Planet Rock Top 70 Rock Songs

 Planet Rock Top 70

 This is a list of the top 70 rock songs as voted by the listeners of Planet Rock. Must admit I am very surprised at what came out at number one. Not one Genesis song among the 70 which I find very strange however there are some big names and big songs that do not show up at all. One entry I cannot understand is Tenacious D with Tribute which I do not get at all, maybe I am missing something. Anyway here is the list in descending order, pleased to say my favourite song ended up at number 3.
