Do you have any links? The only other site I frequent has a bunch of Brits saying how horrible the Trump visit was. But, they are the biggest aholes on the internet. I would just like to show them stories that don't quite match their view.

I would like to know, too!

The Mizzou/Yale/PC/Free Speech Topic

I remember when Cuban called him out on him and got some Big Ten ribbing in, as well. Saying that if he had gone to Indian'a's biz school instead of MSU's, he would understand equity..................And, then I watched Green's press conference where he said "I understand equity!" and within two minutes had said something so stupid that it was clear he didn't understand equity at all. -
He drank first thing in the morning.

Rock and Roll or Over the Hills and Far Away by Zep.............I still say Satisfaction is the greatest Stones song. It may be the greatest rock song. But, I would play Rocks Off, the opener of Exile before I played it..........Rosie belongs on the list easily!

I think they were actually the same guy.

Andre had the right words for Bon Jovi.

I never watched that show, so that would definitely not be how I knew him.

I could have sworn he had a big single in the 70s, but I kept looking for it today, and came up with nothing...........I have no idea how I even knew him, and what he sounded like. I sure don't have his albums.

How the ***** is it that in 1981, I saw Journey get booed off the stage because everybody hated them and wanted The Stones..................And, somehow now I'm more likely to hear a Journey song on 97 Rock than I am a Stones song?!?

From wiki: Background[edit] Springsteen originally wrote "Pink Cadillac" as "Love Is a Dangerous Thing" in December 1981; First recorded by Springsteen in an acoustic version in early January 1982 in the session whose tracks would comprise the Nebraska album Could you be thinking of Cadillac Ranch?

I don't give a crap what anybody's favorite tunes are............I have seen Bruce Springsteen 27 times, and can't wait till next year's tour that just got announced. I have every album he ever made up until the Seeger Sessions stuff............I love the Stones and have seen them several times. There is no way that any of those songs, and I like them all, are better rock songs than Satisfaction and Born To Run.................I won't even argue about Sweet Child because I'm not much of a GNR fan. Pink Cadillac in 1980? Was it a bootleg or something? (Bruce often had songs that weren't official that he would play live) It was on a B side of one of the Born in the USA songs in 1984.

I don't think it's 100% - I think Satisfaction, Born To Run, Sweet Child, and others are the best by their artists.

I like listening to Slick Tom. Why is he a prick?

I'm pretty sure they flip flop the two just about every year.

Steve Tasker, one of toughest listens [CBS contract not renewed!]

Yeah, I wish I had never see the latter's video! I didn't realize that Under Pressure was #1 in the UK. It also shows the weirdness of the popularity that it peaked at 29 in the US but then is 31 on VH1's list for the entire 80s! "Under Pressure" is a 1981 song by the British rock band Queen and British singer David Bowie. It was included on Queen's 1982 album Hot Space. The song reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Queen's second number-one hit in their home country (after 1975's "Bohemian Rhapsody", which topped the chart for nine weeks) and Bowie's third (after 1980's "Ashes to Ashes" and the 1975 reissue of "Space Oddity"). The song peaked at No. 29 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in January 1982, and would re-chart for one week at No. 45 in the US following Bowie's death in January 2016. It was also number 31 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s.[1] It was voted the second best collaboration of all time in a poll by Rolling Stone magazine.[2]

I loved Under Pressure from the very beginning. I couldn't understand why it wasn't more popular at the time. I think it made up to #27 or something.............It might not be where it should be on this list, but at least it's got the respect it deserves over time. You'd never know it was a minor hit at the time for it's popularity now....................A GREAT video, too.

This might as well be called "songs we play EVERY SINGLE DAY on 97 Rock" I don't understand this Classic Rock format at all..............It's all the same 10 or so bands all the time..........Why wouldn't there be as much, if not way more, Beatles, Stones, Springsteen, Rod Stewart, etc. as there is AC/DC, Aerosmith, ***** Bon Jovi, etc. When I tuned in during the weekend, and the list was on say song 160-170, it was great. They were great songs I haven't heard in a long time..............I happened to tune in again towards the end, and holy crap, it's the same songs I hear them play constantly. They should have a huge playlist with all the great songs they can choose from from the 60s onward, and yet it's the same crap over and over.
