1. American Pie by Don McLean
Wow!

10. Highway To Hell by AC/DC
AC/DC's last album with Bon Scott, may he rest in peace.
9. Seeds Of Memory by Terry Reid
Terry Reid, who was originally chosen to be the lead singer of Led Zeppelin but declined, wrote this song years ago and the song still kicks butt...along with many others he has written.
8. Ace Of Spades by Motorhead
For all you metalheads! Black Sabbath is constantly receiving credit for pioneering heavy metal. That's really not true. Motorhead pioneered heavy metal. Black Sabbath just opened the door for 'em.
7. Cocaine by Eric Clapton
Originally done by J.J. Cale, 'Cocaine' is a classic song that Clapton brought to a wider audience. It's a great song.
6. Fat Bottom Girls by Queen
Hands down! Probably the coolest Queen song ever. The vocal harmonization is excellent and the guitar riff is really kickass.
5. Burning For You by Blue Oyster Cult
Of course Blue Oyster Cult was a great band but the band is really known for '(Don't Fear) The Reaper'. Blue Oyster Cult has many great songs and this is one of them.
4. Lay It On the Line by Triumph
Another great song you just want to turn up while you're driving.
3. Hold The Line by Toto
Just a cool song by a band I could care less about.
2. Fight The Good Fight by Triumph
Simply a great song from an overlooked band.
1. Give Me Shelter (It's Just A Shot Away) by The Rolling Stones
Keith and Brian complimented each other more on this song then any other song the two wrote before Brian's early death.

10. New Pony by Bob Dylan
B side of a single in the mid 70's, I cannot remember which one. It's off an album, 'The Times Are Changing' is included on it ....
9. Chrome Sitar by T Rex
Most of Trex's songs are very good, this one sticks in my mind all the time since I listened to it on the B side of New York City.
8. Wear A Fast Gun by Wizzard
This was on the album Wizzards Brew, none were released as a single to my knowledge. Typical of Roy Wood's experiments with different instruments.
7. Starbird by Manfred Mann's Earth Band
Typical 70's stuff. B side of 'Davy's On The Road Again'...or was it 'Blinded By The Light'? Well whichever, but both were released and 'Starbird' was my fave of the three songs and all were great.
6. Living Thing by ELO
This song is the best of ELO's stuff including '109538 Overture'..debut single, ticket to the moon, queen of the hours, well almost all of ELO's music is my fave.
5. If You Go Away by Terry Jacks
Play this after 'She's Gone'!!! I think this is much better than 'Seasons In The Sun'.
4. She's Gone by Black Sabbath
This must be the best softie Sabbath has made. It's the B side of 'Never Say Die'. Play this when your bird has flown the nest...Tears.....
3. Catch The Rainbow by Rainbow
The live version of this is fantastic, ten times better than the original one. But one must find the live version that I have to disagree or agree.
2. Hotel Carlifornia by Eagles
This is excellent stuff... So where was he? In heaven or hell?...Or both? Was the beast the devil??? Who knows but the Eagles... lol
1. No Time by The Move
This reminds of the sea, don't ask me why it just does. Very haunting sound, my all-time favourite from the album California Man.
