According to the radio show "Rolling Stone's Continuous History of Rock and
Roll", being played on the local radio station this weekend, these are the
rock and roll songs requested most often (in 1982).

Counting Down...

	15  Born To Run			Bruce Springsteen
	14  Jumping Jack Flash		Rolling Stones
	13  Layla			Derek and the Dominoes
	12  Roundabout			Yes
	11  Highway to Hell		AC/DC
	10  A Day In The Life		Beatles
	 9  Cocaine			Eric Clapton
	 8  Purple Haze			Jimi Hendrix
	 7  Light My Fire		Doors
	 6  Won't Get Fooled Again	Who
	 5  Satisfaction		Rolling Stones
	 4  Hey Jude			Beatles
	 3  Another Brick In The Wall	Pink Floyd
	 2  Free Bird			Lynard Skynard

	 1  Stairway To Heaven		Led Zepplin

Here are some thoughts I have about this list, what do you think?
Many of these songs are "long" (>5 minutes).  A number are from groups who,
for some reason or another, haven't made music in more than 10 years.
None of these songs are from the 80's (unless I'm wrong in thinking that both
AC/DC's and Pink Floyd's albums are from 1979).
None of these songs are from earlier than 1965.

What do you think?  Are these truly the best rock songs since the 50's,
or in 2000 will we be mostly requesting songs from the 70's and 80's?
Any other ideas or thoughts?
