You guys will probably laugh at me but something about this song gets me even though it's not my style of music.

I agree. That CD is recorded at a very high quality. Great band to see live as well.

Pink Floyd - Money is a good show off song. Pretty good range on it and the sax and guitar solos just scream.

I'm more of a Rocker so I lean towards ACDC, Ozzy, ZzTop, and Rush, but here are a few oddballs.

A great blues tune The Healer by John Lee Hooker as well as some of his other tunes.

Just about anything by George Thorgood

Not a big Country fan but always liked Steve Earle Guitar town on a good system.

One of my favorite songs George and the Delaware Destroyers ever did. Don't know if its a "great" song to pound the system to in the parking lot but, awesome tune.

I posted the studio version a few posts before this one. When this song comes up on my playlist, it's REALLY hard to keep my scoot out of the +90 mph range.

Here's a Canadian band from the 80's that has some great tunes that most people have probably never heard of.



Queen City Kids - My Black Box is a great riding tune

Dance, and carrying the stick. More great QCK tunes.
