mean, just, you know, there's, you know, you would talk about, you know, um, velvet underground in Nico. Like how many people, you know, really, uh, were influenced by that how many people were influenced by Hendrix, how many people were influenced by Zeppelin and all that kind of stuff. Right? Yeah. So I had to leave all that behind.
[00:04:41] Okay. And I, and so the thought process is what are the first songs that you think of when you think of classic rock and. That that, so that to in my head was where I was going with it. Right. Okay, cool. Oh, I can't wait to, I look list when I look at my list and I'm like, okay. Yeah, there are some typical fucking songs on there.
[00:05:05] but I will say this is that they do not disqualify. That does not disqualify them for being thought of as one of the best classic rock songs of all time. Okay. Fair. and I do understand that people would say, well, you know, you could have been a little bit more creative about it. this is my list. Fuck all.
[00:05:25] Okay,
[00:05:25] great. And, and before you go into your list, just a reminder to everybody listening that Chris and I are not scholars, academics, sociologists, anything like that. We are just pop culture enthusiasts with some rockstar
[00:05:40] don't opinions. Look at my background. Okay.
[00:05:47] Anyway. Yeah. Cause we're talking about music, right. So, yeah, for sure. We're gonna think that I have some kind of acumen just cuz I Tiner
[00:05:53] around you are a musician. Yes. And a karaoke enthusiast, which is something else we share. That will be another episode. Absolutely. Karaoke commandments. Okay. Here we go.
[00:06:04] Number five. Okay.
[00:06:05] Number five. Revolution by the
[00:06:07] Beatles. Oh, wow. That's a good one. Yeah. And that opens up a whole bunch of doors too. Right. Right. All right. Let's talk about
[00:06:14] revolution. Yeah. So, I mean, it's just basically, you know, you gotta Chuck Berry riff, right. BA you know, they essentially kind of took this, you know, this sort of like, kind of Chuin you get a distorted guitar.
[00:06:26] It's kind of like one of like the proto distorted guitars that's, you know, just sort. Just aggressive. It's really aggressive. Now you could also sort of like put Helter Skelter in this kind of like yeah. You know, it's just, it's got that same kind of, but this had a little bit more swagger to it. and it was on, um, in, uh, KLS X.
[00:06:51] It was sort of like the, what introduced them during a commercial and that's sort of my first exposure to it. And that was oh, cool. Cool. What is that? That's cool. Right. So nice. That was my exposure to that. And then, awesome. Yeah. So, but I was a fan of the Beatles from. Sergeant pepper and listening to Sergeant pepper.
[00:07:11] So like our, you know, like the intro to Sergeant pepper is this, like this really gritty guitar sound. It's fricking awesome. So, yeah. So anyway, but, um, I chose revolution just because like, when you, when I think classic rock. Yeah.
[00:07:24] Yeah. Cool. Oh, I like it.
[00:07:27] Yeah. Okay. So number four is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I probably could qualify all of these on there, but it's one of my favorite songs of all time.
[00:07:40] And that's called it's it's, uh, Tom Sawyer rush.
[00:07:43] Oh my God. I almost put that on my list. Yeah, that's such a fucking good song. I love to play that song and red Barta in the car at. All cranked all the way, the hell up. Yes.
[00:07:56] So good. It starts off. They have that. They have that, that synthesizer. Yes. And, and then, and then the beat and the beat just gets you.
[00:08:05] It's like, it's like a warmup and then they get into it and then they get into it some more. And then they F. I mean, it's like, yes, hard to just like break down and hook his voice. Just soars. It's awesome. In a way. So get Lee has a very strange voice.
[00:08:22] He does. Yes.
[00:08:24] And this is a, this, he does it, he sings this in a way that like, because I think that, you know, there's like, um, so I did not put journey on this list.
[00:08:38] And it had cross my mind to put don't stop believing on this list. okay. that's okay. Um, now Steve, Perry's got that sort of, that kind of smokey high pitched kind of que kind of thing with Tom's. So and so, and, and, and, uh, Getty Lee's voice is a lot more just. Just thin and narrow and just kind of, no, it mine, not for ring.
[00:09:13] like
[00:09:15] a little, a little sniffly, a little
[00:09:18] sniffly. No, you just kind of like, Ugh. But when he sings, he sings enough times where it's in the range. That is pleasant. Yeah. And he hits you occasionally with like, You know, babe, you know, and it just brings up the, the energy and you know, everything. And it's amazing
[00:09:42] what singers that have that range, where they can hit that really high Octa in a, like that just sort of opens up your whole world.
