Haha, holy shit, you know how you mouse over the thread and some of the first post's text comes up? I was listening to Yellow Ledbetter and thought that there was some craaaazy glitch between my Winamp and BP!

Yellow Ledbetter is the almost the definition of a perfect song. Maybe it's just because my band plays it to warm up lately. It has great timing, and it's laid back, but it also rocks. The drums are average, but the timing is perfect, and goes great with the song. And the solo...is just...really good. They lyrics? I don't know.. haha does anyone? He changes them about once per show.

Without further adieu, here's my list, in a very painstakingly random kinda order:

Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter
(AND HOW THE FUCK DID NO ONE SAY) Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
^^That's an instant panty dropper if you can play it from beginning to end, AND sing, no matter how horrible my voice is. (It's tried and true, I'm two for two!)
Hells Bells - Back in Black
Tuesday's Gone - Lynrd Skynrd (The Metallica version rules as well)
Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry (good guitar song minus the rasta stuff)
Free Bird Solo - Lynrd Skynrd
Green Day - Time of Your Life
Pantera - Cemetary Gates
Smashing Pumpkins - Today
Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride
Tom Petty - Mary Jane's Last Dance
Unwritten Law - Rest of My Life

And since I'm the biggest Metallica fan, (I challenge anyone to a battle of the wits!) here's my Metallica list, minus what's listed above.

Wasting My Hate
Fade to Black
The Four Horsemen
Sanitarium
Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) - this is a bass song!
Call of Ktulu
...and too many more!

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned

"Sympathy for The Devil"

Amen! I especially like the moment when Keith Richards solo comes up and he has the balls to leave it understated, and then just repeats that driving melody, slower, more distinctly. My vote for the greatest Rolling Stones song, possibly the best rock and roll song ever. uooo, uo!
