You really can't set your watch to VH1's viewers. How to explain their recent list of "100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs" intersecting at a few points with their own "40 Most Awesomely Bad Metal Songs Ever" countdown (Warrant's "Cherry Pie", Winger's "Seventeen", Autograph's "Turn Up the Radio", and Europe's ultra-weak "The Final Countdown" among them)?
It's bad enough the "100 Greatest" has a bunch of lame hair farmer tunes on there--in addition to the aformentioned songs the cheese factor is upped courtesy of Ratt, Lita Ford, Skid Row, etc--but the inclusion of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" is just plain ridiculous.
(Also, is it not much of a coincidence that the hair merchants and/or old-timers rarely have anything positive to say about the '90s entries on the list? Still some bad blood there, huh?)
We're guessing VH1 wants to create a bit of suspense by not announcing on their site which songs made the list, so Stereogum (!) has the rundown of the 100 Greatest here.
