February 13, 200620 yr Here it is. The matches get harder and the winner is closer to being crowned favorite classic rock song of Soxtalk. Bold your favorite song out of each match. Please note that two songs are back for reasons that are stated below. Section 1. White Room - Cream vs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan vs. Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. When the Levee Breaks- Led Zeppelin Section 2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen vs. Baba O'Reilly - The Who Pinball Wizard - The Who vs. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones A Day in the Life - The Beatles vs. Dream On - Aerosmith *This red match has two songs that were eliminated from Round 2. They are here because if I don’t have them, there will only be a conclusion of 5 winners, an odd number, so with this additional match, it will be even. So to make things easier, after this round is over there will be 6 on going songs instead of 5.

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen vs. Baba O'Reilly - The Who Pinball Wizard - The Who vs. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones A Day in the Life - The Beatles vs. Dream On - Aerosmith For "Best Classic Rock Song of All Time" these choices are pretty poor. I shoulda nominated More Than a Feeling instead of Styx.
February 13, 200620 yr QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Feb 12, 2006 -> 08:58 PM) Jimi Hendrix gets off on a song he didnt even write... Ugh. I don't think Dylan wrote the way Hendrix played his guitar in that song. The song is Hendrix's adaptation of the Dylan version, which many people think is better than the original. What is wrong with that?

Its asking for the best classic rock song. Writing it doesn't have anything to do with the result this poll is looking for as far as I'm concerned.

I love Hendrix and think his version is better than Dylans.. but COME ON, it isnt Hendrix's song.

Check out Michael Hedges acoustic version on Live On The Double Planet. That is a friggin' KILLER version of that tune. I actually find the choosing getting much easier. Though I agree with the "weak" greatest classic tunes comment. Edited February 13, 200620 yr by Kid Gleason
