Because it was asked of me, and because I had the audacity to offer my favorite Beatles song of all time (Dear Prudence) we now face the conundrum of having to select similar sizings to the other behemoths of Rock. 'Cause really we don't spin to, say, the invertebrates or marsupials of rock, do we?
No we don't (unless they uncorked ONE KILLER TUNE). Then we might. So, following is the RCVman ONE favorite tune from a handful of artists you might recognize. (Note: Most of these tunes are in HoM rotation).
Stones: Gimme Shelter.
Kinks: Tired of Waiting
Dead: Pick ONE? Are you kidding? How about 100? Alright, one. Stella Blue.
Led Zep: Gallows Pole.
Clapton: Layla
Allman Bros: Whipping Post
The Band: When I Paint my Masterpiece.
Neil Young: Down by the River.
Jimi: Little Wing.
Phish: David Bowie.
David Bowie: Suffragette City
Chicago: Make Me Smile
Little Feat: Fatman in the Bathtub
Santana: Black Magic Woman
The Dan: Hummmmm, another toughie. Kid Charlemagne
Steve Earle: Transcendental Blues
U2: One
Beach Boys: Don't Worry Baby
Zevon: G, L & M.
Temps: Ball of Confusion
Heart: Magic Man
Bonnie Raitt: Three Time Loser
Gabriel: In Your Eyes
The Who: Baba O'Rielly
The Boss: Rosalita
Aretha: Freeway of Love
Boston: Peace of Mind
Eagles: Life in the FL
The Knack: Duh
Now you know. Slap on the cans (or button your buds) turn it up and go till she's on E. Or beyond.
Oh, see the fire is sweeping'
our very street today
burns like a red coal carpet
mad bull has lost its way.
Oh, children.

that is not Heart's best song.
You should put Steely Dan's "Do It Again" on the spin track. Also you left off the Doobies - South City Midnight Lady, etc and Bonnie's best is any cover of Jackson Browne, IMHO.
Crazy on You.
So little time, so many great tunes. I spun one of your requests this morning. Ozark Mtn DDs. Standin' on the Rock.
You must have overslept.
thats the one, IMO. Ozarks sure are great. they have some lesser known songs like 'within without' that are fine too. yeah, my alarm went off and then it was 5:20 --- too much coffee at 8:50 pm.
