[tonksy]

i'm bored today and i thought it would make an insightful thread if i asked you all what your favorite songs by classic (actual or instant) bands...but no one is twisting your arm to comply...but i'll name the bands and then you tell us your favorite by them? ok? i'll go first!
and i'll do alphabetical order so as not to piss anyone off with the order and if i forget an important band or artist please mention it.

ACDC - um...shook me all night long or dirty deeds...maybe big balls.
AEROSMITH - hmmm....sweet emotion or ragdoll.
