Stairway to Heaven- Led Zeppelin

Funny you should say that, I was playing Hotel California when I read that.

Stairway to Heaven- Led Zeppelin

I’ve got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants,
I put them on and I went to the high school dance.
Dad said I had to be home by eleven –
Aw, man, Gonna miss "Stairway to heaven"!

SKA = Spunge - Kicking Pigeons

Best piece of music: Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
Best "Song" per se: So Says I by The Shins. The fourth stanza puts you into just a damn surreal mood when you are listening to it, and the rest is just pure genius too, lyrics and tune.

I don't play favorites, so here's my current playlist:
You're My Disco- Waldorf
American Jesus- Bad Religion
Pink Floyd- Money
Skinny Puppy- Addiction
Thrill Kill Kult- A Daisy Chain 4 Satan
Sisters of Mercy- Marianne
NIN- Wish
DJ Tomcraft- Overdose
Necro- I Need Drugs

and believe it or not:
Genesis- Land of Confusion (so pertinent these days, someone needs to do a cover)

Best piece of music: Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Ultraviolent!

As you can tell, I'm on a bit of a metal kick right now.

Some of the best music around..

Led Zeppelin - "Black Dog"
The Sex Pistols - "Anarchy In The U.K."
The Beatles - "Oh! Darling"
Chuck Berry - "Johnny B. Goode"

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Manic Depression", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"

Derek & The Dominos - "Layla"
Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Freebird"
Grateful Dead - "Friend of the Devil"

Pink Floyd - "Money", "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2"
The Beach Boys - "Good Vibrations"

;)

So my favorite song/the best song ever, would have to be.....
"Across The Universe" by The Beatles, Harrison's finest work. Though The End by The Doors is a close second.

I like too many so I can't pick out just one. I will tell you my two favorite rock bands are Nirvana and Metallica.

Of all time, "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac.
More recent: "Destiny Rules" by Fleetwood Mac and "Fall From Grace" by Stevie Nicks.

Best "Song" per se: So Says I by The Shins. The fourth stanza puts you into just a damn surreal mood when you are listening to it, and the rest is just pure genius too, lyrics and tune.
