Radio YHBC Presents a special programme of Nothing but the Very Best Rock Songs of All Time [More:]

Disclaimer No. 1 - in no particular order.
Disclaimer No. 2 - reasonable minds may, of course, differ.
Disclaimer No. 3 - of course I didn't forget about that song, I didn't include it because:

(a) it would have been a far too obvious and predictable choice

(b) I didn't have a copy of it handy; or

(c) it sucks and I think less of you for even suggesting it be considered for inclusion herein. Come on, people! We're talking Best. Rock Songs. Of ALL TIME.
About two and a half hours total, btw.

Some notable omissions: I didn't include any Creedence because I couldn't decide between "Born on the Bayou" and "Fortunate Son". There's no Rolling Stones, because I don't have any handy - but I would probably have gone with either "Only Rock and Roll" or "Monkey Man".

No Elvis, Chuck Berry, or other fathers of rock and roll. That's not what I was going for. Likewise, no Allman Brothers or Cream - I didn't want the whole set to be "classic rock".

However, I should have had a KISS song, but I didn't have any available either. Maybe next time!
