    Anything by Rush, Hendrix, Yes, Doobie Brothers, or Kiss :D:p:)

    "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood"

    by Fred Rodgers

    Come-on John, be nice..:D

    My vote might be for " Get ready " by Rare earth.Free bird too.. Now I know it's not hard core rock like Paradise city or Van Halen and then there's "Next contestant" thats pretty hard.

    So you need to state soft med. or hard Rock for a favorite.

    Mr. Rodgers might fall in the limp rock catagorie.:p
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    I was being humorous;)..


    My favorite of all time is hard to pin down, so I will toss out a couple. The first is Elanor Rigby by The Beatles, because this song was the first clear departure from the bubble-gum teeny-bopper style of their earlier stuff.

    The second is Dream On, by Aerosmith...

    That prompts me to chime in with "Smokin' " - same album, same description you gave to MTAF, Al :cool:
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
