So did anyone bother to watch the five hour long VH1 countdown of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs? And if so what were your opinions?

Personally, I think it was stupid as hell. Most of the songs weren't even hard rock. Songs like:

More Than A Feeling
by Boston
Give It Away
by Red Hor Chili Peppers
and there were countless metal genre songs on there. VH1 needs to get their act together.

I saw that. I think Welcome to the Jungle is #1. It's a classic. I watched all 5 hours of it.

You clearly have very little taste in music and need to expand your hard rock collection or become educated in what good music is lol

If you had good taste then you probably wouldn't have agreed with Welcome to the Jungle. Yeah it's a classic and everyone knows it, but it's the "100 greatest" not the "100 most well known". Led Zeppelin is regarded as the band that actually created hard rock. WIthout them, VH1, probably wouldn't have the countdown. One of their songs should have been #1. I asked a bunch of people what they thought and all of them except for one agreed that Welcome to the Jungle should not have been #1.
