Thanks for reading, Sam. Would love a Bob Seger Herb Sunday!

This is awesome. Thanks. I don't listen to a lot of classic rock anymore but Bob Seger will always be on the playlist.

Great list! But man "Fire Lake" is just not for me :)

Completely understand - I knew it was a risk (and rated so high!) I know plenty of people who agree and think the lyrics suck. They might be right to some degree, but I sort of love it for its over the top description.

One and Two are where they belong! Otherwise I'd put them both as ONE, thank you for bringing back sweet memories!

Seger. I would rank "In Your Time" in my Top One.

Great list. I might move a few up or down but it's tough to argue with the songs. I'd personally have Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight off of Nine Tonight and Get Out of Denver from Live Bullet but I'm not sure what songs I'd take off your list.

Great suggestions, particularly the Nine Tonight version. “Betty Lou” was on the list at certain points in this process haha, it just barely got left off.

Great list. I might change the order on a couple but that’s an individual choice and it’s your list. Seger and Don Henley are both underestimated as lyricists. Nice job.

I agree with most of your pics. There are a few that I didn't recognize. I would say my two favorites are Old Time Rock and Roll and Turn The Page.

Tough to pick a favorite from so many good songs! I think Turn the Page is right for #1. I'd put Night Moves and Hollywood Nights higher on my personal list

So many good ones on there but you’re 100% correct with #1.
