They use the song "Rock and Roll" (from Zeppelin IV) in some car commercial. Is that the same one?

I believe it is called "Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen)" by Baz Luhrmann. Yes, the same Baz Luhrmann that directed "Romeo + Juliet" starring Leonardo DiCaprio. He had a CD called "Something for Everybody", but I'm not sure if that song is on that same album.

Journey's "Loving Touching Squeezing" is a pretty bad song to begin with, but if they cut it at about 2 minutes 30, it might be stomachable. But when they stretch it out at the end with that "na na na na na na na na na na na na na na, etc, etc, etc", I wanna grab Perry by the throat like a chicken and make him stop that cackling.

Ron Wood's "Gimme Some Neck" is a very good album. It's not the Stones, obviously, but it has a few catchy tunes.

Hey, now you're getting personal! Lay off the Spice Girls. They had nearly as much talent as New Kids on the Block...nearly. I mean, no other group should even be mentioned in the same sentence with NKOTB. I apologize to Joey and Donnie and Trevor and Justin and whatever the hell their names are.

A few of my favorites are: "Never Been Any Reason" by Head East "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire "People Who Died" by the Jim Carroll Band "Turning Japanese" by the Vapors "Fantasy" by Aldo Nova "Nonstop to Nowhere" by Faster Pussycat (they actually had a couple more that were pretty good).

Some people are just so much more creative than the rest of us. Ay, Batman?

I think "Hey Jude" is 8 minutes and 6 seconds too long. Na-na-na-nananana.

Y'ar welcome.

Who, me??? Naaaaahhh!!!

Yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot. I've waited my whole life just to hear a compliment from somebody from Ireland. Now, if I can only get one from somebody from Scotland, I can die a happy man. Later.

"Cumbersome", by Seven Mary Three. - Actually, I love that one-hit wonder. I heard a couple more songs by them, but they sounded just like every other new band. Seven Mary Three was also the call numbers for Ponch and John on "CHiPs".

I couldn't let this topic get away without adding four more super-wicked intros - 2 from Foreigner and 2 from Alice. Foreigner "Long Long Way From Home" and "Blue Morning Blue Day" Alice Cooper "Ballad of Dwight Fry" and "Billion Dollar Babies"

Great, Gill, just what I always wanted. This thread is just awesome. I'm sure everyone will post at least 10 times each on this one. Yeah, and Synchronized Swimming is the most exciting event in the Olympics.

I remember Corky and the Juicepigs. They were on MAD TV a lot a few years ago. Actually, I was just thinking about them yesterday when I was watching a rerun on Comedy Central. They reminded me a lot of the Violent Femmes who, in their own right, had some pretty funny songs. Whatever happened to those Juicepigs? I haven't seen or heard from them in a while. Are they still alive? They were funny! Loved the Gay Eskimo song.

You gotta love Warren Zevon's tunes. Just about anything he does, he tries to make it seem serious yet comical, and you can't help but laugh at the lyrics. Some of my favorites are "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner", "Excitable Boy", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Play It All Night Long", "Werewolves of London", and "Boom Boom Mancini".

It was Yoko.

I love the "Cowboy Song", "Jailbreak", and "Whiskey in the Jar", but you don't hear them on the radio enough.

Daniel, since you're only 13, you should be in bed by 9:00 and should have the headphones on, under the covers, listening to Side 1 of "Saturation" by Urge Overkill. You'll love all six songs. (My favorites are "Sister Havana", "Woman 2 Woman", and "Back On Me".) Side 2's not too bad, either. When you reach 14, it should be either "Let It Bleed" or "Sticky Fingers" by the Stones, or "Physical Graffiti" by Led Zep. By then, you should be able to stay up until 11:00. Tell your parents I said so. When you reach 15: "Give the People What They Want" by the Kinks. Good luck, and rock on.

I believe what Denmark is trying to say is that "Smoke on the Water" isn't necessarily any great guitar work, just a few good notes strung together. However, to rebut, what makes it a great intro IS its familiarity; you know what song's coming behind those few good notes. But I think Deep Purple has several great intros, including "Highway Star", "Bananas", "Burn", and my personal favorite "Knocking at Your Back Door".........."Sweeeeeet Lucy was a dancer, but none of us would chance her, because she was a Samurai." A lot of Deep Purple's stuff sounds very much alike, though, and reminds me a lot of many of the new bands...decent musicians but need some help with their writing; everything sounds too much alike. (Ex. Matchbox 20, Offspring, and the most offensive - Nickleback). I would also like to add a few memorable intros from a nearly forgotten band - Jefferson Starship. Who could forget that great piano intro to "Jane", the great bass intro to "Stranger", and the great guitar intro to "Ride the Tiger"? Rock on, e'brybody!!

Dick or no dick, it was Yoko's fault.

Dave Matthews and GENESIS/PHIL COLLINS. Their undeserved success makes we wanna puke.

Van Halen with either Dave or Sammy, or even Ed's guitar. But I've still never heard that third guy. What was that, anyway? That was a case of 'taking it to the extreme' and nearly sinking the boat. And I've been promoted to Goldfish. Thank you, and good night!

I voted for Zep IV, but only because there were no Stones albums (Sticky Fingers, Let It Bleed) on the list, and because Zep II and Physical Graffiti weren't there either. And it's hard to leave "Who's Next" off the list. Good poll, though. And two great, great albums that don't get the recognition they deserve are Cooper's "Love It To Death" and Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars".
