For me:
1, Wake Up - RATM
2, Rock me baby - Hendrix
3, Highway to Hell - AC/DC
4, Shallow be thy game - RHCP
5, Doomsday clock - Smashing Pumpkins
Controversial, but there are millions that I love - including Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4" or "I'm a man".....to Eric Claptons "Bad Love" or Cream's "Spoonful"

Stargazer by Rainbow always brings a smile when it randomly appears, as does A Touch Too Much [ACDC], Ummm... Girls In Their Summer Clothes, Going For the One by Yes, but perennial favourite is We Will Rock You, the version put together for John Peel's show way back when in 1977. Magnificent.0

70s mate. We had the lot - cheesy pop, serious pop, glam, metal, prog, discotheque music, and then punk. Add Teenage Kicks to my list. And Anarchy In The UK. and... drones on & on, cont p94....

I did put question marks around the song to be fair - but I'm much too short of oxygen going along and worried about jaywalking ped's to fret about lyrics and a part of the appeal is when it came out - exams being overNo Babbit No, Look what Birdy doing0 -
