Just too many great songs -- how does one choose?  But alas, all from the same few artists, so one song per artist leaves us with very few songs.  With this few, you can listen to all of them before casting your vote.  I hope that you do so, and that you enjoy these songs as much as I do.

Ice House, Electric Blue;

Billy Idol, Rebel Yell;

Incubus, Megalomaniac;

INXS, Original Sin;

Donny Iris, Ah Leah;

Iron Maiden, Be Quick or Be Dead.

Wow Rebel yell certainly rocks (as does White Wedding).

My vote would probably go to Incubus and you picked my favorite song "Megalomaniac!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFnnV595byE I also think this is one of the best videos in a long time!  (Question: Has anyone actually been in a scissor fight?)

If you like rock and roll music and you have a few minutes please consider checking out this band.  My old band played one of their last shows in St. Louis and I honestly think that they are one of the best bands ever...  They are called Ivory Wire and their failure to break is a real shame.  "The World is Flat" is one of my top ten favorite records, seriously.  Every time I listen to it I like it more....

The singer of Ivory Wire used to be lead singer in a band called Dovetail Joint.  They were on one of Sony's labels and they had tiny radio success with "Level on the Inside"  This is probably not as good as Ivory Wire....

Enjoy... I almost want to cry everytime I hear this guys voice...  Such a shame.

Ice House & INXS (both Australian) are not too heavy either.  But then again, for some of us, heavy is good!  I thought you said you like Black Sabbath???

All these years, until You Tube came along, I had thought that it was Foreigner who sang it, and I didn't know the name of it either!
