#1: Kashmir – Led Zeppelin https://youtu.be/sfR_HWMzgyc via @YouTube
“Oh Father of the four winds, fill my sails…”
#3: The Who – Love Reign Over Me https://youtu.be/gDbAtWpoA6k via @YouTube
#4: Led Zeppelin- Dazed and Confused https://youtu.be/-rmtJ6-EY1E via @YouTube
The essential White blues. You thought the hipsters were about “free love?” Try following this guy while lied to.
#6 Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (with lyrics) https://youtu.be/DPL_SV3n7IU via @YouTube
‘Nuff said. A walk on part in The Wall” for the lead role in a cage. Like Achilleus’ choice, too.
#8: Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video) https://youtu.be/fJ9rUzIMcZQ via @YouTube
“So, you think you can love me and leave me to die?”
Well, that is what tragic love is, and most is tragic. It is because of our guilt, our part as human in the murder of Cain, and an expiation. See the trial? Simon says the same: “Somewhere They Can’t Find Me.”
#9: Eric Burden and the Animals – House of the Rising Sun https://youtu.be/fS5PN5eYCsw via @YouTube
Is this the first “Rock” song? From penance blues. The Hippies get their ethics from the blues, as in Steppenwolf, “The Pusher.”
#12: Uriah Heep – Easy Livin’ https://youtu.be/DKxZY0DIxIk via @YouTube
Love is of course the activity of the image of God in man, and the principle of lyric poetry. Hence a song about falling in love can also be about the breakthrough that is salvation: We thought “Christian” rock bands should ALL play this (but they don’t like wizards?)
#13: Alice Cooper – School’s Out [Lyrics] [HD] https://youtu.be/z4eJHyi13mQ via @YouTube
The profundity of the song: going with “18,” meant to be a high school graduation anthem, taken from a gangster movie where the Phrase “School’s out” means “now things get real.”
#14: The Who : The Real Me https://youtu.be/FTwSKepkmdE via @YouTube
Jimmy the Mod goes to the doctor, then the mother, then the preacher in an attempt to cure his teen age Quadrophrenia. Given that the preacher showed him “to the Golden Gate,” one sees what Plant means about the evangelicals in Stairway. Not that Jimmy needs a robed exorcist! The plea of Jimmy is surely not comprehensible to our science of psychiatry, which is why music is better at the healing of the soul than our over-paid “doctors.” They killed Nick Drake, for Chrissakes!
#15 Beatles Day Tripper
Is this the first Beatles excursion from pop into pure rock, as distinct from pop psychadelia? Twist and Shout? Work it on out! But romantic dis-illusionment is a motion of the soul, and distinct from the dancing of the body. It is hard to find Beatles doing noisy rock with high lyrics. Actually, number fifteen should be “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
#16 Pink Floyd – Hey You https://youtu.be/jQcBwE6j09U via @YouTube
One wonders if maybe people who think woman-ness is a primary qualification for intell. and security work are really in the right business to begin. Granted it is ditto for maleness. … Not like the liberal arts departments for the past 20 years, safe to use for gender politics.
Caption: George III when he/she read Jefferson: (Or was it when he learned his favorite petticoat was not back yet from the cleaners?)
‘Least ‘e remembered t’ poof ‘is f’n whig! Dudes were cross-dressin back then! French fashions.
Calley the cat has seen it- the fireworks on the Fourth- 19 times, but wants me to make it stop “Not till the Redcoats go home.”
Man, there’s skirmishes with Redcoats all about in the woods here by the burbs, where the neighbors set off more fireworks than the amount of money I live off in a year. I tell the squirrels et. al, : “Freemen feed the birds and squirrels better!”
Did I mention that “King” George wears tights? Poofs his wig at the vanity? Lets his horse ride him? Liberty or death, and make the other sucker die for his, come fight freemen, you slaves, or join us against tyranny!
Now, a word from a direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson:
#17: Somebody to Love Jefferson Airplane:
When the garden flowers, baby are dead, yes and
Your mind, your mind is so full of red
Don’t you want somebody to love
Don’t you need somebody to love
Wouldn’t you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
Yeah, but in your head, baby
I’m afraid you don’t know where it is…
Tears are running down and down and down your breast
And your friends, baby they treat you like a guest…

