Can only get down to top 5. Depends on my mood:

Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Telegraph Road - Dire Straits
Aja - Steely Dan
Twilight - ELO
Since you like Zeppelin and might go to shows, if not familiar with them, you might be on the look-out for the ZoSo tribute band. They have been together for around twenty-five (25) years and are considered to be one of (if not THE) BEST Zeppelin shows out there. I've seen them around ten (10) times in Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, Covington and Lexington and have never been disappointed. Very authentic and professional two-hour show. Check out some videos and see what you think. They are touring now.
If you go, ENJOY THE SHOW !!!

I can't pick a favorite. No way in hell but I listened to 30 Days In the Hole by Humble Pie last week. Forgot how good it was. Haven't heard it in at least 25 years.

Same here. I wouldn't know where to start or how to narrow it down. I can't even narrow it down to one band or artist.

Too many old songs in this thread. Some of my favorite relatively modern rock songs:


Bloodbuzz Ohio - The National

That group is the bomb, and tbh, although I am now in my 60s, I listen to ten times more modern songs than the old classic stuff that has been flogged to death 10,000 times, e.g., Lord Huron, Talk, Florence & the Machine, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc.
 
Backstreets...Boss
Night Moves...Seger
Hey Jude...Beatles
Gimme Shelter...Stones
Shoot to Thrill...AC/DC

So many to choose from, but these on a loop for a week will be fine.

Backstreets one of his underated old songs but listen to Western Stars album way more than Born to Run

Yup, there's a lot of awesome modern stuff out there if you try to find it.
 
Almost all 90s grunge, Nirvana, STP, Pearl Jam

Gin Blossoms were severely underrated. Great live too, Chicken Festival FTW

My dad raised me on Seger, Van Halen, and Aerosmith

I also like the Linkin Park, 311, Rage vibe.

I just like music lol

Nothing Else Matters-Metallica; Wild Horses-the Stones. Werewolves of London-Warren Zevon. and it's not really a rock tune but what the heck, "If You Could Read My Mind" by the under appreciated Gordon Lightfoot.
 
I have a tie and its always the same.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Back in Black by AC/DC

Freddie was a musical genius and AC/DC was simply AC/DC.
 
Dream Police by Cheap Trick is epic. Listening to Best of...

Great song! That band is from my friend's home town. He served the band at the McDonald's drive thru when he was in high school (Zander and Neilsen at least).

Cheap trick was my morning favorite two days ago, but for THIS one

Chicago before Terry Kath died was innovative and incredible. CTA is still one of my all time favorite studio recordings.

Just wasn't the same afterward. It crushed me when I heard the news then. Still does when I think about it
