What is your favorite Classic Rock song?

[Robinrs]

After YEARS of working for a lite rock (Barry Manilow all the time) station, then a small stint with rap ( ) I am now working a Classic Rock station! Some of the songs catapult me back in time!!

Right now they're playing the Doobie Brothers "Long Train Running", one of my all time faves!

Some others I LOVE

We Are the Champions -- Queen

Layla - Derek and the Dominos

I'm a 42 year old head-banger what can I say! I love the classics of course, but my taste in music has changed with the times. Ryan's first concert was Bush and Veruca Salt at age 6...we're a nutty bunch.
