"the weight" at 354. i remember when i first heard this song and how blown away i was by it. clapton's "cocaine" earlier. these are songs from my misbegotten youth. days gone by and would love to relive again. that's why i like these programs. it takes me back.

for those interested here's the countdown some guy put together and he says it's only missing one song. he might have got that song added by now though.

This is turning out to be a really good listen. They combined all the "classic rock" genres and time periods into one countdown, and it's a very interesting mix. I'm guessing they've got enough time scheduled to play through the whole thing 3 times, possibly 4.

Kudos to whoever came up with the concept and the breadth of it. It almost has an "IT" feel.

other good comments from people that have been listening to the station too.

Bruce Sprinsteen made me laugh when when he said something along the lines of "who could have have imagined that just by changing one word of a song to a feminine hygiene product that it would become a classic"
Deuce instead douche. That's how the the Manfred Mann version sounds.

when i first heard ozzie's "over the mountain" at 38 i thought a giant over rank-but after repeated listens i now really like that song. it's good. there are plenty of over ranks in this countdown-but it's really no big deal. the big deal was to get on the list in the first place. anyways ozzie sounds great on this one.

That's the version I always go to as well. Because it's an awesome version, their last appearance, and because it's so iconic.

the channels are pretty compartmentalized on siriusxm. you won't hear soundgarden on classic vinyl or classic rewind. maybe 1985 was the latest year for the countdown. maybe. and it probably started with a beatles song from 1964.
