Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
Madness - Our House - this 1983 track was a triumph in ska.
Mannfred Mann - Blinded By The Light
Police - Roxanne - this song helped restore the fact that a trio of bass, guitar, and drums can be a musical force.
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale - a triumph of the organ in rock and roll.
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody - the varying tempos and somewhat nonsensical parts of the song make this selection timeless.
Wayne's World propelled this track back to No. 2 on the U.S. charts in 1992.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge, Californication, Otherside
Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil - it showed that 'Ol Scratch can be anyone, anytime.
Smash Mouth - Walkin' On The Sun - this retro-sounding hit revealed much of society to its core.
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light - most think it's just another '70s love song, but listen past the lyrics (but don't completely ignore them) into the actual music. It's actually pretty complex. Every time I hear it I pick up something else.
Counting Crows - A Long December
Creed - My Own Prison
Cypress Hill - (Rock)/(Rap) Superstar - listening to either version clearly sheds light on the baseness of the music industry.
Garbage - Stupid Girl - this song illustrates those who try to be something more by pretending but actually become nothing.
Green Day - Good Riddance
Moby - Natural Blues
No Doubt - Don't Speak
Rammstein - Du Hast
Most of the catalogue of Smashing Pumpkins.
Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?
Violent Femmes - Kiss Off

And that's all I have to say about that.
