Rock Songs That Can’t be In the QuickHitz Selection
Geeks & Beats ^ | August 15, 2014 | Vanessa Azzoli

It seems everyone has an opinion about the Calgary radio station’s choice to adopt the new QuickHitz editing program, writes G&B writer Vanessa Azzoli.

We certainly can’t forget the rock songs we love (and sometimes love to hate) that need to be listened to in their full length in order to be awesome. I’ve put together a list of some of my favourites. There are some obvious choices on here – I think every person I asked said “Stairway to Heaven.”

But, there are some on here that I think most of us forgot about. What are your favourite lengthy rock tunes?

This is a GREAT version of NIN's Reptile. Bauhaus's Peter Murphy does the vocals.

Listen to Live At Pompeii and watch the whole documentary. That will blow you away.

I got it off limewire a few years ago. ;-)

And you are right. It did!

Indeed it is. Somehow I ended up with the session recordings. All 20 songs are pretty impressive.

Cheers

Was their ‘71 Live at The Fillmore the one with “MudShark”? And So Happy Together with the former Turtles? I don’t remember Peaches en Regalia being on that. There is a lot I don’t remember.

Jan Akkerman is one of the greatest guitarists that few have ever heard of.

Yes. Flo and Eddie. Peaches was the second to last song on that record... somewhere in my vinyl collection I have the first pressing of that LP. I often listen to that album and really wish I was there.

Whenever I was looking to get my money's worth out of the jukebox without pissing off everyone in the bar (the way my brother would by stuffing 4 bucks in the jukebox and playing the entire Appetite For Destruction album... all 53 minutes, 52 seconds of it), I would play Can You Hear Me Knocking? off of Sticky Fingers. This one old biker bar we used to hang out at had the perfect feel for that tune... like the Stones once played it there. 7 minutes, 17 seconds long.

I am not a big Stones fan, but that is a good tune.

The Stones and my town have an interesting love affair. They for most of their tours here, and part of their prep is to show up at a club and play a set, usually with only a couple of hours’ notice. Also, Keith Richards credits his heroin bust here for saving his life.

Remember the original long song: Bohemian Rhapsody. Radio stations originally thought it was nuts to play the whole 5:55 minutes of it, without any cuts.
