[edit] START

Song: "The Approaching Curve" by Rise Against
Nominated By: 65.30.118.226
Reason: This song is one of a kind. It has spoken vocals, singing vocals, and female backing vocals. It is something that isn't done a lot and I've never heard another song like it. The song tells a tragic tale. Though sad, it is a really good song. Music video on YouTube

Song: "Rockin' All Over the World" by Status Quo
Nominated by: Cubs Fan2007
Reason: I'd never heard of Status Quo before learning they covered the John Fogerty song. While I like Fogerty's version, I like the Quo's version better. Audio on GoEar

Song: "Godzilla" by Blue Öyster Cult
Nominated by: Cubs Fan2007
Reason: One of BOC's most popular hits, I think it's got one of the most recognizable riffs in hard rock. It's a bit different from "Don't Fear The Reaper", but it's definitely a song to remember. Music video on YouTube

Song: "Do It Again" by Steely Dan
Nominated by: Cubs Fan2007
Reason: I'm not overly familiar with Steely Dan, but this is my favorite song of theirs. It's true it runs about six minutes long, but every minute is something to enjoy. Music video on YouTube

Song: "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh
Nominated by: Cubs Fan2007
Reason: Supported by the talk box solo, it's remained one of Joe Walsh's most popular solo hits for 35 years. I've never been a big Walsh fan, but this is one of my favorites. Music video on YouTube

Song: "Life's Been Good" by Joe Walsh
Nominated by: Cubs Fan2007
Reason: A satirical reflection of the rock star lifestyle, it was Joe Walsh's biggest commercial hit, reaching #12 on the chart. I think any music fan can enjoy it. Music video on YouTube

Song: "Black Magic Woman" by Santana
Nominated by: Cubs Fan2007
Reason: One of the greatest Latin rock hits, Santana's cover of the Fleetwood Mac song brought the genre to national attention. It also helped Abraxas reach #1 on the album chart. It's five and a half minutes of incredible music. Music video on YouTube
