Ones already mentioned that I wholeheartedly agree with:

AC-DC - Thunderstruck
U2 - Bullet the Blue Sky
Stones - Paint it Black
Don MacLean - American Pie (I've managed to never let myself hear the Madonna version :umno:)

I'll add:

Beatles - A Day in the Life, Abbey Road Medley, Hey Jude
U2 - Still Haven't Found... (I like the Rattle & Hum version)
Pearl Jam - Black, Elderly Woman Behind a Counter...
Nirvana - In Bloom, Man Who Sold the World (unplugged)

Tragically Hip - New Orleans is Sinking, 100th Meridian
Sarah Maclachlan - Posession
Gordon Lightfoot - If you Could Read My Mind
The Guess Who - These Eyes
Diana Krall's version of - The Look of Love

Hearing Thunderstruck in a sold out Falcon Stadium is awesome, especially when the AF football team is jumping around on the field, the cadets are screaming, and 4 or 5 F-16s buzz the stadium just before a few Stealth fighters do a quick pass.

Forgot some Canadian content:
Spirit of the West - Home for a Rest Don't know the song - heard of the band, though. Tragically Hip - New Orleans is Sinking, 100th Meridian - Yup on the first, and I'd throw Courage in there. Sarah Maclachlan - Posession Absolutley! And Building A Mystery Gordon Lightfoot - If you Could Read My Mind Can only be The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald The Guess Who - These Eyes Nope. Randy Bachman knew what he was doing when he bailed (RIP Mr Troiano, btw) Diana Krall's version of - The Look of Love Pass - I'm sure I've heard it but it's just not clicking....

Now to mix and match, I love Sarah McLachlan's cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night"

Simple Man, Song of the South, and Country Boy Can Survive never get old for me.


I really like The Walk of Life by Dire Straits.

RUN DMC's Raising Hell and Tougher Than Leather inspire me.


These probably aren't on many lists around here.

Country Boy Can Survive, I think that's my favorite Bocephus song.
