If there's one thing I hate more than seeing a thoughtless cut & paste
list it's being told that "every rock fan should hear these songs". No
one, I repeat: NO ONE needs to listen to "Eye of the Tiger" . . . Raja
posts lists about as often as he takes a dump on the crapper. There's
a corollary there somewhere. . .

Yeah all those are certainly worthy. Could've also included some Cat
Stevens, Mitch Rider... Edgar Winter, for Frankenstein at least.
