584 DAVID BOWIE - Space Oddity

What the hell, 584?!

Polls that reflect the opinion of the general public tend to yield similar results. Not sure why people are so surprised.

I don't know most of those songs, and I've been to New Zealand twice. Other posters are right - seems like Will to Power's "Freebird/Baby I Love Your Way" should really be there. That song's like 20 years old now, maybe NZ listeners just don't remember:




FWIW list doesn't include Moony's "Dove/I'll Be Loving You Forever" and Spiller's "Groovejet/If This Ain't Love"...

also lol at 'betterman' in particular, that whole album sucked balls and that is one of the worst pearl jam singles ever

Yeah, I got given that album by an ex-girlfriend when it came out. I listened to it twice and just figured that there must have been something that I was missing.

My number 1 rock song of all time is "You shook me all night long". I dropped this at my club the other night in the middle of a house set and the place went absolutely crazy. And yet on that list we have songs like With or without you in front of it.

Wrong AC/DC song at the top, it should be "You Shook Me All Night Long."

Did "All Right Now" by Free make the list somewhere? Always thought that was the "quintessential" rock song.

the top 10 rock songs basically have not changed since they started doing listener lists.

This list is fairly close give or take

1. Stairway to Heaven (always been #1)
2. Layla
3.Freebird
4.Satisfaction
5.bab O'reilly
6. Hey Jude
7. born to run
8. light my fire
9. wont get fooled again
10. tangled up inblue

My friends have discussed how strange that this list rarely varies, and songs in the last 25 years are unable to crack top 10.

Big LOL at op's list.

Hotel Ca, Sympathy for devil and let it B also get thrown in there

debating these kinds of lists is so stupid, there are obvious levels in terms of how great a song is, like stairway, layla, hotel ca, freebird are all on the immortal level, but you can't say one is better than the other, they're all amazing

[pokeraz]

That list is just bad no matter which country it came from.
