K SPECIAL VA - Classic Rock Magazine Presents The 100 Greatest Rock Songs [2020] (7 x CD's)

ONE HUNDRED HEAD BANGIN' CLASSICS!

K  SPECIAL         VA - Classic Rock Magazine Presents The 100 Greatest Rock Songs [2020] (7 x CD's)

Britain's Classic Rock Magazine released a special issue in 2020 dedicated to the 100 Greatest Rock Songs of all time as voted for on Facebook and Twitter by the PEOPLE!

I decided to take it upon myself to compile this truly superb list with the actual songs. A FANTASTIC collection of so many blistering classics that you just never see on most of run of the mill 'rock' compilations clogging up the shelves in HMV and the like. 

As always compiled from the very latest digital remasters and super deluxe editions for the very best sound quality. All original studio versions, no later re-recordings or bootleg live versions here! Over 8 1/2 hours of earth-shattering rock!

Also included, a PDF file of the original magazine issue full of fascinating facts, information and background history on each track in the artwork folder.

Hope you enjoy and don't forget to crank it up LOUD!

  5. Looking forward to this, BB! Reminds me of when I compiled the "Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" way back in 2004, ripping the songs off of CDs. Man, it took me years. I remember that the last one I found (at a library, as I was checking out more disks) was Elvis doing "Mystery Train"! Good times!

  10. K & BB, thank you for the output of such an eglectic selection of music. Not just the recent Classic Rock Magazine set but also the many varied fields you have presented us. Some 25 or 30 years ago a Montreal FM Classic Rock station (CHOM) put out a top 1000 All Time Classic Rock list. Without the aid of computer downloads I attempted to recreate that list into an audio format. I felt lucky that I got over 900 song down. Like other collectors, I must have most of the Classic Rock songs already in my files, but to have them ignorer of the publication is fantastic. Thanks once more.
    One question. Was there a PDF included with the Classic Rock? I know On my book shelves there is a hard copy, so I am not put out in any way.
    Now I’m thinking of completing the CHOM 1000 Classic list.
    LATER

    1. Hi Wicker49,
      It was remiss of me to not include the magazine PDF's that were in fact planned to be included.
      The main page now has a link established. Here it is for your convenience.

      I look forward to your compilation being made available at some stage.
      Cheers.
