S4 Ep.37 Top 20 Classic Rock Songs - SideTracked

🎧 SideTracked: Top 20 Classic Rock Songs of All Time (1965–1999)
SideTracked: When the conversation takes a detour worth following.

Bill and Tony are officially SideTracked.

For this special offshoot episode, we put the album format on pause and take a hard left turn into one of rock’s most dangerous debates: What are the Top 20 Classic Rock Songs of All Time?

Inspired by SiriusXM’s year-end Classic Rock countdown and armed with decades of listening, arguing, and rewinding cassette tapes, we did what we always do when a list doesn’t quite sit right. We made our own.

We enlisted friends and family, gathered rankings, combined the results, and then debated the fine points until the list finally felt right. The final list spans 1965–1999 and is revealed five songs at a time, counting down to number one.

You’ll agree with some picks.
You’ll question others.
You’ll definitely have opinions.

Which is exactly the point.