[00:09:51] Yeah. And makes the top of your head come off in a good way. yeah. Like that those songs are awesome. Right. They, I mean, you can feel, you can feel them in your being right. There's like a visceral. Yes. There's a, there's a physiological psychosomatic reaction, absolutely. To songs like that. Absolutely. Yeah. I, I dig that you, yeah, I almost put that.
[00:10:12] I almost put that
[00:10:13] song on my list. Yeah. And on top of that, it's got it. It's built in steps. Right. So you've got like the intro that's chill, but it's proving. Yeah. You know, you like, just sit there, like all I'm gonna, this is me driving talk. And then, and then you get into the, you know, more of the singing part and then they get into like, kind of more the instrumental part.
[00:10:35] And then they got that really cool breakdown. What he say about his company. Right. So when he gets into that part, yeah. It's just this really great riff. It's got this cool character to it. And then they go into the midsection where like he pulls out the synth and then there's a guitar solo, and then there's a punk solo.
[00:10:53] And then, then the lyrics come back and it's like, oh, oh, that's yeah, yeah. Oh yeah. Cause I was fucking lost in all this, like, you know, amazingness. Right. So anyways, just one of the
[00:11:06] greatest songs of all. Well, yeah, two enthusiastic thumbs up on that one.
[00:11:10] All right. Third one is walk this.
[00:11:13] Oh Aerosmith. That's a good one.
[00:11:16] Yes. Yeah. And so walk this way is just,
[00:11:22] yeah, it's got this really cool. Just. It's gotta cool. Everything like there's like a, um, so I grew up originally, like I thought like, oh man, like run DMC, did a great song called run. Walk this way. I had to hear the version, like after that I'm like, oh, okay, whoa, what is this strange that anyway. So, um, they.
[00:11:48] What, what they ended up doing now, there is a reason why run DMC used that as that they covered it is. Yeah, it's fucking cool. Absolutely not that you hear any music being sampled by a hip hop artist. That's like, I mean, I, one of things that I really enjoy about hip hop and I particularly the golden age of hip hop, which is around like, um, 80, like 88 to about 90.
[00:12:17] They were taking great samples and they were finding all this really. Yeah. And kind of like, it really put a, a mark, like a, like a star on like whatever they ended up sampling. So like, if I, if that ever comes back around, whatever, and if I ever write something and somebody ends up sampling it. Yes.
[00:12:36] Because they dug deep into crates. Fine. Oh yeah. Let's find a, you know, like I think.
[00:12:43] I think wild thing from tone lo has a van Halen riff in it. Right. Or maybe it's funky Cole, Medina. I don't remember which one, but I, you know, you read about that stuff and you're like, what? No
[00:12:54] way. Yeah. Yeah. There's um, and sample hunt, like I like listening the stuff and then thinking like, man, where did they find that?
[00:13:01] And then when you find the original, it's like, oh, that's awesome. Yeah. That's so cool. Walk this way. Um, also one of the, like the, what the guitar is doing during walk this way is a really mm-hmm understated cool thing. Um, yeah. And Joe Perry is a fucking genius and Brad Whitford, the, the rhythm, uh, guitar player and, and Tom Hamilton, like with the, with the base riffs, he's doing some awesome shit that he doesn't really get credit for.
[00:13:36] Uh, big ups to, uh, Aerosmith for walk.
[00:13:39] Yes. Another two enthusiastic thumbs
[00:13:42] up. Awesome. Okay. Uh, number two. Um, here's where we start getting into, uh, what I would consider a little, um, you know, I guess a little, um, what are the, what's that word when you, uh, uh, when, when people are not, you know, Sorry. I, I couldn't think of the word anyways.
[00:14:05] um, so this, this one is, uh, highly contested. Okay. Highly contestable. Okay. Stairway to heaven. well,
[00:14:18] why is it
[00:14:18] contestable? Well, because it's so it's, it's the proto, it's the proto of,
[00:14:25] uh, if I could quote Wayne and Garth right now. Right. It's so obvious. Yeah,
[00:14:29] exactly. It's, it's super obvious. And, um, because it's so obvious, you know, that's the, you know, that's, that's what makes it just so contestable.
[00:14:40] um, but obviously, um, you know, it is one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Um, the lyricism, it really kind of called into, you know, a really like, kind of a mystical place. And it kind of puts you in a, in an, in an area, puts you in a mood stairway,
[00:14:58] takes you on a journey. Absolutely. That's, that's a, I mean, contestable, all of the things like aside, it it's, there's a catharsis in listening to that song, the, the right way, like in the spirit for which the song was recorded initially.
