You love to share your hot takes on music. You share them with us all the time. Now we're taking those hot takes and counting them down with the Thursday Top 9 at 9.

Every Thursday morning at 9:00, we'll count down the Top 9 of ____...something. It will be different every week. So be sure to like us on Facebook to see the questions of the week, and then come back to this page, as we'll post the poll for you to vote on who deserves the coveted #1 spot on this week's Top 9 at 9.

The Thursday Top 9 at 9 is Presented by Mel's Pub in Milan

It's Father's Day week! And to celebrate dads, we're counting down the Top 9 Best Dad Rock Songs. Dad Rock can be different things to different people. This might help define it for you a bit; these are the most popular Dad Rock bands.

The majority of dad rock is that rock we listened to back in the day before becoming dads that we still listen to today. And generally, it's not that heavy. But, a lot of different takes came in on our Facebook page, so we got as many of them on the poll below as we could.

Here is the poll to vote on. As you can see, after you vote, you will not be able to see who has received the most votes. Those are hidden because the point of this is that you listen on Thursday morning at 9:00 to hear the entire countdown. That's called appointment listening.

And because it's so hard to choose just one...you can actually pick 3 from the list below.
