Despite my great love for all things Bowie, The Doors win this one for me. I have to admit, I don’t think I’ve ever heard the Who song (although perhaps I have, and just don’t know it by the title), but I doubt that would change my mind in this instance. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

The Who. Cream would be my second choice. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

All the yong dudes is the song to a generstion of post war, a song about memories, it sounds like the homage to the 60s, the sound of nostaligia and longing. -------------

Waterloo Sunset is imo the best Kinks song. White Room is among the most majestic songs ever written, Llight mY Fire us so ahead of its time its still shovkingly good And Who Are You is a bad ass rocker, showcasing Townsends lyrocal genious. -------------

Correct. I have never watched CSI. I don’t watch much TV at all. I think what I have and haven’t listened to comes down to my age. When it came to listening to music made before I was born or while I was a wee sprog, I went first to music like the Beatles, Small Faces and Gene Pitney on the pop side. None of these rock bands were on my radar, and were bands I knew the name of, but had never heard any music from. They weren’t the kind of bands that were in my parents record collection, or played on the radio stations they listened to. After my phase of listening to music from the past (not including all these greats that I knew of, but never felt the need to hear), I moved on to purely music of the moment. And when I next dipped into the past, it was purely for the more prog bands. I have heard the odd song from all of the bands in this poll and the last, but never a full album. Oh, I lie. I listened to Led Sel’s In Through The Out Door after it was mentioned in the 1979 episode of The Album Years podcast from Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness. I really quite enjoyed it, too, but it didn’t really sound like any other Led Zep I’ve heard, so that’s probably why. Am I not allowed to be a music fan, if I’ve not heard all these songs? ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Although it's maybe not the greatest piece of music or song from a structural or lyrical point of few, You Really Got Me was completely unprecedented in 1964 and ushered in power chords, distorted guitar riffs and a healthy dose of teen angst to boot. Ironically enough, Ray Davies wrote it on piano. -------------

You Really Got Me is one of the very few songs for which I did the vocals in a band, and deservedly so. Second is Light My Fire, which I voted for accidentally. |
