70s Classic Rock Christmas Challenge - Let Divination Decide!

[Mycroft]

This is very straightforward, it is a tribute to a time when real music was played on guitars by people with very long hair and extremely questionable taste in clothes. All you will need are;

1) A divinatory tool of your own choosing
2) An air guitar
3) A pair of sunglasses
4) A crate of Jack Daniel's
5) Six or seven naked groupies
6) A dwarf wandering around with a bowl full of cocaine on his head.

Below we have nine fully authenticated 70s Rock Classics. Each one has been carefully wrapped in a box with a YouTube link inside, and the challenge is to determine the winner of the title "Ultimate 70s Rock Classic"

The contenders are (in alphabetical order);

AC/DC - Highway To Hell
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Boston - More Than A Feeling
Eagles - Hotel California
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird
Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Rainbow - Since You Been Gone​

Please note that after being wrapped, the boxes were all shuffled about, so even I don't know which box contains which song;

So, all you have to do is your divinatory type thing to choose which box contains the winner, who will be awarded the title "Ultimate 70s Rock Classic". Now you don't have to go into too many details about how you arrived at your entry, but the reason we are doing it 'blind' is because we are divining the will of the Gods and Goddesses of rock'n'roll, and not making a personal choice.

Thus we want to see answers along the lines of;

"I vote for box No 1 because The King of Wands declares it to be the winner!" or
"I vote for box No 2 because The I Ching pronounces it to be the greatest of all!"​

What we do not want to see are answers such as;

"I vote for ******** because my dog Mr Woofles used to bark along to this" or
"I vote for ******** because the lead singer's got a lovely bum".​

Multiple entries are allowed, but you must use a different divinatory tool for each one. Anyone not observing these rules will have headphones glued to their ears and be forced to listen to Katy Perry for a week. Right that's the niceties out of the way. So, sunglasses on, air guitar at the ready, a quick swig of rock'n'roll mouthwash, and away we jolly well go!!

[PathWalker]

Box number six - pulled a whistle from the junk oracle, added up the numercial values of the letters and continued adding the digits until a single number reached (starting with 23, 8, 9, 19, 20, 12,nd 5)

 

[theboomz]

Box number nine, because my number is nine. It's a reoccurring number in my life to the point where it's scary, and I don't have a deck near me that I want to open at the moment.

 

[upawell]

I vote for Box 8 because my ocular nerve keeps getting drawn to that box.

But I'll be back later to submit a vote determined by my pendulum.

Anyone not observing these rules will have headphones glued to their ears and be forced to listen to Katy Perry for a week.

You're sadistic.

 

[ana luisa]

I vote for 8 as well because I got the Devil on its slot. Meatloaf´s tune ?

 

[kmartin60]

my new brass?/copper pendilum got to rocking away saying that BOX 2! is the greatest 70's classic of all! (Also it quite liked the BOSTON tune the most!) hmmm very predictive maybe?

Will dig out some other divi tools to see how the music rocks them! winks grabbing my glass of jim beam, shades and my cranking the music up!......(ROFLMBO)

 

[Babalon Jones]

Well this is fun! Though a few of those boxes are dubious

My tarot app chose box 9 via the 9 of swords. The card shows a great gaping hellmouth with swords for teeth, dripping venom, with very phallic handles. Based on that imagery, my guess is gotta be Sabbath, or at least ACDC or Meatloaf, right?

My trusty Finger of Eenie Meenie chose box 5 twice in a row, though. Which likely means I really want or think Zeppelin for the win.

 

[upawell]

I'm sticking with box 8!

 

[Mycroft]

Though a few of those boxes are dubious

Yes, it's really tricky trying to whittle down to only nine - in the end I tried to put together a decent spread representing a spectrum of great rock music.

You're sadistic.

Oh no, being forced to listen to this for a week would be sadistic;

[druyan]

Well, I used my Halloween Tarot and drew 8 of bats, if Ozzy/Paranoid isn't in spot 8 I'll.....well I won't bite the head off of anything but I will be surprised!


GREAT challenge!
