RonJonSurfer Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thank you all. I know I have classic rock, nothing beyond the 70's taste in music. Commercially successful music is often put down, but I think it became successful because of the quality. I started with a blank sheet of paper and started writing. My process was to write down the songs that are always kicking around my brain...I ended up with 138 on my first draft. I had to omit so many songs I love. Probably the biggest omission (it was in the 138) was Light My Fire. Light My Fire is on my personal Top 10 list and it just slipped my mind. That's OK, I'm happy with the 50 I ended up with here. I wish I could have found a video for "I'm Alright Jack" by Tom Robinson Band. It is one of the songs that doesn't seem to fit the list, but it is easily a top 50 song for me. Thanks for the fun guys. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
