Vote for which grouping like you best.

Option 4 for me.

Definitely know all these songs well,Lots I probably docked a point due to having burned out on them many years ago. Quite a few also I rank pretty low in their respective band's discography (Working Man, Rock of Ages, for example... Rush and DL have so many more songs I like much more...)

[Adami]

3. Easy.

[jjrock88]

This is the first one that I liked all the groupings. But I’ll go with 3

[Stadler]

Flip a coin between 2 and 5. 

Number 4 is clearly, by far, the least attractive (I just don't get the phenomenon that is "Born To Be Wild", and "Shot In The Dark" is an Ozzy solo period low point).   

[TAC]

"Shot In The Dark" is an Ozzy solo period low point).

But that is still a great song!

[hefdaddy42]

#5 easy

[The Walrus]

Really torn on this. The only song I don't actually know if Blackout by Scorpions, so it's the weak link in group 1. But Smoke on the Water, Eighteen, Shot in the Dark, Unchained are all songs I can't stand, and each of them have 2 other awesome songs to balance things out. Think I have to go with 3 by virtue of Dio and GnR picking up Cooper's slack but the rest are very close.

[Indiscipline]

Group 1, love all three tunes.

[TAC]

Group 1, love all three tunes.

Finally someone agrees with me in one of these polls.

Freak.

[pg1067]

Wow...I actually know all of these.

Category 2:  Smoke on the Water - 2.5; Rainbow in the Dark - 3.5; Rock of Ages - 3.  Total - 9.

Category 3:  Man on the Silver Mountain - 3.5; Eighteen - 2; Welcome to the Jungle - 0.5.  Total - 6.

Category 4:  Dazed and Confused - 2.5; Born to Be Wild - 2.5; A Shot in the Dark - 3.5.  Total - 8.5.

Category 5:  Dirty Deeds - 2; Working Man - 4; Unchained - 4.5.  Total - 10.5.

Right there with ya (though it would have been a different story if #5 had "For Those About to Rock" instead of "Dirty Deeds").

Mofo, please.

First group, no brainer.

[ProfessorPeart]

This one was rough. I know and like every song. In the end, I went with 1 on the power of War Pigs.

But. but, Dazed and mother ***ing Confused!!!!

[TAC]

Pretty sure I fell asleep at Dazed.

Yeah...it's cool the first couple of times, but after that it's a bit of a snoozefest -- especially live versions.
