Spinditty: As 85 maiores músicas de classic rock

Em 14/11, postamos "TimeOut: As 28 melhores músicas de classic rock em todos os tempos" e, indo atrás de uma segunda opinião sobre o tema, chegamos a uma matéria criada por Kelley Marks para o site Spinditty em 16/07. Só não esperávamos tantas indicações como em "85 Greatest Classic Rock and Roll Songs". Antes de irmos a fundo, um adendo: questionávamos o porquê do "25" na URL da fonte até começarmos a elaborar o texto fechado em oitenta títulos, fazermos uma pausa e encontrarmos mais cinco na retomada – ao acessá-la, talvez já tenha noventa ou cem...

Melhores e Maiores - Mais Listas

Entre as escolhas, há três de: The Rolling Stones e The Beatles, fora uma de Paul McCartney e outra de John Lennon; enquanto Nirvana e Queen (o "campeão", soltando um breve spoiler), aparecem duas vezes, mesmo caso de Hall & Oates, de modo inusitado: um cover e um original! Agora, se quer repetição a valer, temos: Paul Young, The Young Rascals, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young e Young Americans (75), trabalho de David Bowie – curtiu, jovem? Sem contar as "bands": Dave Matthews Band; The Band; Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band; e The Marshall Tucker Band!

Provando a atemporalidade do estilo, a seleção vai de 1955 a 1998 e as décadas de 50, 60, 70, 80 e 90 trazem respectivamente: 5, 23, 30, 17 e 10 representantes. Os anos de grande incidência? 1967, 68, 70 e 75, com quatro registros cada! Aliás, que tal contextualizarmos dando os critérios em livre tradução nossa?

"A lista tenta incluir algumas das maiores melodias do rock em todos os tempos, todas clássicas. Em outras palavras, músicas lançadas antes de 2000. Tenha em mente também que ela inclui somente rock mainstream (e todos sabemos o que isso significa, certo?), seja rock leve ou pesado, mas certamente não pop, rhythm and blues, soul, funk, blues, hip-hop, disco, jazz, country, bluegrass ou música clássica – apenas o bom e velho rock ‘n’ roll e ponto final, ok? Além disso, a maioria destas composições saíram em singles, então suas exposições foram maiores do que outras disponíveis somente em álbuns".
