feel free to make any suggestions, share your opinion, or argue that a certain band has a better song the one i have listed.
Thanks and rock on

i meant to say you can argue if you think the band has a better song that the one i listed

Hey Jude

hey jude is a good one

Return of the mack - Mack morrison. Everyone can say what they want, but this song raises the roof off at parties.

lol, never heard of that one but sounds interesting

And Eye of the Tiger. I love that song

oh yeah! forgot about that one its kickass though

It is Gets you pumped up.

And Jimi Hendrix - Freedom.

And anything by Bob Marley.

freedom is good as is anything by jimi, but i actually like all alon the watchtower better

Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen
Paint It Black-Rolling Stones
(tons of Beatles songs, too many to name )
Purple Haze, Castles Made of Sand, and Little Wing, all by Hendrix.
A lot more, but they escape me.

You said, "The Best song" Meaning only one and you put more than one LOL, But the best song for me would be Tupac " Unconditional Love" has a great meaning to it.

I suggest if you have not heard it you download it.

Europe - The Final Countdown

i like tupac but this was more of a classic rock/blues thread, thanks for your thoughts though

Yngwie Malmsteen - I am a viking....only because the lameness of the song makes it so freaking great IMO (just listen to the lyrics )

*busts out her "Yngwie is God" t-shirt*

Shhhhh, or he will 'unleash the fookin' fury" on you

omg

"The River" by Garth Brooks

You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...and
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide
There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...yes
Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

<One of the best songs I ever heard . . . speaks volumes!>

Sweet I'm not the only person that likes that song.
I also like anything by Queen.
If you've seen Shaun of the Dead there's a couple Queen songs in there. (When they're fighting the zombies in the bar Don't stop me now is playing)
That movie is funny.

hey i actually like yngwie malmsteen, hes really good at guitar, but you are right when you say he is no lyricist

He's amazing, but, no, haha.


Yngwie, want a doughnut?

Best alternative is Boll Weevil!

"Long Black Train" by Josh Turner

(Look to the heavens you can look to the sky
You can find redemption staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's peace the same
Burning your ticket for that long black train
Cause there's victory in the Lord I say
Victory in the Lord
Cling to the Father and his holy name
And don't go riding on that long black train)

<Very soulful>

Anything by the Doors

Yeah man...i love Garth Brooks. I love country. Actually i love 60's, 70's, 80's, beer songs. Ok lets just say i like everything. My all time favourate song is The Gambler by Kenny Rogers, but 4 some good party stuff i like: 500 miles- The Proclaimers, Cotton eyed Joe, Summer of 69- Brian Adams, Cheap Wine- Cold Chisel (cant go without Jimmy). Anything by Gary Allen. Godamn, this list would take me ages, so i'll just leave it at that. hehehe

One song?? That's too hard... atm I'd say "Blackened" by Metallica

The best song ever hmmm

Tupac - Hit Em Up

"Near You" by Dwight Yoakam

(Every morning, night and noon I will be near you Oh and dear you
Won’t even have to do much for me to feel you
Are sincere you
Like a magnet pull so strong it keeps me near you
Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love)

<Through the power of love . . . oh yeah >
