Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me

I had to cull the Stones' "Star ****er" .... err "Star Star" from my list Bob :D

Yep. That's a really good tune. Not long before Mick Taylor left.

"Honey, honey, cawl me on the telephone"

This cracked me up. My wife is a huge Jon Anderson fan. I will have to check and see if we have this album.

As for the question, is it constrained to songs released as singles? Even then, there are too many songs I like to have a favorite, especially as I am discovering new to me music.

Surprisingly, Christopher Cross was a really good guitar player! He could really wail if needed. There's a live version of "Ride Like the Wind" on youtube somewhere where he really shreds at the end of the song.

It seems we’re mixing pop ballads with rock and roll. Sailing? Great song, but not rock and roll. The top of my all-time-favs list is Maybe I’m Amazed, but it’s not really rock and roll.

As such, I’m sticking with The Motor City Madman’s Stranglehold.

I Love Rock N' Roll Joan Jett

My theme song for the majority of my life has been "You Can't Always Get what you want" (but I know if I try, sometimes I get what I need)

But likely as mentioned already ZZ Top's Lagrange or Just Got Paid are two of the top contenders.

And also Highway Star the live version from Made in Japan. That song MAKES my speed increase and can be dangerous on the highway.

For me: Life's Been Good

Probably because it was my first favorite as a kid, "my Maserati does 185"

Did someone say Canada? Rock n Roll was one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Music from the 21st sucks bigley.

Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf
Spirit of Radio - Rush
Lunatic Fringe - Red Rider
Fly at Night - Chilliwack
The Weight - The Band

MO is this should be decade related as there are so many good singles. I think early on would have to be Johnny B Good. As soon as the first lick is played, your heart starts jumping

That and "In The City" Hard to beat Joe Walsh

And Van Morrison "Brown Eyed Girl" and everything by Linda Ronstadt. And NOTHING by Yoko Ono. Nothing !!

Don't Fear the Reaper
Barracuda
Whiskey in the Jar (Metallica version)
Riff Raff (AC/DC)

agreed. I've watched this over 100 times in the past year+ Obviously best as loud as you can.
