You guys all missed it!

It is Long Cool Woman... by Allan Clarke and the Hollies. A close tie for second to Don't Fear The Reaper and Day Tripper.

Money For Nothing- takes too long to get past Sting and an incredible intro.

Smoke On The Water- one of the best, but too caveman.

Start Me Up- same formula as 36 of their other (and better) tunes.

Just my wanna be humble opinion...

Ok Neil cracked me up...it's nice the way he can give an opinion and then tell you why.
Personal choice: Sweet Child of Mine, Guns and Roses.

I like the way the high melody of the opening riff gets your attention and pulls you in and then the rest of the song just rocks out.
