(Finished January 17th, 2024) Part 1 of The Top 200 Rock Songs of the 70s: 200-184

Hello,

I’m using the website ultimateclassicrock.com/70s-songs/ as the foundation for this series of blogs. This is a very rough ranking of the Top 200 70s rock songs from this Ultimate Classic Rock countdown. I won’t be able to get all the rankings done tonight. I will do the best I can.

184) Elvis Costello “Radio Radio”:

185) Thin Lizzy “Jailbreak”:

186) Neil Young & Crazy Horse “Powderfinger”:

187) Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)”:

188) Bob Dylan “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”:

Bonus song: my favorite version of “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”, by none other than the amazing Guns N’ Roses:

189) Kiss “Black Diamond”:

190) Ted Nugent “Stranglehold”:

191) Harry Nilsson “Jump Into The Fire”:

192) Van Morrison “Caravan”:

A band that featured Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart. 193) The Faces “Ooh La La”:

Again I’ve never understood the lure and love of Dylan. 194) Bob Dylan “Tangled Up In Blue”:

195) The Allman Brothers Band “Whipping Post”:

196) Neil Young “Cortez The Killer”:

This is Genesis when both Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel were in the band. 197) Genesis “The Lion Lies Down On Broadway”:

A nice little ditty from one of the most overrated bands of all-time. 198) Grateful Dead “Ripple”:

I have never understood the appeal of Iggy Pop. This song certainly didn’t provide clarification. 199) The Stooges “Search and Destroy”:

200) The Velvet Underground “Sweet Jane”:
