I remember a one panel comic strip (sorry, don’t remember when or where or even the name) that had a guy in an elevator listening to “corrected” versions of rock songs, example – “I can not receive any satisfaction,” or, “I can not buy myself any love.”

I listened to it in 1996 and never grow tired of it and can’t think of a contender. It was the peak of their tribal sound.

I should also add that I think Roots is the best metal album of all time. Just peak metal and it has not aged a day. Sounds like it could be released right now and it would be hailed a masterpiece.

Loved that song (and the bee-girl video!)  
It quite sucks that Shannon Hoon OD’d. And Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots - I’ll turn it up when  
**Interstate Love Song** plays

I’ll just mention my school-boy crush on Harriet Wheeler of **The Sundays** with

I’m in my late 50’s, and this is one I’ve been hearing for literally my entire life: [“Light my Fire” by The Doors.](https://youtu.be/qoX6AKuYWL8) I just really love Manzarek’s keyboard and Krieger’s guitar. I get lost in them every time I hear it. I was listening to this a few months back, and repeated it a few times. Decided I just can’t get tired of it.

Also, [Dreams, by the Allman Brothers.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR_bTQdnpjI) Duane’s guitar is just ethereal.

This is also one of my favorite songs. There is an amazing live performance of this song from their appearance on SNL, but it got pulled from YouTube.
