OT: 5 songs

[J the TyranT]

In having a discussion with a friend... the topic of a "classic" song came up.

You know, something you can listen to time and time again that still rips ass years later... so, anyways, was wondering what some of those songs are for you guys.

Just 5 songs that are classic to you.

Mine, in no order, off the top of my head:

Megadeth: Ashes in Your Mouth
Metallica: Sanitarium
The Eagles: Hotel California
Iron Maiden: Hallowed Be Thy Name
Queensryche: Suite Sister Mary

HM: GNR - November Rain

 

[006]

1: The Eagles - Hotel California
2: The Haunted - Hate Song
3: Steve Vai - Hand On Heart/For The Love of God
4: Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing
5: Metallica - Battery

Yep.

[J the TyranT]

Im not defining classic, because I said "classic to you", like, what YOU think is a classic song... to your own agendas... that's it.

I just went with 5 as a measuring stick... there's no "rules" or anything.

BTW, some good lists... some songs I've never heard before... might have to fire up the limewire... because yes, Im NOT gonna buy an album from a band Ive never heard before to check out one song.
