Speaking of Rush...I gotta go with Working Man. That one seems to especially hark of their roots.

Also I gotta throw out there Just Got Paid and Tush-ZZ Top.

I thought that's what he was saying as well - but the song is in fact titled "Inna-Gadda-Davida"... :confused:

The story goes that it was originally called "In the Garden of Eden," but one night the singer was so doped up he kept slurring the words, and it just stuck.

The man knows his Godzilla.

I think my favourite riff ever is the beginning of "Gimme Shelter." By the time the lead comes in, I usually have to change my pants.