[00:15:17] And yeah. So I'm I'm with you. Yeah. People can say what they want. Like, oh yeah. That's a cop out. Well, no, it's your opinion. So, I mean, and yeah, it's number two.
[00:15:26] come on. So. Some of the best playing that John Bonham has ever done. Mm-hmm as a, as a drummer. Yeah. It's highlights. Uh, John Paul Jones at, you know, sitting, he does a recorder.
[00:15:42] He does the keyboards he's bass player. Oh, wow. Yeah. So he's, I know that he's all over the place like John Paul Jones as the bass player of, um, who is a fucking excellent bass player. , but not just that, but overall like an excellent musician is probably the most underrated member of, uh, of, um, led Zeppelin what's Zeppelin and yeah.
[00:16:07] So, um, uh, then you get one of the most perfect iconic guitar performances overall by Jimmy page, Jimmy page, obviously. Sure. And then. Robert plant. Yeah, obviously just it's. I mean, it's just royalty, they're fucking royalty and that song has a lot to do with it all. Hail, all hail, all
[00:16:34] hail, no stairway. All
[00:16:37] right.
[00:16:37] Number one, number one. Woohoo. Classic rock song of all time again from the fucking obvious category. Bohemian RHAP? No, no.
[00:16:52] way. Oh my God. Okay. I'm not gonna spoil it. Just you go ahead. And
[00:16:58] you, you, okay, so, so Bohemian RH is stairway to heaven on steroids and they're with supplements. They're, they're built pretty much identical.
[00:17:16] Oh, I never thought about that. So real life. Do I have a intro? That's super iconic. you know, right. Yeah. They build it up and it takes you on a ride. Mm-hmm it takes you through hell cuz the guy like, you know, oh yeah. You know, he just killed a man, killed a man. Um, and and the, all the, the things that, that.
[00:17:40] That go into the performance. You know, you've got Freddie mercury with the piano, just amazing. Um, Brian May awesome. But Roger Taylor, as the, as the drummer. With, with the backing vocals. Golly. Lao got, yeah. Yes. So Roger Taylor gets big, you know, he needs big some, some big credit on that. Right. So I think
[00:18:09] that is, I think my favorite scene from the movie Bohemian Rhapsody when they're recording that song.
[00:18:14] Yeah. Cause he's like over it, I don't wanna do anymore. Golly. Laos. And Freddy's like, no, we need another gal Lao. I just find that so humorous, but it's it. I mean, it's beautiful and it's iconic, like you said,
[00:18:25] totally iconic. Yeah. And then, you know, obviously, you know, Fred Mercury's vocal performance, John deacon's base performance.
[00:18:33] Mm-hmm , it's amazing. And then, uh, Brian May with just riff after riff, after riff, after riff of cool shit, meaning NA our solos are all great. Yeah. Is hit the, the, the riff, you know, during the iconic like head pounding thing. And then they come out of it and it just resolves super beautifully. And it gives you yes, goosebumps.
[00:18:57] Yeah. And so right. You, you get closure there, there is. There you are not left in limbo with that song. No, you go on a journey and you get closure and,
[00:19:09] and then you go anywhere with the wind blows any
[00:19:12] way the wind blows anywhere. The wind blows. Is it way or where way? I think anyway, yeah, I'm down with that.
[00:19:20] Two mega enthusiastic thumbs up, thumbs up. Cool. That's a good list. Corral. Really good list. Wow. All right. Whew. I feel like I need a cigarette. okay. Um, you ready? I'm gonna go down my list now. All right. Let's do when I actually, now that we've been talking I'm, I'm changing one of mine, but same, same artist, different song.
[00:19:44] Okay. Okay. Number five on my list of classic rock songs of all time is jukebox hero from foreigner. Okay. And I will tell you this, talk about. Manically like song of my youth, my brother and I bonded over this song, so, so much, but I love, I love the story of this song. Mm-hmm um, there's, you know, he's standing in the rain with his head, hung low, couldn't get a ticket.
[00:20:09] It was a sold out show, but I mean, he wanted this per this character wanted to be in that space. I want to experience this music. I wanna be all those. Exactly. I, yes, I want that. And so he bought a beat up six string in a second hand store and he didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure. So like, this is like the story of the ultimate rock star.
[00:20:31] Like I, I wanna be that. Yeah. And you hear, I mean, you have heard this story a thousand times from a thousand different artists I saw, so and so play. I heard this song. I, I saw this person wear these boots and I wanted that life. And so for me, like, I think jukebox hero is like, what rock and roll is all about.
