I'm a fan of Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all the parts)... also like the Home By The Sea. And Mandolin Rain is pretty good too.

Best song for the end of a sci fi/cyberpunk movie is Glory Of Love.

Queen/Bowie - Under Pressure

Two great vocal performances, handclaps and fingersnaps too. It's perfect.

That's my favorite version, but the original is basically the platonic ideal of a rock song.

A few other random entries:

Link Wray - "Rumble"
Stooges - "Loose"
Zeppelin - "Heartbreaker"
Bowie - "Queen Bitch"
Funkadelic - "Maggot Brain"

See, I think the Patti Smith one is one of the best songs of all time, while the original is just okay.

"Heartbreaker" might be the worst non-novelty Zeppelin song of all!

Great call on the Randy Newman.

If there's one defining Stones song it's clearly "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". If we're talking personal favorites I'd submit "Tumbling Dice", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", or "Sway".

It is tough to pick one song from the Stones but Monkey Man, Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, Sympathy for the devil and You can't always get what ya want - gotta be top 5

That extended jam that takes up the last 5 minutes of Can't You Hear Me Knocking is sublime.

Agreed, it is a great jam..not as great as this though. The seeker is my favorite Who song.

Waylon Jennings called and wants to know if Kevin James gave you so much brain damage that you forgot he wrote and performed this song.

My kids favorite song...for that past year or so

The Chubby Checker version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBQKiCosmQs

and the more rocking Woggles version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyMQcOlR-Q4

He hears a lot of Underground Garage in the car.
