Plush rules. Beatles bias clearly puts its stamp here. Ridiculous really. Yesterday isn't even half as good.

Imagine.
Zeppelin, though I don't particularly like the song.
BLACK BETTY!
Dirty Deeds for sure. Don't know who that second band is, but their lead singer is annoying.

Imagine. John Lennon died on my birthday and they played this song a lot on the radio. 
How Soon is Now. One of the most miseryesque Smith's classics, very moody. Such a pity it was appropriated for that TV drama that set an entire generation of teenage girls off pretending to witches.
WHOAH BLACK BETTY, BAM-BA-LAM! So earwormy.
Lithium. #nostalgiafest

That bass player from Ram Jam looks just awesome. Wow. Also, how isn't that song racist? Still gets my vote.
Lennon, Smiths (great song), Ram Jam, AC/DC

The musician it's credited to was black.
Its origins are interesting. Some think it's an older folk song.

My votes:
Eagles. That guitar solo of course, but it's also got a fun bassline. Hotel California
The Zep song was never a favorite, and Marvin Gaye is a great singer. What's Going On
The Floyd is a great ending for an album, but it's not a real song to me. Everybody Wants You
Chuck Berry invented the rock guitar solo. (Don't tell me about Scotty Moore on Elvis' records, those were country licks.) I wish Chuck could have gone further... Fat Bottomed Girls

Both songs are vaguely irritating. I like "Last Nite" a bit more.
"What's Going On" is a great song.
If what I've heard from him in this game is anything to go by, I can't stand Squier. Floyd it is.
"Fat Bottomed Girls" is fun, but it doesn't stand a chance here.

I don't really know how to feel about Hotel California. I think it's underwhelming, and definitely not one of the greatest songs of all-time. It's not even a Stairway To Heaven tier song where it's still a really good song, just a little overrated. That said, it's definitely not a Nothing Else Matters. I'm kind of torn on it.
