There’s apparently not much to talk about these days in college football, as random lists have proliferated—worst uniforms, best uniforms, etc. Adding to the list (of lists), The Best of College Football Blog has a list of the top 10 stadium songs. What is a stadium song, you ask? Well, according to the introduction stadium songs are
the best and most exciting songs played during college football games. These are not fight songs. The songs on this list can either be played by the band or over the stadium loudspeaker.
This seems like a pretty broad category (next up: best songs played on fans’ iPods during the drive to the game), and we only agree with a few of the selections, but at any rate here’s the list.
- Livin’ on a Prayer – Bon Jovi
- Eye of the Tiger – Survivor
- Kernkraft 400 – Zombie Nation
- Rock and Roll, Part 2 – Gary Glitter
- Crazy Train – Ozzy Osbourne
- Hang on Sloopy – The McCoys
- Jump Around – House of Pain
- Hey Baby – Various Artists
- Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Iron Man – Black Sabbath

What, no “Bawitdaba?”
Any list with Bon Jovi at the top automatically disqualifies itself (unless it’s a list of worst or most overplayed 80s hair bands).

I agree—better to build up some good will, and then—if you must—sneak Bon Jovi in at #6 or #7.

Great help on my CD for the games. Thanks.
