I've semi-"hung-up" my AG these days, but a couple tracks still make me drag it out and dust it off:

Going Home - Alvin Lee/ Ten Years After
The Woodstock, Live version will get the blood pumping.

Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights) - Pat Travers/ The Pat Travers Band
Another live cut that's primo AG material.
More later,
Tour...

    I think your best AG song should be Styx 'Too much time on my hands'.

    good choice!

    while not my favorite music of all time, I still prefer much of the 80's hair band rock quite suited for air guitaring

    Poison's "talk dirty to me"
    good god, just pick a Motley Crue tune and your in the right direction for knarly air guitarage :p

    In the Phillipines I got on stage with the band and pretended to play one of the extra guitars they had on stage.
    The band did not seem to mind so we played free bird together.
    I sang into the mic. with the lead singer and pretended to play the guitar for the whole song.
    When I was done hella people came up to me and told me I played very good.
    I was just laughing because the guitar was not plugged in or nothing.

    Sometimes I miss Subic Bay.