[00:20:52] Yeah. Um, and it's, and again, my, like my brother and I go talk about going down a rabbit hole. We will, we will lip sync perform that song when we hang out together. Cuz that, that just, that song is part of our childhood and it, it just tells the perfect. rockstar story and I love it. Awesome. Okay. So number four was come sail away by sticks, Uhhuh
[00:21:16] But since you have been talking, I've changed my mind and I'm putting fooling yourself. Angry young man in that space, same album, right? It's the same album, the grand illusion. Which again, I, when you talk about concept albums, I think you have to talk about sticks all day long. Yeah. Um, and this is a, you know, one of their concept albums and I, there is not a bad track on that entire album as far as I'm concerned, but fooling yourself.
[00:21:41] Like Tom's lawyer is one of those songs where you put it on the radio or on the radio, in the car, whatever I'm cranking it all the way up. I am going to perform that song myself in the vehicle. and it's going to be a classic performance. I, I mean, there there's just so much heart, soul and guts in that song.
[00:22:01] I really, I should do that at karaoke sometime, cuz I think, I think I'm in the range. I think I could think I could pull it off. Okay. Um, but yeah. It it's, it just, it's a song. It's not a very happy song, but it makes, it makes me happy to be in its space. Right. And, and I love, I love everything about it. I love Tommy Shaw.
[00:22:21] That's his, that's a Tommy Shaw song. It's not a dentist to young song. Um, And yeah, it just, I don't know. It, it brings me to another space and time pace and pace and time. Right. That just makes me, makes me happy. Um, okay. So number three on my list is, and you have to put these two together. They belong together for play slash long time by Boston.
[00:22:42] Yeah, that was gonna, yeah, that was one of those was gonna end up on my list. Yeah. So, and I, I
[00:22:46] can't remember which song you were describing that has the build, but like for me, The, in the foreplay intro, really the best, the best
[00:22:54] part. Right. Because that's exactly what it is.
[00:22:56] Yeah. The, the, the part where it starts all instrumental in foreplay and it starts to get silent.
[00:23:03] And then you hear that guitar in the back, it's really D
[00:23:11] and the drums just explode and like, it's, it, it opens up a whole new world and then that guitar kicks in and then. Been such a long time, like, wow. I'm like, I am in the zone. Yeah. When that song comes on. Yeah. And I have been known to beat the holy living shit out of a dashboard as a passenger. And I wanna like time it just right.
[00:23:35] Cuz if you're not paying attention, you'll miss. When that drums just explodes. Oh, that's awesome. So like, I mean, all three of these songs so far have. Like you were talking about a, a physical, a visceral psychosomatic reaction. They all take me there. They all knew that to my body. And yeah. Anyway for play long time is just one of those, what a great song.
[00:23:56] I, I could play that little. In that, uh, that intro interlude over and over and over again. I just love it. I love that build. Um, okay. number two. And here's my it's so obvious. Uh, I can't get no satisfaction by the rolling stones. Oh, hell yeah. And I think when I, like, when I close my eyes and I think about the iconic.
[00:24:20] Classic rock song. I, I think about like in the sixties where you had, you had the Beatles camp and you had the rolling stones camp, they both came out around the same time. Um, I guess you could both consider them British invasion, but they, they sang very different kind of. Music. And I would even, like, I would even argue that the Beatles are more pop than the stones.
[00:24:43] That sounds right. Yes. But that that's another episode.
[00:24:45] The stones were, the stones were more blues based.
[00:24:48] Yes. Yes. Which is, you know, now that I'm learning all about punk rock music, same like same thing. It's so interesting to hear these bands talk about where they came from with their punk origin, but it's still no, no one calls it blues.
[00:25:01] Call it punk, but anyway, right. Um, yeah, I can't get no satisfaction just as like, okay. This is like the song I think they're probably most known for. And I, they. Kind of created a genre. I don't know. There's just something about that song that, and it's not even like stairway in the fact that stairway put, takes you on this journey and it, I can't get no satisfaction is a slower, it's a shorter song.
[00:25:25] It's not, it's
[00:25:26] not a long song. Yeah. But it came about like probably a good seven years prior and it really opened up what was possible. You know, particularly, you know, radio play and getting people sort of into that, you know, into that realm, you know, without, without satisfaction, you don't get stairway for
[00:25:47] sure.
[00:25:48] Yeah. Yeah. That's fair. That is a fair sentiment. Totally. Yeah. So, and I, I don't know, that's not even my favorite early in stone song, but when I think of it is your
[00:25:57] favorite rolling stone song.
[00:26:00] That's a really good question. I know that it's not satisfaction, but might be painted, might be painted black and it might be, um, start me up.
[00:26:11] Oh yeah. What a great, like, I love, I love that song. It starts the, the rhythm shift that they do at the beginning. I can hear, I can listen to that all day.
