9. Lola by The Kinks
No matter how many times I hear this song or try to sing along with it, I still crack up.
8. We're An American Band by Grand Funk Railroad
I love the percussion in this one. Also, you can't go wrong with a band whose name was inspired by a railroad (Grand Trunk Western).
7. Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
I should probably have this one higher. It's art.
6. Anarchy In The Uk by The Sex Pistols
Punk music at it's finest.
5. Cross Eyed Mary by Jethro Tull
A hard rock band that incorporates the flute gets my vote.
4. More Than A Feeling by Boston
One word: awesome.
3. Funk #49 by James Gang
Joe Walsh has to be one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
2. Never Been Any Reason by Head East
I always have to crank it up to "eleven" when I hear this song on the radio.
1. Seven Bridges Road by The Eagles
My favorite Eagles song. You can never go wrong with perfect harmonies and the acoustic guitar.

10. Old Time Rock And Roll by Bob Seger
9. Black Water by Doobie Brothers
8. Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd
7. Hotel California by Eagles
6. Rock And Roll All Nite by KISS

4. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
3. Imagine by John Lennon
2. American Pie by Don McLean
1. Stairway To Heaven by Pink Floyd

10. Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Not my favorite S&G, but the rest were all 60's. Fantastic for me if I'm in the right mood.
9. 5:15 by The Who
Great great album (Quadrophenia), and the song is a high point.
8. Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton
They didn't play it at my prom, but I got to dance to it that night anyway. It's very mushy, but I don't care. I've gotten over the notion I'm a pussy.
7. Layla by Derek And The Dominoes
I still get reminded of the movie Goodfellas when hearing this. Song and movie both kick ass.
6. A Case Of You by Joni Mitchell
Another one of those songs that's got a load of memories attached. I guess it doesn't matter if those memories are good or bad, song value goes flying.
5. Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen
Acoustic, soft, slow, pretty? I LIKE!
4. Life On Mars? by David Bowie
Best David Bowie. Like most of the other songs from Hunky Dory, it's got such an incredible chorus that takes the listener up and down and just close your eyes and cream your pants.
3. Shine A Light by The Rolling Stones
Best Stones. Bar None, not Satisfaction, not Brown Sugar, not even Sympathy for the Devil takes me on a ride like "Shine a Light."
2. In The Light by Led Zeppelin
I'm a big fan of Led Zeppelin, but I've listened to them for a long time, and I have a pretty good idea of what songs I won't wear out after repeated listenings. I still like Stairway to Heaven plenty, but that song doesn't need any more recognition, this one does.
1. Shelter From The Storm by Bob Dylan
This song just brings back so many memories I don't feel right putting it below anything. Wonderful song, subtle melody. It's pretty, but not over-catchy so I've never gotten tired of it.

10. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
It's nice and long!
9. Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd
the guitar in this is so captivating.
8. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
I don't know if it was the "bis milah" or the "Mamamia", but this song sticks with me.
7. More Than A Feeling by Boston
