PrintThis afternoon I spent the several hours at a local high school football field watching a couple youth football games in chilly, damp conditions. The games were moved from a local county park to "our" home field with Field Turf due to the recent deluge of rain locally. We had one day to organize the entire event and it impressively went off without a hitch, many people volunteered their time at the grill, food booths, beverage booths, and multiple ticket booths. I was most impressed by the songs spun between series, after timeouts and in between games.
Conversation turned to whether the individual song of the moment was the best song by the particular band being played over the PA. Admittedly it wasnt the most riveting of conversations but it did manage to distract us from the fact our asses were freezing, metal bleachs are teh suck! Earlier this week a person I know was extolling the virtues of the best Stone Temple Pilots song and while I didnt necessarily agree it was a tad interesting to hear the opinion nonetheless.
So....what say you? What's the best, in your opinion, song by:
Stone Temple Pilots:
Guns N Roses:
AC/DC:
Pearl Jam:
Pink Floyd:
Van Halen:
Black Crowes:
Sum 41: (for BK)
Prince: (for tHan)
Michael Jackson: (for jch)
Electric Light Orchestra: (for Mads)
Jack Johnson:
Rolling Stones:
The Who:

you're right
“Dirty Water” is probably better, but that Red Sox anthem is anathema to a Yankee fan like me.

I wish he'd get into more a more horror-glam type of a stage show
like Alice Cooper did with the guillotine, and that some kind of horrible accident would take place.

Al Gore didn't invent the internet. But he did more for the internet than probably anyone you'll ever meet.
Uh what's your fav MC 5 song, your fav Fugs song, your Fav Iggy and the Stooges song
It is easy to have favorite songs of such well known commercial groups as the ones listed but is an aficionado such as your bad self above the fray when it comes to real rock and roll?

Van Halen: N/A (Read: stinks)?
Farns…may I call you Farns?
Van Halen at its peak was the perfect pop rock band, with catchy well organized songs, asshole lead singer and a tremendously gifted and creative guitarist.
You may not like them, but they were really really really exceptional at what they did.
And Eddie Van Halen not only has extraordinary technique and a great melodic sense but his use of rhythm and phrasing is exceptional. As a guitarist he is superior to any of the guitarist in any or all the bands included in this survey (although I am an enormous David Gilmore fan..).

BMI releases top 10 sports songs
We Are The Champions as #1 is no surprise. The Black Eyed Peas ripoff of the Dickie Dale song from Pulp Fiction was a surprising 2nd place, to me. The rest of the top 10
Twilight Zone (Golden Earring) …..Really?
Song 2 (Blur)
Rock and Roll Parts 1 and 2 (Gary Glitter)
Black Betty (Ram Jam)
Cowboys From Hell (Pantera)
Stronger (Kanye West)
Let it Rock (Kevin Rudolf) ….. Bon Jovi’s Let it Rock is a much, much better sports stadium anthem.
Put On (Young Jeezy)
Zombie Nation didnt make it surprisingly. And I hope Dunner is still rocking the Sister Christian in the District.
"I have found me a home"
I don't get that Twilight Zone thing
They do play it at ball games a lot, but I don’t understand why.
And where’s our favorite child molester, Gary Glitter?