These are to be the 76 candidates for the top 17 Rock songs of all time. My first list is in the order that I thought of them, to be reshuffled and selected. I do like the method of spreading a wide net to catch the best:
#76: Here’s some we left out: Hendrix “Third Stone from the Sun” is available only with the amplified message from the aliens on Youtube. Maybe we can get it off “Experience.”
#75 Stay – Station to Station – David Bowie https://youtu.be/MNnR9s7NX-4 via @YouTube
#74 Pink Floyd – See Emily Play https://youtu.be/7c0EDM-Yu9o via @YouTube
#73 White Stripes – Blue Orchid https://youtu.be/QKntY8WkNYQ via @YouTube
# 71 The Byrds Eight Miles High
This is about when the American reverberation of the British invasion landed in London by airplane.
# 70 Amboy Dukes– Journey To The Center Of The Mind https://youtu.be/Beh1ipK3hN0 via @YouTube
This is Crazy Ted BEFORE he took up hunting! Dude did not learn that from a journey to the center of mind! Oh well, he never said we’d MAKE it !
Beyond thought and “what” is of course interesting, because the Lord too is said to be beyond being or logos. He calls it the center, too, as of a circle. He warns of the danger of becoming trapped in the products of the imagination: Jung speaks of getting “possessed” by an “archetype-” the sources of the products of the imagination in the knowledge that is within the soul. We integrate the contents, by understanding, or else these disintegrate us. Hence the danger of psychedelic drugs especially for those who do too much are not friends with themselves, and do not have the patience to sleep off a bad trip. One wonders if Ted did not get possessed as by an Artemis the huntress archetype! Apologies from Michigan!
#69: The Bob Seger System – White Wall https://youtu.be/1CNDIl0mbd8 via @YouTube
This whole album is a classic, with most of favorite Bob on it.
#68: Creed – Beautiful https://youtu.be/8Otwa3exj2k via @YouTube Self indulgeance: (Not as famous as it should be).

#39: The Who ~ Substitute https://youtu.be/lc7RcgMfYng via @YouTube
Protesters at Richard Nixon’s July 4th celebration at the Lincoln Memorial in 1970. #BoycottTrump4thOfJuly

…and are doing it now, because WE DON”T GET IT! Could Facebook cause a civil war with targeted marketing? Well, do you think Putin is more villainous but less stupid than Zuck?
Git yer guys in the executive agencies and secure elections and communications from data collection and targeted interference. Restore the security of the 4th Amendment, or you will never have another free election. They messed with the voters themselves, channeled opinion,
Trump would have been eliminated in the primaries. Instead, Putin ran him up the flagpole, and the stupid Americans salute. I do not want to hear another “D” assume they lost a fair election and discuss adjustments on that basis.
The cruelty is the goal. It’s called “deterrence” – a policy stance that if our country inflicts enough pain on refugees, they will think twice before believing America is worth their dreams & aspirations. Only policy change can end cruelty, not blank checks to the status quo.

We cannot be proud of our military might because it no longer upholds justice, the “end of government,” according to Madison: “‘Till liberty be lost in the pursuit.”
Last surviving prosecutor at Nuremberg trials says Trump’s family separation policy is ‘crime against humanity’
IMPEACH!! REMOVE!! VOID!! This is the consequence of our not acting according to the truth: Trump and the Trumpsters are tyrants. Our tradition of Liberty does not allow that we acquiesce.
#Nuremburg -> Safe to assume THIS man knows exactly what he’s talking about. #TrumpsCrimesAgainstHumanity
Notice that the best songs and the best “Classic Rock” is not pure rock at all.
Pretty good way to conclude. I’m trying to stop the list, but it keeps flowing. We’re on the edges of the Genre, though. No more stuff like Entwistle’s base in “Real Me,” etc, stuff that might make the top 10 and is not mellow, but ROCK, for the Fourth, like fireworks!

#00: The Jimi Hendrix Experience – All Along The Watchtower (Audio) https://youtu.be/TLV4_xaYynY via @YouTube
I also like Van Halen’s Kinks, but AC/DC is just too ugly to watch. I turn off the radio if they play it, especially on Sunday, let alone the Fourth!
Amusing to see the death metal and Ozzie types, Ja, we don’t do them: except some early Sabbath, Paranoid: Sweet Leaf and: “Will you fear when death is near, and say that you may as well worship the sun?”

I’m still procrastinating the Mueller report- hard to read on line. I’ll send Tweets out, though, of highlights, if I get to it. I’m still trying to write my paragraph on the context of Arthur, 516-542 AD, what was going on then in Rome, France and Byzantium.

#62: Cream – I Feel Free https://youtu.be/Qb_Uu0eTNWk via @YouTube
Some Redcoats were still about last night, bomb bursting in air, gorgeous- George- in the field across the street, here in the burbs, where the rich pop off enough fireworks to support a migrant or two- in addition to the ones we are trying to house and failing: LET MY PEOPLE GO!
#61: Here’s some we left out: Hendrix “Third Stone from the Sun” is available only with the amplified message from the aliens on Youtube. Maybe we can get it off “Experience.”
*Woodstock Joni Mitchell as done by Crosby, Stills Nash and Young.
