My one BIG peeve, "I can't get no satisfaction" is 214th!!!!!!! :wow: :wtf:

[TZ]

1. Baltimore huh...thats not far from Delaware....

There are several Zep songs in there..I wonder if LynneSin found out about this poll...;-)

[madinmaryland]

13. I know for sure it was not Bertha, because she is going on vacation

in Bermuda!

:D

[charlie and algernon]

16. ah, but this was done over the fourth, so she could've had a hand in this

[madinmaryland]

20. I think she was just coming off the west coast of Africa at that time,

so I don't think she was involved.

:hi:

[BOSSHOG]

2. The Greatest Rock Song ever isn't even on Baltimore's list o ftop 25

- Gimme Shelter - Stones

[charlie and algernon]

3. it did even worse than "satisfaction" as the 290th best song

in Baltimore's esteemed opinion

[BOSSHOG]

27. Thats just so wrong

as time passed by, Gimme Shelter remains my number one rocker for more then 30 years. Lots of various and asundry number two's but no tune has dethroned my number one.

You live in Pennsylvania and you are a Marlin fan? I live in Mississippi and am a Phillie Fan.

[skooooo]

4. No Dylan in the top 25?

Hard to take the silly thing seriously at all.

[charlie and algernon]

6. the fact that Baltimore doesn't know how to spell IMAGINE was the first clue

having "we will rock you" at 23 is the 2nd.

[skooooo]

10. The list looks more like a 70s top 25 play list, for the most part....

[charlie and algernon]

14. lol, seriously

though I'll take this one than a "greatest rock songs" that a DC station did. Their top 25 was littered with all Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Metalica. :rofl:

[skooooo]

17. I loved that book Flowers for Algernon......

so sad..

:cry:

[charlie and algernon]

22. it's an excellent book

it's a tremendous character study and what happens to someone when their fortune in life changes.

[madinmaryland]

5. Looks like LynneSin just LynneSinned that poll. I would just ignore those

results.

[TZ]

8. Dude..

You and I have to stop making the same wise ass remarks..or you know..somebody might think we are a....CLIQUE...:hide: :rofl:

[madinmaryland]

9. Hey!

We're on ignore, so who cares!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

41. no you're not...I am !! Woot

:applause:

[charlie and algernon]

11. lol, i wonder how many times people were allowed to vote

[MrCoffee]

7. Stairway, huh?

:eyes:

[skooooo]

12. Just can't get enough of that one, I bet..!

:rofl:

There's a laaaaaaaaaaaaady who's sure...........

[Blue_Tires]

15. let's not ask the good citizens of Baltimore for their opinions anymore

[skooooo]

18. I 2nd that!

[charlie and algernon]

19. we can always reopen the Federal Hill cannons

afterall, they were put there by the US government to keep the citizens of baltimore from getting too uppity during the civil war.

[madinmaryland]

21. Pffth!! Why don't you just sing our national anthem that was written

just outside of Baltimore!

[charlie and algernon]

23. we can do that while firing the cannons

;-)

[MissMillie]

35. that works for me

any "greatest" list that includes Lynard Skynard twice and the Beatles only once and The Who beats out the Beatles....



all wrong... all wrong

[livetohike]

24. Was this a Classic Rock Lite poll??

Elevator music for the top 25 anyway,imo.

[MissMillie]

36. well, it's classic rock, not metal

metal has it's own catagory

as does Metal Rap

[SoxFan]

25. The Dundalk High Class of '78 thanks you

[KamaAina]

26. "The Bay" is a Bawlmer radio station

this is probably a regurgitation of its playlist.

As a Bawlmer native, all I can say is, I hope there's a decent rock station there...

edit: caps

[TZ]

29. This is my mom's and stepdad's favorite radio station actually

And I like it myself (although I still prefer my ipod)....

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. And not one of 'em has 'Hon' in the title

:D

[TZ]

30. Ding!

Best response in this thread!:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. You betcha, hon!

YouTube: Who is Miss Honfest 2007?

[Mutley]

33. Then it's not truly Baltimore.

:D

[johnnie]

31. That's funny

That top 25 looks like every classic rock radio station's play list in the country. I pretty much would turn the station on every one of those songs these days.

[bbernardini]

34. No Frank Zappa or Todd Rundgren? For shame. nt

[newmajority]

37. As much as I love Queen, I don't think they need three (or is it 4? ) songs in the top 25

And Stairway to Heaven as #1?? How cliche is that??

And if you only have one Ac/Dc song, it MUST be Bon Scott, for fuck's sake!!

[Va Lefty]

38. 2 Eagles songs, 3 Queen songs and only 1 Beatles song?

:argh:

[Vidar]

39. Kind of an odd list that doesn't even mention Elvis.

[elshiva]

40. Not as good as the WTMD 89.7's greatest 897 songs ever,

I love that station, The Bay is elevator music compared to WTMD.
