Queen wins by a landslide

Behind Queen, the battle was incredibly tight.

Only 187 votes separated 2nd place (Sultans of Swing) from 10th place (Free Bird). Several songs were decided by fewer than a dozen votes, showing just how evenly matched these classic rock legends really are.

Legendary bands filled the Top 10

The final rankings feature some of the greatest names in rock history:

• Queen

• Dire Straits

• Eagles

• Pink Floyd

• Led Zeppelin

• Boston

• Thin Lizzy

• Rush

• Aerosmith

• Lynyrd Skynyrd

  
  

From progressive rock and hard rock to southern rock and arena anthems, every corner of the 1970s is represented.
