I am marvelling over how much pop music doesn't stand the test of time. Look at just about every one so far, and how many of those songs do you actually listen to or hear played nowadays. Yes, music from bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osborne, just to mention a scant few, which were not included on ANY of these lists, are still avidly listened to and heard on classic rock stations, in films, etc.
I think y'meant "yet".  And I will point out that the "Top 10" was rarely AOR.

I'd agree with those sentiments. 
I agree also but don't forget Led Zeppelin didn't release any singles so that's why they're not in any lists.  but yeah, all the above are real 'album bands', and those are the ones more likely to have musical longevity than singles artists who are more often than not most well known for their greatest hits compilations (hello Tom Jones...). obviously there's exceptions like Beatles etc
Good points. I know that AOR bands didn't tend to release singles, but I was marvelling mainly over how much single-oriented pop music tends not to stand the test of time, whether the song is great or not.

Stairway to Heaven got a fair amount of airplay although is wasn't a single and was a far longer track than was customary for airplay, mostly on more AOR oriented rock stations in the 70's. There was a theory I read somewhere that the popularity of Stairway was due in part because a) it was a long song, giving those drugged out 70's rock DJs and opportunity to disappear to smoke a bowl/do a line/etc. and b) Led Zeppelin was such rock royalty that it was the only song of such length where they could justify that amount of airplay. I wonder how true that is. It amuses me to think that the apetite for drugs by rock DJs in the 70's is partly responsible for the popularity and overplaying of this rock staple.

1985 (possibly 1984).  I know I was in high school at the time.  This list should disprove Circus' theory that pop music was better in the 1980s!

'91  ?

I know it would be easy to cheat and google, but that's my guess. I know Naughty By Nature's first album is '91 and so is Use Your Illusion. but sometimes singles come out way in advance or way after an album though...

Pilgermann I'm guessing 1982.  Those songs were all super popular when I was in high school.  Which is depressing.

That's correct!

You're making me feel old . . . and sadly some of these are among the more recent tunes in my iPod . . .

I would definately say 1984. 1985 is a bit late for some of these. I would guess Relax was just entering the top 10 because many of the rest were released in 1983.
