Your favorites of these overplayed classic rock songs

[RoeDent]

Long after we've all shuffled off this mortal coil, people will still be singing Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen somehow managed to successfully marry the two seemingly disparate elements of popularity and complexity to create a timeless anthem for the ages.

If I related this before, I'm sorry, but about a year ago, I was driving my daughter home from school and she asked me if she could go to this dance at school.  She went on to say something about how she wanted to see her friends, but was unsure because the last dance the music was really bad.    I said sure, and because I can, I put on Stairway and told her - sort of tongue in cheek - how this was the song that ended pretty much every dance I've ever been to.  Fast forward to me picking her up from said dance, and me asking how it was.  She looked at me with this look on her face and I said "what happened?  Music suck?"  And she said it was fine until the last song.   They played Stairway, and some boy asked her to dance and she didn't know whether it was slow or fast or what...

Point is, 45 years later, and two generations later, they're STILL playing that fucking song at school dances.   I can't wait until my seven month old grandson dances to Stairway at HIS first school dance...

The one song that was a staple, beyond all the pop hits and rap, at my middle/high school dances, was You Shook Me All Night Long. Stairway seems like an odd pick to me. It takes a while to get going...
