My Top 25 Classic Rock Songs!

 102.9 WMGK recently held their “Philly 500”; the countdown of the top 500 classic rocks songs as voted on members of their network.  As I had noted before, I did disagree with some of the top choices on the countdown. Having said that, I decided to do a mini countdown of my own favorite classic rock songs. So I present to you, my audience, my top 25 Classic Songs. Feel free to comment, I would love to hear people’s opinions on my short list here:
