_Werewolves Of London_ - Warren Zevon. _Rose Of Cimarron_ - Poco. _Witchy Woman_ and _Seven Bridges Road_ - The Eagles. Conversely, and no doubt controversially, anything by the Stones, the Who or Led Zeppelin gets the radio turned off, quick as I can reach the damned knob. ---

> [@XOldiesJock](#): > > Someone mentioned “Ride My See Saw” by the Moody Blues. And I thought I was the only person who cranks that one up. And that’s the one _they_ crank up as the encore ending all their concerts, for as long as I can remember. Back in the day, they likely did more than a one song encore, but this year is their _ **50th** _ anniversary :eek: ---

If it’s worth listening to, it’s worth listening to at full volume. And pretty much everything sounds best _riiiiiiiight_ before the speakers and amp would blow out. ---

I agree with the vast majority of entries in this thread. My contributions are: Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf Walk Away, Renee by the Left Bank or Four Tops, both versions are excellent What does it take to win your love for me? by Junior Walker and the All Stars I’m not sure if the last two are rock songs, but I love them anyways.
