^the only one I've actually heard of is the Talking Heads...

1. Beverly Hills- Weezer. This is a fun song to air-guitar to, and the lyrics express a sentiment that most people share. Overall, 6/10.

2. Things We Said Today- The Beatles. One of my favorites, a gem often overlooked on the album in my opinion. 7/10.

3. The Worst Pies In London- Helena Bonham Carter. This is one of my favorite songs from Sweeney Todd, but it wouldn't be something I would intentionally seek out. 5/10

4. You Shook Me All Night Long- AC/DC. Personally, I don't think any song from "Back In Black" is as good as the stuff Bon Scott did with AC/DC, but nevertheless, Angus' guitar work is fun to try and mimic with an air-guitar. 8/10.

5. Penny Lane- The Beatles. Blah. I don't think this was one of the Beatles better songs. 4/10.

6. Under The Boardwalk- The Drifters. One of my absolute favorite songs ever. Plus, the vocals are fun to try and match. 9/10

7. I Am A Rock- Simon and Garfunkel. I have no opinion, because I haven't had the opportunity to listen to the song fully yet. And that makes me sad. 2/10.

8. Mr. Brownstone- Guns n' Roses. One of the best G n' R songs in my opinion. Axl's (sp?) vocal range is brought to the forefront in this song. Plus, Slash is a guitar god. (Though I prefer Hendrix and Page a little more) 9/10.

9. Welcome to the Jungle- Guns n' Roses. Yes, a double dose of G n' R! Honestly, I love this song, but there are other songs I prefer over this. Slashs' guitar work on this song is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. 8/10.

10. Nutrocker- Trans-Siberian Orchestra. The piano/keyboard (though I'm pretty sure it's piano) is downright incredible- it's the kind of piano I wish I could play. And overall, I think TSO is a bit underrated. 8/10

Looks like we have a tie for first, ladies and gentlemen!
