Strangely enough I don't have the patience to try and come up with a list. I told somebody once that it was amazing that when I was a teenager I would spend hours painstakingly recording songs from albums onto cassettes to create personalized Best of Compilations but these days I have trouble having enough patience to build a Spotify playlist.
But I am a child of the 70s. As a general rule I would move all 70's classics up and the 90's classics down. Freebird definitely higher. Nirvana definitely lower (I'll admit they were influential but I never got into their music)
I would have Boston's Foreplay/Longtime on the list ahead of More than a Feeling. Maybe throw in Detroit Rock City or Rock and Roll All Nite by Kiss (NEVER EVER would I include I Was Made for Lovin You)

Well, I'd say since I Was Made For Lovin' You is their most popular song and since it was influential in the beginning of Pop Rock, I think it deserves to be on the list.
