Anyone have a list of songs you love so much that when you hear them, you say to yourself, 'wow, I wish I had written something like that." If so, list them here.

"Rock & Roll Pt.2" by Gary Glitter. Played at every sporting event for the last 20 years. The guy might be an arsehole , but I'll bet he's a multi-millionare from just that one "song"!HEY!Ern

Wasn't gary glitter that douche bag who went to prison for child pornography?OK, heres one, smoke on the water. I hate that damn riff, but you have to admit its a classic.jchitty: i still think Courtney did it. She sold the rights to what was it...25% of the nirvana catalog? I was watching TV and a video game commercial came on with "breed" playing in the background...I bet Kurt rolled over in his grave at that one.
