Typically this forum would try to look at deep cuts, music that contains some sort of hidden treasure. I think we've uncovered some really cool music in the process, but what we haven't done, yet, is expose the true treasures of our musical hearts. These are the songs that we guard with our lives, the best of best!
My list, at least the top 3, has always been a pretty big constant for me for quite a long time. These songs never get old, they could never-ever become overplayed, and if someone doesn’t like them , well then they are totally wrong! No two-ways about it. So this week I’m challenging you to bring your Top 3 EVER and let the discussion begin. Were not doing this because we are compiling another list, but because these are your most treasured songs, your best of the best...
Here's mine,

Great topic bro. And three outstanding choices for you. Monday Morning was a song I really never noticed until a few years back when I saw The Mac in Charlotte. They opened with it and nailed it. I've liked it ever since. But, my most treasured from them would be Rumours. Imagine that next Buckingham-Nicks album with those 3 tracks on it...speaking of Buckingham-Nicks, I wonder if anybody will ever get around to remastering their debut? I'd like to hear it. I keep watching for it at the record store but no luck.
I dig the Zep track, but I'm just not sold on them being the greatest hard rock band ever. I probably would have gone with IV, maybe The Battle Of Evermore. But still a great pick here.
I do agree that The Who wrote the greatest rock song ever. But this isn't it. The greatest rock song ever is Who Are You. But this one is dang good.
As for me, mine would be something like this:
Kiss (Dressed To Kill) - Love Her All I Can - A deep album cut for Kiss, but something they had before the actual band was ever formed. From their tightest musical album of the bunch with a tremendous riff. The guitars, bass and drums work so well together on this track and Stanley's vocal is superb. You know any list like this for me will have Kiss represented.
Van Halen (Van Halen II) - Light Up The Sky - I can't leave Van Halen off of a list like this either. Easily one of the top 3 American bands ever. Like Kiss, it's so hard to pick just one, but this track is probably my all time VH favorite. Hearing it puts me in my cousin's front yard in my teens during the summer time as the light of day is fading. That's exactly where it puts me.
Meatloaf (Bat Out Of Hell) - Heaven Can Wait - This isn't even my favorite ballad from the album, but it's 7 perfect songs. This is my favorite album of all time. It has a great cover and Meatloaf's vocals, along with Steinman's writing is just beyond the reach of any other humans. I don't even mind hearing Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad or Paradise By The Dashboard Light for the zillionth time.
Not surprised to see KISS make your list. And if we'd went with top 10 then they would have been on mine, but it would have been off of Rock and Roll Over for me... Love 'em Leave 'em. Ace's geetar work on that tune was fresh and creative at the time, love everything about that song!
Also holds true for VH! Top 10 and they were in like Flint!!! Mine would have come off of Fair Warning though, Unchained's riff is way too good to ignore...
Meatloaf, not so much for me, but that doesn't take anything away from how great Bat out of Hell is. It is truly a classic top to bottom. I still love the video for Paradise by the Dashboard Light. I still think the female he dueted with played the perfect part on that song and in that video. She did an excellent job of making a young man think about what a girls got to know right now!
Nice list!
I'd take Mean Street off of Fair Warning. You can't go wrong with VH's debut, II or Fair Warning.
I would have better luck trying to touch the moon than to narrow it down to 3. I will give it some thought though and see what I come up with. (does anyone remember me, lol?)
Where have you been brother? Nice to hear from you.
we remember you! we forget no one!!!!
I figured this would either be tough or really easy. For me it was easy, these 3 songs have been pretty immovable for me for quite some time! Looking forward to your response!
Yawn. I like none of these three. Everything lacks overall yippiness.
Best Who song for me : Magic Bus or Young Man Blues - perfavorbly off of the Live @ Leeds LP.
Best Fleetwood Mac Song : almost anything off of the 1st phase of Fleetwood Mac - The Peter Green Period . Love That Burns comes to mind.
Led Zeppelin : What Is and What should Never Be
__________________________
Now my three :
The Doors - " The Soft Parade "
King Crimson - " In The Court Of The Crimson King "
Ashton , Garderner & Dyke - " Ressurection Shuffle "
I'm only 1 for 3 in knowing your songs! I need to go listen to the King Crimson and Ashton, Garderner & Dyke. Thanks for chiming in! Always good to hear from you....
Very glad to see a Led Zep-track and a Who-track among your favorite songs. Two of my absolute favorite bands!
Even though they (and The Beatles) are my absolute favorite bands, they haven't made my absolute favorite songs ever.
All of these tracks, I first heard around '76-'78, when I started out buying rock-albums, but I didn't buy the albums, where these songs "appeared". I bought them alright, but it was many years later. I never ever grow tired of listening to these tracks, and I can not make it 3. No way!! I HAVE to make it 4, or at least 2 tracks have to split the 3rd place. I can not choose between those two tracks. It's impossible. None of the artists, who made these tracks, did never make anything as good as these tracks in my opinion. Not even close.
1. Bohemian Rhapsody - QUEEN
2. Life On Mars - David Bowie
3. A tie between: Yellow Brick Road - Elton John/ Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
