Answer :
Are you looking just for HITS? Because, honestly, the Eagles' "The Last Resort" blew "Hotel California" out of the water as far as quality of song goes -- but it wasn't ever a "hit."

Good luck on the project, that's quite ambitious!

EDIT: thanks for the answer.

1947: "Cool Water" - Sons of the Pioneers
1951: "It's All in the Game" - Tommy Edwards (also works for 1958)
1960: "Only the Lonely" - Roy Orbison
1969: "Up on Cripple Creek" - the Band or "Loan Me a Dime" by Boz Scaggs (a lot of people consider this Duane Allman's greatest guitar work ever)
1972: "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" - Elton John
1981: "Tempted" - Squeeze
1983: "Everyday I Write the Book" - Elvis Costello
1984: "The Boys of Summer" - Don Henley
1985: "Road to Nowhere" - Talking Heads

Answer :
1997 was a great year. One of my favorites actually. All that is a lot to take in, but I'll throw out a couple suggestions for the gaps I noticed, and suggest that in my opinion Paul Simon's the Boy in the Bubble was the track of 1986.

97, some highlights (and I'll try to keep it mostly on the radar):
Blur - Beetlebum (though most would say Song 2 from that record)
Built to Spill - I Would Hurt a Fly
Elliott Smith - Angeles
Pavement - Transport is Arranged (more might say Shady Lane though)
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Folk Implosion - Insinuation

2005:
Mars Volta - the Widow
Sufjan Stevens - Jacksonville
(hmm, 2005 is kind of tough. not a bad year, but not a ton of songs specifically that jump out)

I guess I would also suggest
2001 - the Shins - Caring is Creepy (or perhaps New Slang)

Answer :
This is an amazing list you have going on here. It has pretty much all the coolest songs of the century. The only thing I have a disagreement with is for 2008. I love rock n roll train but there is no way it should be picked to represent that year. I think:

2008 - "I'm Yours" Jason Mraz






Answer :
At least this list recognizes the best song of '75 is Kashmir and this song is the best song of the past 100 years





Answer :
2005 has to be Holiday by Green Day
1991 Needs to be Even Flow by Pearl Jam

other than that everything is good





Answer :
mad props for Rock n roll Train, but the winner of 2008 is (unfortunately) Viva La Vida.

also 1997-Bittersweet Symphony or Everlong (perhaps)





Answer :
You arent using any of the answers I gave you a while ago.

One by Metallica would be 1988

Royal Carribean Rhapsody of the seas?

We are going on a cruise through Royal Carribean on Rhapsody of the seas! I was just wondering what it was like? I have been on one other cruise through Carnival and loved it. Is the rock wall on the boat free, or is there an added cost for it? What other kinds of activities are there? Is the boat really nice, and how are the shows? Just any general information you have I would like to read, but I really want to know if there is an extra cost for the rock wall?





Answer :
There's no extra charge for the rock wall. Here's the Roll Call from Rhapsody is you want to meet other cruisers that are going on the same trip you are as well as a link for reviews about Rhapsody. I hope you can get some answers to your questions. Bon Voyage!!

Answer :

Whether it's your first time on a rock wall or if you're a seasoned climber, there are challenges for all levels of experience. We'll provide all of the equipment, including shoes, helmets and harnesses. All you need to do is bring a pair of socks and, of course, your sense of adventure.

For beginners, we offer one-on-one instruction by appointment at no charge, as well as beginner climbing sessions. For those who are more experienced, there are advanced climbing sessions, speed-climbing competitions and for teens, teen tournaments.

Rock climbing is free for all guests and reservations aren't necessary; just check your Cruise Compass and Daily Planner for hours. While rock climbing can be fun for kids and adults, (*Climbers must be 6 years of age or older and minors must be accompanied by an adult.*) We also ask each climber to sign a waiver.





Answer :
I don't know the minimum age but both my daughters climbed the rock Wall on the Rhapsody two years ago at ages 8 and 10.

They have small shoes and helmets on hand.

My girls were really jazzed about climbing the rock wall because of all of the commercials.

But once there, the experience was tough for them because the wind was blowing hard and the rock wall is at the back of the ship. They only climbed it once.

They have great assistants on the ground to help you climb up.





Answer :
i think it is more of a height requirement...but young kids did climb like 7 - 8 yrs old......also if you are talking real young....some of the ships have a mini wall in the kids club...the voyager of the seas did
