6. Baby Come Back by Player
Same reason as above. It takes me right back to a time and place. Great 70's song.

I love The Police. Sting, Andy, and Stewart ruled!!! HELLO??? Reunion???

1. Black Dog by Led Zeppellin
Everyone likes 'Stairway To Heaven', but I think it's overplayed. But I've got to stay with Zeppelin.
