03.Another Brick In The Wall (part 3) (Pink Floyd)
04.Ashes To Ashes (David Bowie)

- Fat Bottomed Girls (Queen)
- Mama Kin (Guns 'n' Roses)

I'd just like the point out that mama kin was originally done by aerosmith, one of the first songs they put out. Of course, the GnR version is much better.

Pink Floyd - Echoes
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Genesis - Supper's Ready
Richard Wright - Cat Cruise (you knew it was coming)
Led Zeppelin - stairway to heaven
Pink Floyd - us and them
Guns n' Roses - November Rain
Van Halen - Dirty Movies
Guns n Roses - Estranged
Metallica - Fade to black (Sure, metallica may suck now, but their old metal albums were actually very interesting to listen to)

Terminalfrost, you like Van Halen?? I think a lot of their stuff is pretty disposable, but when I heard the albums Diver Down and Fair Warning, I was very impressed.

Yeah - but not that keyboard crap. Just pick up the home-made guitar, Eddie, and lay down some rock and roll. His early guitar work is phenomenal. I think Fair Warning is my favorite VH album. And to see him live...how does he do it?
