No particular order

1. Foreigner- Jukebox Hero

2. Scorpions- Wind of Change

3. Steely Dan- Hey Nineteen

Man, this is impossible. I wouldn't claim these are my Top 5 songs, but I'd say they have stood the test of time. They're all live versions, which are so much better when they're done right.

Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like We Do

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird

Allman Brothers - In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed

The Who - Baba O'Riley

Jim Hendrix - The Star-Spangled Banner (and kudos to U2 for seguing this into "Bullet The Blue Sky" for their live shows.)
