Re: Q104.3 (NY) 1,043 Greatest Classic Rock Songs Of All-Time
Here's some fast facts
* There are two bands that each have 3 songs in the top 20 (and Led Zeppelin is not one of the bands).
* The Beatles have the most spots on the countdown. 21 songs ahead of the #2 band. In fact, if you add their solo work into the total, The Beatles are represented 95 times or over 9% of the entire countdown.
* After The Beatles, Led Zeppelin has the most (49) entries!
* The Rolling Stones, The Who and Bruce Springsteen follow to make up the countdown’s top 5 artists.
* Pink Floyd and Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young) are tied as the 6th most popular artists, with 25 songs represented, each.
* Bar for Bar, Note for Note, Neil Young rocks! If you include all his collaborations with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills and Nash, Young can get in on that 6th action with over 20 songs on the list.
* Eric Clapton is the 7th most popular artist. In fact, if you add in his work with Cream, Blind Faith, The Yardbirds and Derek & The Dominoes, Clapton has 24 songs on the countdown.
* As popular as all the British supergroups continue to be, 53% of the music on the countdown is American-made! Hoo Haa!
* The solo artist with the most songs on the countdown is Bruce Springsteen, with 29! Bruce is also the only solo artist in the top 10!
* Van Halen is the 8th biggest artist on the countdown, with 23 titles.
* Billy Joel is the 10th most popular artist on the countdown (surprised, right?), with 22 songs represented!
* Who is the top charting female solo artist? Janis Joplin.
