SIRIUS sattellite radio has a station called Classic Rock that
recently counted down the Classic Rock top 100 songs, as voted by its
listeners. We listen to it in the car once in awhile, as my son,
chiefly, enjoys this kind of music more and more.
The person programming this radio station must have a narrower music
interest than even Raja...

Not really. There must be more than 10 bands on that list ;-)

Come on! I listen to a lot more obscure artists and I like them a lot better than the established classic rock artists. And I am not even a big fan of classic rock.

It's a typical "Classic Rock" top 100 list, I'm afraid. All the songs
that have been beaten to death!

Agreed!

Jimi Hendrix is apparently the only black person who was recording on
vinyl during this era. It strikes me how segregated music tastes have
become as part of narrowcasting...

Segregation is only a small part of it. We don't have listeners any
more, we have *specialists*.
I'm a stoner doom metal guy, personally ;-)

Top rated Deep Purple song is "My Woman from Tokyo"...hmmmm. How many
people voted?

If I had to pick a Deep Purple song, that would be my choice. Either
that or Highway Star. That's one of the few bands for which they
avoided the obvious cliche (Smoke On The Water, in this case).
And actually, the list has more Beatles songs than I'd have expected,
based on some of the CR stations I've heard. Count your blessings!

Any list which doesn't have Beatles topping it or having the most count is void by default, right... haha. These days lists are made so that they seem valid... people need to get out their safe zone.

Hey woggy, nobody gives a toss about what you think.

Go back to the basement and play with your Chris Squire dildo.
