Tough one, but I'll take "Thunder Road" and put it up against Robert Mitchum's "Thunder Road." I know it'll lose, but I really like it anyway, especially in the cover version by bluegrass greats Jim and Jesse McReynolds.
I've always found it interesting how many songs Springsteen wrote where he took the title from an existing song. Always thought it was a really nice tribute to the great stream of American music.

Don't be. It only means that Rogers likes Layla better than Stairway. For Stairway, or any other song to reign supreme here, you'd need advance notice of when this thread is about to end, and then submit your Stairway a post or two before.
I'm confident that when the future pop music historians dig up this thread 20 years from now, they'll understand the dynamics at play here and read accordingly without going apeshit.

Me too. Magic Garden was the first album I ever "owned". I was about five years old when I co-opted that record from my Dad and made it my own. I'd put it on the family turntable and play it endlessly. But that wasn't enough. I had to sit in front of the turntable and watch the record spin all the way through to the end of the record side. That and a circa Adam West Batman record on the Panda label. I remember the Panda on the Batman label because I watched that record spin all the way through to the end, as well.

Sorry, we have to back the truck up.
"American Pie" is not better than "Like a Rolling Stone."
When this thread last veered towards Dylan, I was initially tempted to put up "Like a Rolling Stone" but wisely held back, knowing that I would end the thread.
Why?
Because nothing is better than Like a Rolling Stone. It's the world's greatest Rock and Roll song. Ever. Nothing is going to beat it. Not Thunder Road, not Sympathy for the Devil, not Respect, not One, not Reach Out, I'll Be There, not Let it Be, not even Johnny B. Goode, and certainly not American-freakin-Pie!

AH, but that's the beauty of it! I like "Like a Rolling Stone" and recognize its importance. But, dude, I can't make out most of what Bob's saying in there. American Pie, I can understand -- though I'm not the one who made that choice.
