I'm glad you found space for some Motown - The Four Tops too, great! - the anthems of my childhood love Give it Up and the Sounds of Silence (Rhys has that too) Good choices!
I got a kick out of hearing this today because it has been years since I have heard it (and I've yet to see "Kingsman: the Secret Service" - it would've been a nice surprise ).
I mentioned being reminded of my childhood with those other songs. Now this really reminds me of it. I can still remember the one brother loving this song. But then again, so did I.
Ah, the 80's.

I haven't seen The Lost Boys, but the use of People are Strange in that scene is awesome and Rodent calls the film "Pure 80s sex". Looking forward to a great two hours.
Wha? Not a Doors fan, hasn't seen The Lost Boys?!?!?1 Why do I even bother with you?
Classy Presley song, has everything you would expect, calm but powerful low voice and a great amount of energy, I love Rock songs but I wish there were more songs like this one.
Subdivisions - Rush
Sadly this song pretty much sums up my school life. Also Rush is my favorite band and Neil Pearth is my favorite drummer so you'll be seeing a lot of songs from them from now on. Saving the best for last.
Earth, Wind and Fire - Boogie Wonderland
If you can't dance to this song you're not human.
The Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash
Near perfect song. Lyrics are always a strong point of the Stones and the lyrics of Jumpin' Jack Fish is one of my favorite.
7. Free Bird
No, this song is not all about the long guitar solo and it is not overrated. I love how it starts out quietly and precise, then suddenly explodes and keeps on rockin'; amazing build up. My fav from Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Earth Wind and Fire, AND The Stones! You somehow found a way to get even cooler Gatsby! Grew up on the Stones, love them more then the Beatles. And Jumpin' Jack Flash was even my father's nickname for me. And of course who doesn't love Elvis?

Very cool nickname GS, and I'm lucky you got to grow up with those legendary bands. I only started getting into them when I was a teenager (my parents weren't a big fan of old pop/rock). Glad you liked my picks.
OK, so the first two in that post are pretty rubbish, but the last three are all pure gold and there's gotta be rep for that.
A 3/5 from HK means I'll be thankful anytime of the day.

Awwww, don't be so sad. You have a lot of new rejects here at MoFo to fool around with, and go on murder sprees.
Osbourne is awesome when he gets a bit soft. The moderate tempo and the nice guitar sounds back a rough but surprisingly tender voice.
Pixies - Where is my mind
Loved this song when first heard it during my first viewing of Fight Club, years ago, and today it still remains as a favorite.
"You're not your job You're not how much money you have in the bank You're not the car you drive You're not the contents of your wallet You're not the ****ing khakis You're the all singing, all dancing crap of the world"
Queens - Another One Bites the Dust
If you ever perform CPR, remember that the beat of this song is perfect for reminding yourself how many pumps per minute you have to do. I predict MV will storm in and say, "You should have picked a better Queens song (Bohemian Rhapsody I assume)".
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
Best Michael Jackson.
6. Bjork - Hyperballad
This pick is gonna rattle some marbles. Even though my taste is pretty pop and rock centered I find Bjork's songs to be beautiful, ominous, and dreamy, her videos are great too.
Just randomly chose one song about of every single The Who song I love, but I also chose this one it's very nice despite low recognition.
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
The iconic Stones songs still remains awesome and holy no matter how many times it is played. Some songs just never get old, they just get younger and younger.
Toto - Africa
New favorite for me. Did not know a thing about "Toto" until months ago, and I started really digging most of their songs. Africa is one of them.
The Kinks - Lola
I love a song when it tells a story, Lola nails it. The lyrics are quite funny if you pay close attention and is somewhat a simple unlikely love song.
5. Estranged
My favorite GNR song, which is a band that has generated so many favorites. Like CS, I used to listen to the song as a mean of comfort and escape from loneliness. I can't believe this wasn't added to the Greatest Hits album.
