Q:
Do you answer questions about music videos? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A:
No.
The purpose of my site is to help people with questions about
recordings |
|
|
of Classic
Rock. Specifically, the years 1956 - 1986. While video was
around |
|
|
for part
of that period, it is not may area of focus. However, if you
wish to use |
|
|
a
reference to a popular music video of the early to mid 80's as a
clue towards |
|
|
a song you
are looking for, that's fine - as long as you have some other
info too. |

Q:
What are your rankings based on? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A:
My top hits and One Hit Wonders sections are all based on the US
Billboards charts. |
|
|
Of course,
various sources will have slight discrepancies on hits by the
decade depending |
|
|
on the
rating system they use, especially in the case of ties, but they
will all be in the |
|
|
same ball
park. As for the One Hit Wonders, Billboard states that any
artist who has |
|
|
a single
break in the top 40 only once in their career is considered a One
Hit Wonder. |
|
|
This has
nothing to do with an artists album sales or popularity. |

Q:
Your list of "Who Sang" songs seems to be incomplete. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A:
Believe it or not - someone actually emailed me about that!
Ok -#1, my list of "Who Sang" songs is |
|
|
based on
requests I have received from visitors,. How could
it possibly be incomplete? |
|
|
#2, even if this person were clairvoyant
and knew I'd received requests that I |
|
|
had not
included in my list, I make no claims that I will include each
and every song in that list. |
|
|
In fact, I
make no claims that that list is anything but a compilation of
songs that visitors have been |
|
|
looking
for in an attempt to help others who might look for the same
song. There is no possible way |
|
|
for it to
be a complete list in any way shape or form. |

Q:
I
have a rock/music related site. Will you add my link to your
links page? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A:
Sure. Go the the
Links & Rings
page and click on Link Exchange. |
|
|
I am willing to
do a link/banner exchange with most sites. |
|
|
Also, you
may join my Top Site List - Raven's Rock & Roll Heaven to help
promote your site. |

Q:
|
Why don't you answer
questions about songs in commercials any more? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: |
Because it had gotten to the point
where people were asking me about all types of music from |
|
|
|
commercials all over the
world. Most of them had nothing to do with classic rock music. |
|
|
|
And
many
of them were commercials I couldn't possibly have seen as they were outside the
US. |
|
|
|
And despite
practically begging people to give me lyrics and details, not to just email me
and ask |
|
|
|
"What's the song in the
current XYZ commercial?", that's what was happening on a nearly daily
|
|
|
|
basis. That is not
what this site was set up for. I didn't want to become the Commercial Song
site |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was not an easy
decision to make, because occasionally, there were people who took the time |
|
|
|
to provide ample
information and did inquire only about those ads with classic rock songs.
But |
|
|
|
there was just so much
frustration over the very many who didn't respect my requests to give |
|
|
|
details and keep it within
the classic rock era that I felt I had no choice. |

Q: |
Why can't I right click on
any of your pages? I wanted to make a copy of one of your lists. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A: |
I don't allow right
clicking to copy my pages because I have found entire sections of my site |
|
|
|
copied and posted on other
websites with people claiming it is their own work. It took many |
|
|
|
months and countless hours
to type out all of the lists you find here. While I want to help people, |
|
|
|
I don't want to help
others create websites by stealing my hard work. I realize there are
people |
|
|
|
who just want to copy the
info for their own personal use, but the sad reality is that for every |
|
|
|
honest person, there is at
least one dishonest person. |
