I can recommend Planet Rock. Minimal news breaks and advert breaks music sans irritation. I couldn't find the whole hundred listed anywhere though.

For anyone that doesn't think that Robert Plant is the best rock and roll singer of all time-just try singing "Stairway to Heaven". It's a killer.

I'd remove Bohemian Rhapsody and replace it with Won't Get Fooled Again.

I'm not a great fan of the Who, though that's a good song, I'd swap Paranoid and Bohemian Raphsody for Sweet Home Alabama and Burn by Deep Purple.

I'd have put Whole Lotta' Love at #1. But Stairway also works.
Darn. Planet Rock doesn't do Shoutcast, otherwise you could grab tomorrow's Top 100 using Streamripper.

That song absolutely
sucks. It, along with "Born to be Wild" and "Margaritaville" and "China Grove", is what had finally killed radio for me.
It's bad enough that radio stations fell in line with some out of touch New York "consultant" as to what to play, but there are enough lemming listeners to keep those consultants in business.

Not for the composers of the viking kitties theme tune. I wouldn't dare.

I kind of like Zeppelin in general but "Stairway" along with some of the other numbers there like "Hotel California" and "Freebird" are just hard to listen to.

2) Freebird - Lynyrd Skynyrd No way!
I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd play it live in concert. It was loooooong, boring and the fans, including myself were getting restless. I love anything by Skynyrd EXCEPT for Freebird.

Well you were lucky to see them. Here in the UK, as a teenager my plans to see them were tragically interrupted by the plane crash. Then I twice got tickets to see Rossington Collins as a sort of consolation only to have to get refunds as they cancelled the tour both times. :-(

Skynyrd's great, but I have to agree with MotleyGirl on this one.

I like Zeppelin, but I find that most bands that were influenced by Zeppelin I like better than Zeppelin itself.

I like 2, 5, 9, and 10. The rest s-ck!
Where's "Sheena is a Punk Rocker?" "God Save the Queen?" "Gary Gilmore's Eyes?"

I'm thinking more old Def Leppard and Great White.
Kingdom Come and Whitesnake are OK...but they rate far lower than Zeppelin on my scale.

Huge Zep fan here. The thing about Stairway is that Plant even said it isn't Zepp's best work. Kashmir might be but any list where Zepp is number one works for me. The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again to me is the defining rock song if there is such a thing.

3) Bohemian Rhapsody - QueenBLEECH! A Broadway Show theme masquerading as a "Rock Classic."
