allllrighhhtttt. this is a very deep question cuz theres no end to the awesomeness. ill just put all of my fav bands and one of their songs i love


I LOVE ACDC. my favorite solo is shake a leg. its just an awesome solo.

an addicting song is Let it Rock by Bon Jovi. sweet solo.

Jimi hendrix- an amazing song would be all along the watch tower. just a really nice to listen to song.

Led zeppelin- stairway to heaven is a bit overrated. and the solo isnt as hard as every one says. but its still an awesome song

Queen- somebody to love is an amazing song. brian may's guitar song is incredible.

Van halen- you cant go wrong with any of his solos. ill just put tender surrender cuz i loveeeee that song.

Santana- he has alot of fun cool songs. the one im listening to now is Foo Foo. makes you wanna boogie....... haha

The Allman brothers- jessica is an amazing song. possibly one of my all time fav instumentals.

the blues brothers- It aint me. very cool song.

ZZtop- la grange. everyones favorite song. a bit overplayed tho.

U2- Elevation. they have alot of better old songs. but i love this song.

Aerosmith- in my opinion one of the most underrated rock n roll bands. last child has a sweet beat.

Eric clapton- i really really love his unplugged album. but layla is his alltime best song. everrrrrrrrrrrrr.



hmmm, thats all for now. my head hurts. laterrrr

leftover crack-atheist anthem
choking victim-crack rock steady....i used to play in a skapunk band and choking victim where our idols. haha, if youve never heard this song, kill yourself.
iron maiden-the trooper...sorry to be steriotypical, but its still one of my fav iron maiden jams. i love die with your boots on and flight of icarus as well. brilliant.
GBH-drink and drive....really a big message song. it kindof puts an ironic view point on drunk driving by the chorus chanting "drink...drink....drive....kill..." with a raunchy, catchy guitar riff. nervous breakdown is also a classic by them.
ygwingie malmsteem-black star....HOLLA!
pearl jam-yellow ledbetter
jack johnson-whered all the good people go, definitly. and better together.
arch enemy-we will rise....even though this song is weak in the death metal guitars that usually dominate their songs, this is one of my all time favorites by them. when i hear it i just want to go crazy.
the toadies-do you want to die
****. i forgot one i really wanted to add. whatever.

Their album "Enter: The Conquering Chicken" is the only one I have that is standing up to CoB's "Are You Dead Yet?" in terms of frequency of play or pure ass-kickingness right now.


As to Second Skin -- it's just a great, no bull-pucky rock n' roll song. It doesn't get any better than that.

Too many to list but I would say that for just plain butt-whooping rock and roll, Aerosmiths 'Walk this way' is all around a great song. Right combination of beat, screaming and attitude. It's not overly complicated or anything, but it just seems to summon up the near perfect image and sound of rock and roll.

Just an opinion...

yeah i agree. as i said earlier, they are very underrated. they have all the elements of a perfect rocknroll band but for somereason they didnt explode that much. except for a few loyal followers, they usually are put down by the vast majority of rockers

AEROSMITH? They're WIDELY considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time! If anything, they're overrated. I don't say that because I happen to disagree with the general consensus that they're one of the greatest rock bands of all time (which, incidentally, I disagree with), but because they receive a bit more credit than they deserve.
