VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST NOW!!!
Anyone can vote and all votes count, given the following criteria.
ALL TIME ROCK CRITERIA:
1. No Jazz, Blues, Folk, Country, Gospel, R&B, Swing, Electronic Dance, Hip Hop/Rap, Pop, Ska, Classical, etc. There are seperate lists for these. Exceptions are when these genres are mixed with rock. (Jazz Fusion, Jazz Rock, Blues Rock, Folk Rock, Country Rock, Rap Rock, Pop Rock, Ska Punk...)
2. Early soul/R&B and country up to the mid-1960s are allowed. After the British Invasion, we feel rock branched off into a form of its own. In the early days, it was still closely tied to R&B and country, as Elvis Presley had hits in both of these charts. Therefore, these songs were important to rock's development and allowed.
3. If your top 10 looks suspiciously like this week's top 10, it will be disregarded.
4. The harder it looks like you've worked on it, the more it is considered.
5. Be yourself. Don't worry if it's not a critic favorite. We want this to be a real list with real results.
