Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" was once modern rock.

Rock Me Amadeus is a song about how classical music was the modern rock of its day. It's now a classic.

A redo of that would probably have a bump at 1994.

I'm actually surprised it wasn't already there. Maybe that's why Randall didn't pick top 25.

I feel that in '78 it was a bit of a retro style song. Modern rock in that era sounded much different. The sax and piano hearkened back to the 50s and even 60s. He wrote a song that sounded like it was from the era he missed is how I always interpreted it.
