'Walk Away Renee' was originally written and recorded by The Left Banke......the best version imho and a great pop rock band that also did Pretty Ballerina. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

You're making me choose between two of my favourite songs - Van Halen and The Beatles. 
I'm going to go for VH seeing as they don't have any votes yet.
Ah, now I've read the OP properly
 I can vote for The Beatles, Macca and the Moodies as well. I have had all those songs on my MP3 player at some point. |

| I've never owned an ipod but I selected The Beatles and John Mayall (with a very young Eric Clapton). |

Yep, that's another vote for the Chili Pepper's `Give It Away'. I still have vivid, traumatizing memories of playing it in my room as a teenager and my Dad coming into the room dancing in the most wonky, uncoolest bopping fashion to it!  Cue a horrified `Dad, that is SOOOOO uncool!!' reaction from me! Heh, now I find it kind of surreal and brilliant...and thinking back, his moves were actually far better than I gave him credit for at the time!

^ Why is it so normal to hate seeing our parents sing or dance?  I voted for Offspring, it's not one of my favourite Punk bands but I used to listen to them.

I guess its an Anglo-Saxon thing... Beatles and Tull for me. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |

Great tune, but it appears on the "Coming" disc, so not listed here as I try not to duplicate songs. |

I voted for Van Halen but I also really like Walk Away by the James Gang, Sail Away by the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead's renditions of Not Fade Away. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

hah... someone knows their music. I live for getting my kicks.. and I can check off another one.. voting Robbie frickin Dupree on a prog rock website. Great great song...  I haven't heard that in ...what maybe 30 years.. and still have every word to that song committed to memory. I listened to it that much back in the day.------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Randy Newman - Sail Away.....we will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston bay. Hope Randy's feeling better - the show in Austin was cancelled last weekend.....rescheduled for June 1 pending a full recovery. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |
