- It's got the best drum beat ever and I'm not kidding and the lyrics are touching too.
- December 30, 2008: Michael Jackson:Black Or White nominated by SGYDK.
- How has this not been nominated? It's probably one of the best Michael Jackson songs out there (and thats saying something.) With an excellent guitar part by slash, too.

- December 25, 2008: Jackson Browne:The Rebel Jesus nominated by Cubs Fan2007.
- I'd like to nominate this song in honor of the Christmas holidays. It's not a Christmas carol, per se, but it has a carol-like quality to it. This is one my favorite Jackson Browne songs.audio
- December 24, 2008: Nirvana:The Man Who Sold The World nominated by Allen Ellis.
- It's one of the best covers ever and its acoustic.It's 2 things that can show a band's good and Nirvana proved it.
- December 23, 2008: Aerosmith:Dude (Looks Like A Lady) nominated by Allen Ellis.
- it's one of the funnier of their hits and also my favorite
- December 22, 2008: Def Leppard:Pour Some Sugar On Me nominated by Allen Ellis.
- It's just an 80's classic from one the all time best of rock n roll
- December 21, 2008: Alter Bridge:Watch Over You nominated by Allen Ellis.
- It's an amazing song.The chorus is just perfect.I've been a fan of Creed and since their breakup I've moved onto Alter Bridge.They're just awesome.
- December 20, 2008: Foo Fighters:Everlong nominated by Allen Ellis.
- It's a classic Foo song w/ the catchiest melody ever to me.It's just true genious.
- December 19, 2008: Alter Bridge:Open Your Eyes nominated by Aquatiki.
- This is a rocking good song. The tune is catchy, the melody is memorable and the song was a hit. You can hear the enthusiasm of the instrumentalists and the energy of the singer. This song was the smash first-time hit for Alter Bridge.''
- December 18, 2008: Rainbow:Kill The King nominated by Cubs Fan2007.
- While there are a lot of great tracks on Long Live Rock 'n' Roll, I think this is the best. The manic tempo, Ritchie Blackmore's guitar playing, and Ronnie James Dio's voice make it a great song. audio
- December 17, 2008: The Edgar Winter Group:Frankenstein nominated by Cubs Fan2007.
- So named because it was created from bits and pieces of various studio takes (akin to Frankenstein's monster), this instrumental by the The Edgar Winter Group quickly shot to #1 on the charts. To me, it's not surprising the song became so popular; that guitar riff is memorable in any way, shape, or form. audio
- December 16, 2008: Sum 41:Walking Disaster nominated by 76.27.73.194.
- The song for all who have given up almost all hope. Truly the only work of musical art that truly captures the feeling of one with nothing left to live for. One who is 'on a mission, nowhere bound'. the only song that can truly explain the emptyness of life without a goal, a love, or a prayer.
- December 15, 2008: The Animals:Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood nominated by Cubs Fan2007.
- While not as well-known as "House of the Rising Sun," this is still one of The Animals' most popular hits. The song was ranked #315 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time, and with its distinctive organ/guitar riff, it's hard not to agree it belongs on that list. audio

- December 14, 2008: Matthew Good Band:The Fall Of Man nominated by Aikon-.
- This track from the final album The Audio of Being is one of the few Matthew Good Band songs to employ a heavily guitar-laden Rock style. The shear intensity with which it is delivered commands respect for our obsession with self-destruction. audio
- December 13, 2008: Smashing Pumpkins:Cherub Rock nominated by MunkyZero.
- The first track from Siamese Dream, one of the greatest albums of the nineties, this song continues to be my favorite of any Pumpkins songs. You don't have to understand the song's meanings about the fakeness of the music industry to enjoy Billy's lyrics. The powerful chords and octaves and the beautifully melodic guitar solo are backed up by loud, energetic drumming. It's just an amazing song.
- December 12, 2008: David Usher:Time Of Our Lives nominated by Aikon-.
- The first single from David Usher's Hallucinations, this track delves into the struggle faced by all of us: life. Accompanied by rich guitars, David Usher's talent and emotional strength make this a hard song to wave aside. video
- December 11, 2008: Matthew Good:House Of Smoke And Mirrors nominated by Aikon-.
- December 10, 2008: Quiet Riot:Cum On Feel The Noize nominated by 99.194.74.186.
- Truly the first heavy metal song to recieve airplay, Quiet Riot broke down barriers in the music world and allowed heavy metal to go to a more mainstream audience. Truly a staple of metal, and Carlos Cavazo on guitar doesn't hurt this really great song, either.
- December 09, 2008: Wang Chung:To Live And Die In L.A. nominated by Cubs Fan2007.
- Released as the title track of the William Friedkin thriller To Live and Die in L.A., this hit by Wang Chung fell just shy of the American Top 40. With the distinctive riff, I think it's one of the most haunting pop songs I've heard. audio
- December 08, 2008: The Presets:My People nominated by Humbug.
- This song is a single from the album Apocalypso (2008) which has just won the Australian Album of The Year in the Triple J J Awards! It's a great dance tune and a favourite of mine.
- December 07, 2008: Metallica:One nominated by Soad.
- This has to be Metallica's best song, going from slow paced to fast paced and based on the novel/movie "Jimmy Got His Gun" where the main charaicher lost his arms legs speak hearing and sight this song also has exelant rythem and rythem changes
- December 06, 2008: The Animals:Hit The Road Jack nominated by ZZ Top.
- Who the heck wouldn't know these lyrics? It is one of the most frequently played songs at sports events. Hit the Road Jack is a very good song that repeats a lot. So now, after you hearing this, I just have 2 more things. Here I go: "Hit the Road, Jack, and don't you come back, no more, no more, no more, no more,!" (chuckle)
- December 05, 2008: Billy Idol:Rebel Yell nominated by ZZ Top.
- I just think i'm not a Billy Idol fan, but this is the one exception. Rebel Yell is one of the weirdest songs in history, and I was glad when I heard it on Nights With Alice Cooper. With a great sound, this is overall a good song. But the "more, more, more" can get annoying after a while.
- December 04, 2008: The Doors:Love Me Two Times nominated by Cubs Fan2007.
- The third track of Strange Days has one of the most recognizable riffs in the Doors' catalogue. The song reached #25 on the pop chart, while also helping Strange Days reach #3 on the album chart. I think this is one of the Doors' best songs. audio
- December 03, 2008: Oingo Boingo:Only A Lad nominated by ZZ Top.
- As you all know, Oingo Boingo was a big part of the 80s rock music band group. This song from the album Oingo Boingo:Only A Lad (1981) was not a major song, but is a good story of a boy that is very much like a criminal. Then after the song is a cool part that appears in the beginning also. I own the CD, and this is the best song on it.
- December 02, 2008: Soulja Boy:Crank That nominated by ZZ Top.
- As you can see, I like rap music. This is a very cool rap song and to some is his best ever work. As you see with the lyrics, this is repeating a lot. That's what I like in a rap song. Overall, this is cool to listen to. I'm telling everyone to buy a Soulja Boy CD and have fun.
- December 01, 2008: Rage Against The Machine:Killing In The Name nominated by ZZ Top.
- This might be Rage vs. the Machine's best work ever, especially the guitar solo. Being a Tom Morello fan, I love this song. I hope this site takes it, even with the advisory sticker. Thanks if you did! I hope you get to meet these guys like I did. THEY ROCK! This is also the best ever rap metal song, because Rage invented rap metal.
