The number ten song on the list is Break on Through by the Doors and it is quite a wonderful way that the bass is used in this song that makes it such a hot favorite. Higher up on the list at number nine is Boris the Spider by The Who.

Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin is at number six and at number five we have The Real Me by The Who. Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple is at number four and at three we have Another One Bites the Dust by Queen.

At number two we have My Generation by The Who and the topmost position is occupied by Money by Pink Floyd.
