The bit when "More Than a Feeling" turns from ballad to rocker is pretty neat.
Big wheel keep on turnin'.
"Dazed and Confused".
"Band on the Run" is several good songs for the price of one!
 
The Boston is an excellent song
Second pair could have gone either way
Dust is weak for Queen, but Dazed is way too ponderous for me.
Band is one of McCartney's better solo efforts, I just feel I haven't ben giving the Stones enough love and this is from their best period.

My votes:

Nirvana by far on the first. Smells Like Teen Spirit
There's much better songs from both Tull and Soundgarden. Tull is better here. Locomotive Breath
Jimi by a purple mile. Purple Haze
Progsnob checking in. Roundabout
 
I really like Bittersweet Symphony. SLTS is better, but BS deserves some love in what will be a steamroll.
 
I had to actually think about the first one. I am going for Bittersweet Symphony, though. More iconic for my age.

1st, 1st, 2nd. Love Double Vision.
