For all of you who cannot pick between Freebyrd and Stairway, Monty Montgommery (Acustic guitarist out of Austin), has done a song at his shows called 'Stairway to Freebyrd'...

Anyway, I'd have to say Freebyrd, that was our class song my senior year, and I nominated it...

But as a 'personal' favorite, 'Tuesday's Gone' by Lynardo Skynardo...

[Phil C]

Hey Dude by the Beetles in 1968.

Ah, Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water' was the very first song I learned how to play on the guitar...

Are you sure that isn't "Cult of Personality"?:D

[LH Panther Mom]

I've been racking my brains trying to narrow down the list.

"Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith
"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC
"Black Water" by The Doobie Bros
"La Grange" by ZZTop

Too many more to list, but that's a start.

[sinton66]

yup, ZZ's gotta be up there.
But, guess my favorite will always be CCR doing "Keep on Chooglin" live.

[Gobbla2001]

Zz-Top's La Grange is my favorite song by them, and I really like ZZ...

I cannot fully understand EVERY word they're saying in that song... And the great thing is, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW...

I just like singing it without knowing it...

"Rim muh bin draaaaaaa, in that, Texas Town"

(do not ruin my night by posting the lyrics)

It's fun to play on the guitar, too...

[wildstangs]

Hotel California
Hangman

Actually, I think "Cult of Personality" is one of the good ones.

[ILS1]

I forgot about:

Hotel California-The Eagles (good ol' Texas boy Don Henley,born in Gilmer but raised up in Linden)

One-Metallica (I still love hearing this song to this day)

Satisfaction-Rolling Stones (probably the most recognized guitar riff)


;)

[AP Panther Fan]

After considerable thought :rolleyes: here are two of my all-time favorites.

"Suffragette City" by David Bowie
"Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison

[pero chato]

I never thought I would see "Chooglin'" as anyone else's favorite song! My all-time favorite for sure. A great mix of swamp blues, rock and boogie all rolled into one. Ablsolutely the best!

[Sinton94]

Hard to pick one song but AC / DC Back in Black is my favorite CD of all time.

[vet93]

Actually.....in several polls, magazines and tv shows, the intro to Sweet Child O' Mine is the most recognized riff of all times.

[Ranger Mom]

This is way too broad of a question for me! Hard Rock? Soft Rock? Power Ballads? Classic Rock? Way to many choices!

I couldn't even begin to list them as that's my favorite kind of music.
