Anyway, that was a dead-set grouse clip! I think I'll go and watch my copy of Puberty Blues and get another big dose of my teenage years. Hell, I'm going to get that on Thursday night when I go and see the Doobie Brothers!!

Cheers,

PS Thanks Suzy for this truly enjoyable thread!
I'm very glad you're enjoying this thread Mario, I am too!
Puberty Blues- love that movie. So eighties & so very real of the time! Everything she wore, I wore, which makes for a really good memory lane trip. And the infamous panel vans - aye! I had two boyfriends that owned panel vans- my big brother was constantly having something to say. Have fun with Doobie Bros!

So many great classics have been listed so far!

I realise of course our favourite songs change with our different moods, and being asked to pick three is a tough call, but I was worried by not listing a number of songs to give, that many posts would get over run by a load of songs removing the signficance from my requent - your absolute bare bones favourite. Three well chosen songs make this thread much easier to read through.
I see many of you are sneaking in extras - *tsk* *tsk*

Even though I've used the term rock classic, it can be folk, pop etc. I guess. The reason why I defined it to rock is that it would be harder to chose three favourites across all genres- that'd be painful (as if it isn't already).

Queen and Springsteen are very popular. No one has mentioned anything by Oasis yet.
I would have added Springsteen's Dancing in The Dark as that's my favourite pop track - but it doesn't belong here.

I have a great idea
a lot of songs listed here would make a fabulous playlist for an i-pod. Name of playlist, "IIS Members Rock Classics".
