Ok, fine, if you insist:

"I've been working real hard, trying to get my hands clean
We'll drive that dusty road from Monroe to Angeline
To buy you a gold ring and pretty dress of blue
Baby just one kiss will get these things for you
A kiss to seal our fate tonight

A kiss to prove it all night
Prove it all night
Boy there's nothing else that we can do
Except prove it all night, prove it all night
And boy I prove it all night for @Used 2 B Hu"



HEY!

You know I hate Springsteen

I am not into heavy metal, any of the big hair bands from the 1980s(poison, scorpion, etc), disco music(aka Donna Summer), whatever that stupid screaming shit is that is out now. Fun fact, my nephew was the drummer in one of those bands that toured but never made it big time, and I took my kid and some of his friends to one of their shows where 1500 kids attended, high school and college age.

My first album I ever purchased would have to be it

Grand Funk Railroad - We're an American Band, I had the yellow vinyl abum

Songs I sing along to, (poorly I might add)
Satisfaction Rolling Stones
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap AC/DC
White Wedding Billy Idol
new York, New York Frank Sinatra

Songs I love to drive to at night
Piano Man Billy Joel
Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd
Candle in the Wind Elton John
American Pie Don McLean
Take it to the Limit Eagles
Yesterday Beatles
Bohemian Rhapsody Queen
Don't Stop me Now Queen
Billie Jean Michael Jackson
Thriller Michael Jackson

Best song I ever saw performed
Elton John Candle in the Wind - he opened with that at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado

Most Surprising Entertainer I ever so, I won a table for eight people and free booze. I did not have any friends in town, so I sat at the table by myself. Ray Boom Boom Mancini, lightweight boxing champion at the time, was at the table behind me. I expected the entertainer to be a washout and an old has been

James Brown at Ceasars in South Lake Tahoe, Most Surprising Entertainer

there would be more songs from concerts from the 1970s and 1980s, but because of drugs and alcohol, I don't remember them

These are good choices. I think it is Stairway to Heaven but that is so played out people lose perspective.

Here is another contender. T-Rex is criminally underrated, his albums are amazing.

I like that song, but could probably only name 3 or 4 other T-Rex songs.

That one is great. His music sounded so different pre-Born To Run vs Born To Run and after.

But I actually just did the Brilliant Disguise bit as a joke, that's not my favorite rock song of all time (though I do like it a lot and it is probably top 5 Springsteen for me).

My favorite Springsteen song is probably Backstreets. I would say that my favorite rock song of all time is Dogs (the Pink Floyd track). But obviously that's subject to change.

Yep, I dated a woman once who had been separated from her husband for about 18 months and during their marriage they were huge Eagles fans. When we were dating, if an Eagles song came on the radio, tears would fall and depression set in. After about the third Eagles song played out, that was my JFC moment and I was done.

Another song that is kind of overplayed so people underrate it, but: Thin Lizzy, the Boys are Back in Town. The twin lead guitars...

That there would've been some quality-level trolling my friend.
