Baba O’Reilly - the Who Fantasy - Aldo Nova Paperback Writer - the Beatles (not that shit Motley Crue version) however, opening myself up to much criticism, I will say I prefer the version of Radar Love by (gulp!) White Lion v. the original. (I won’t get banned from the SDMB for saying that, will I?) ---

“ **Tusk** ” by Fleetwood Mac. The steering wheel doubles as a drum set and I love the startled looks of people in neighboring cars when I suddenly whip my head to the side and shout, “TUSK!” ---

I can’t believe no one mentioned this one: Turn Up the Radio by Autograph!! I HAVE to turn that one up! And I can’t forget: “You Got Another Thing Coming” by Judas Priest and “Hair of the Dog” by Nazareth. Actually, I have many songs I turn up - any song by Yes (AHunter3, are you a Yeshead by any chance? They’re coming to town this month!! I’m going to the Milwaukee show…), or Billy Squier, most Def Leppard and, well, too many others to mention! 🙂 After seeing someone in concert, I MUST play their music loudly for at least a week after! 😃 ---
