Top 500 classic rock songs

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

You have all seen the top 500 classic rock songs list on the main site, Rock-Songs.com. Here’s the place to comment on the list. But first a few common questions and answers:

Q1: How is the list put together?
A: By compiling many other “top 500 rock songs”-lists. On each list I gave nr. 1 500 points, nr. 2 I gave 499 points.. and so on. Nr. 500 got 1 point. So it doesn’t really reflect my personal favourites.

Q2: How come there is some songs that aren’t really rock songs on the list?
A: I don’t know. Refer to Q1.

Q3: Hey maaaan..this is like..ehh crappy..this is bullshit dude..how come [insert any band/song] isn’t there?
A: Not my fault, check Q1. I used all “rock 500 lists” I could find, I didn’t exclude anyone.
