    We sure are fortunate to have so many to choose from, but I'll toss in "Life In A Northern Town" and "Walk Away Renee."

    I've always thought George looked like Keith in that photo.

    I think I just listened to it blasting on the classic rock radio in my car.

    ‘Born To Run’ by Bruce Springsteen.

    Mind you, I’m not the biggest Bruce fan, but that song is undeniable.

    One of the most iconic songs ever, you know it from the very first note.

    Oasis - Live Forever

    It's catchy, it's ultra-hooky, it's simple.

    It appeals to the rock fans but also had crossover potential.

    I want to say something written by Neil Finn or Andy Partridge (discovered both in the last year thanks to this page)

    Although I might have to go with Waterloo Sunset, about as perfect a song as it gets
