I'm really surprised that I haven't seen "Don't stop believing" by Journey on this list. Its pretty hard to find someone who doesn't know the words to it.

....Just a smalltown girl....living in a lonely world...

Isn`t it "profit he`s made on your dreams"?

 

[daredevil]

Lol! I know what you mean. There are songs that after 30 years I still don`t know what they`re singing (like Led Zeppelin`s Trampled Underfoot) so I just sing along phonetically. :toothy10:

Oh boy..... I've been avoiding this thread like the the plague. Seven pages before anything RUSH is mentioned, but yet the same old Zeppelin & Skynard songs are repeated. Tsk-Tsk.... I'm, surprised at you guys.

Picking a favorite song is like picking the favorite hair on your head. While I'm not particularly interested in "classic" rock (heard it, know it, what else ya got...) I do enjoy talent in my music. Hotel California: overplayed (like all classic rock...) but that song has probably THE best written, phrased, and recorded guitar solo ever. The Steve Vai mention caught me by suprise, as did the Les Claypool references. But really.... In-A-Gadda-Divita? Even in my drug-fueled youth that song sucked. Doesn't sound any better sober.

My opinion on a favorite song... does it matter? Someone will hate it too!

But here's one anyway. No fancy video..... just an explanation of who we are, and who we can become.:
