Not only are these great songs with great lyrics, great chord changes, and great guitar work, but they helped to bring harder and heavier rock into the mainstream. They're the songs all other bands wished they could have written, and the songs that all other bands have since tried to duplicate. They are hard, kickass rock and roll tunes in their most perfect form.