[00:26:22] Yeah, totally. Okay. Well, I, this is not going to come as a surprise. I don't think my number one classic rock sock of all song of all time. Why do I wanna keep saying classic rock socks, um, is Bohemian and rap sea from queen.
[00:26:37] So see great minds think alike. Yeah. And for all of the reasons that you shared earlier, but what for me, I guess, um, and again, like they were. Even though I think this came out in 74. Yeah. Night. It was the night at the opera album, I think. Um, But the reason this, cuz this had a staying power, that was really interesting.
[00:26:59] And then when it was resurrected by Wayne's world in the late eighties and Penelope spirits, by the way, who directed that film and created those decline of Western civilization films, I don't know if you've seen those. Yes. Um, there really. Amazing amazing movies. Um, but so for my, all of my sister's friends who were in high school, when Wayne's world came out and they're all doing this, like, Hey, have you heard about this new band queen?
[00:27:26] And I'm like, oh my God, I wanna kill all of you. you have no idea. And I think for me, just this notion of music that defines generations that arguably. This is the most iconic classic rock of all of all time, because it has transcended generations. So you had its original release and the radio airplay and the music video that became, and then you had this resurgence with Wayne's world and people embracing that.
[00:27:58] Music again. Mm-hmm um, and then when they made the Bohemian Rhapsody movie with, um, Rami, Mallek playing Freddie mercury, I think that you had a lot of other people in an new generation, so yeah, your baby boomers slash gen Xers, and then your millennials, your early millennials, and then your gen Y people that are now like, okay.
[00:28:19] This is a, this is an amazing band. What a great story. It's, it's a song for all time. It is. Yeah, it
[00:28:25] absolutely. You know, and it's just, there's so much that it there's, there's so much present there to kind of, you know, for everybody, you know, you can hear it and you can like, wow, like you. Philosophies about it, or you can, you know, as a guitar player, you know, I'm sitting there kind of trying to figure it out.
[00:28:48] Like as a, as a, you know, music producer, just like sitting there going, like, how the fuck did somebody sit down and do all of these things that, yeah, there's a, I don't know if you knew this part of it. There's this old, like kind of this lore, the story that they passed it through the tape deck. So many times towards the end of it, they could start seeing through the actual.
[00:29:10] Oh my gosh, um, through the tape, because it was starting to wear off the, the, um, the silver, um,
[00:29:17] Whatever the stuff is silver
[00:29:18] mag needs like the magnetic material like that. Mm-hmm brownish material, whatever. Oh, wow. So they were like, shit, well, we need to get this, like, you know, we need to get this, we need to lay it down.
[00:29:30] down. Cause they were starting to get to a point where, you know, the tape wear was so significant that you know, they, but it's a super clean recording. And Freddy mercury, basically when he did all the parts he had already that he, that composed in his head. Yeah. At a fucking genius. Mm-hmm , you know, and actually, um, I don't know if you've seen it, but there's, um, some interviews with Brian May, as Brian May is listening to the recording and they take parts of it out.
[00:29:56] Oh wow. You can listen to, and he's like, and Brian May is sitting there. Man, like Freddy mercury played that piano part and he's not playing to a click and it is spot on like on time. Like you can pretty much wow. Set
[00:30:10] O' clock to it. That's amazing. Well, I'm telling you what it's, I mean, it's a song I can listen to over and over and over again.
[00:30:18] It will, that song will never die for me. Right. Ever. Yeah, not ever. All right. Let's recap. Chris's
[00:30:24] top five. Okay. Since I have a list this time. Excellent. So number five is revolution by the Beatles. Excellent. Uh, number four is Tom Sawyer by rush. Number three is walk this way by Aerosmith. Number two is stairway by led Zeppelin.
[00:30:46] And number one is Bohemian Rhapsody. It's so
[00:30:51] obvious. It's so obvious. my five are jukebox hero from foreigner. Full fooling yourself, angry. Young men buy sticks, foreplay long time by a Boston. I can't get no satisfaction from the stones and same Bohemian Rhapsody by queen two. Enthusiastic thumbs up for real.
[00:31:15] Yeah. That, yeah. Good, good show. Like, wow. So many things to think about and kick around. Um, and if you listeners disagree, we wanna hear from you. We don't know how we will do that yet, but we'll figure it out. And when this gets released, it will be in show notes. So, yeah,
[00:31:32] there's a common section somewhere.
[00:31:34] It
[00:31:35] will be somewhere. Yeah. How about it? We'll figure it out. Okay. So thanks again for downloading this week's episode of top five podcast. I'm Chris.
