Norm of that blog has compiled the results of his poll on the 10 greatest songs of rock and roll which I mentioned back here. It’s an interesting list and I think you should have a good look at it….. If only to sneer at those you don’t like. As Norm says, obviously skewed by the age group sending in the recommendations.
(Disclosure. Only three of my 10 made it to the list. Obviously out of tune (sorry) with everyone else.)

I’m astonished. As an aging rocker (approaching 50 from the wrong direction), I’ve been accustomed to viewing such lists with a mixture of puzzlement (“Never heard of ’em.”) and disdain (“You’re joking!”). Despite the paucity of prog-rock (proper music), this one isn’t too bad.
I’ve always thought that groups of people do a better job of ranking things like this than individuals, who always let some idiosyncratic choices slip in.
Tim adds: Indeed. The Hayekian argument for chaotic markets not centralised planning!
