Not even the Stones best song - Gimme Shelter by a long shot.


Sympathy for the Devil is my personal favorite

Traveling in a fried out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast.
And she said.

Do you come from the land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover

Pooprica - a Gastroenterologist anthem

It’s beginning to look a lot like Sepsis

The best rock n roll song ever is a toss up between

I saw her standing there - The Beatles

More than a feeling - Boston

You really got me now - The Kinks

Bobby Kimball, the singer in Toto, was from the big city of Vinton, LA, and is a proud McNeese alum.

Best song ever was by The Divinyls



I saw them play in a bar in Southdowns in the early 1980's. I remember talking to this hot redhead at the bar who was poured in to a black leather jumpsuit. Turns out I was speaking with Christina Amphlett.

Great song but this is a great cover.
Heavy Metal Cover


If you hadn't posted this, I would have.

- possibly my favorite cover of a song of all time
- really badass interlude from 2:30 to 3:25
- 1:38 for "the wild dogs cry out in the night" either he runs his guitar pick down a string or some other sound effect that is pretty cool
- 31.4 million views on YouTube
- as I said above, who writes good lines like "as sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" anymore?
- this cover caused me to appreciate the original more.. I thought it was.. ehhh, back in the 80s
