Hot 106 #8: Light My Fire
The Doors get their most iconic track booted this week. "Good," says everyone not still in high school or college.
"(PLEASE NOTE I DID NOT REFER TO THE LYRICS AS 'POETRY')."

Hot 106 #7: Horse with No Name
"NEWSFLASH! Your horse has a name: Neil Young."
Hot 106 #6: Back in Black
Much to the chagrin of sports teams everywhere and anyone else pretending to be tough, "Back in Black" is history... man.
"Bon Scott? A three-quarter turgid Pan in ill-fitting jeans. Musky, damp, cooing and begging sex."
Hot 106 #5: Stairway to Heaven
No "Stairway"?! Denied!
"Here's 'Stairway to Heaven', which Americans have used to jam classic rock radio down listeners' throats for over 40 years. I know this wasn't the intent of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (derisive comments about 'Stairway' from Plant are well-known and difficult to ignore), but the legacy of 'Stairway' in America, at least, cannot be altered."
Hot 106: #3 – Bad to the Bone
Kent and I part ways a bit on this installment of the Hot 106. He's able to come to terms with George Thorogood, but I'm afraid I'm past reconciliation with Thorogood's entire catalog. Either way, classic rock radio would do well to consider our suggestions.
Hot 106 #2: Mrs. Robinson
"Is this even rock? For the life of me, I don't think so."
