And
a-One and a-Two
Hi! Your O/C listmaker here again. This time, it's rock and roll songs with a
countdown. Though it hasn't been made a hard and fast rule, for the most part these
counts are either in the intros or coming back in from a solo/middle eight/chorus, and we
haven't included any live versions of studio songs unless both contain a count. The
point of this is to catch artists doing something they all do in the studio, then having
the balls or the premeditation to leave the count on the final version of the song they
released. Live songs only count if they're rarities, etc. and aren't included on a
studio cut somewhere; we didn't count such things as the Beatles "All Together
Now" which includes a count as part of the lyrics but not an actual rhythmic cue.
Please, by all means feel free to throw in
your own contributions if you can think of some that I/we haven't, or if you don't
remember the count in the song that's listed:
