Barracuda’s driving guitars and oh so sexy vocals makes this one of those songs that you just can’t turn off!

Even now, when I hear this song come on the radio, my hand instinctively reaches for the volume knob.

It’s a top 20 on the iPod which leads me to think there’s no way anybody picks Soul Kitchen in this battle.

So what’s your vote?

Here lies a battle that will surely cause a stir.

WOW, BOOM and HOLY CRAP! How do you choose between these two?

I can’t stand it, the suspense is too much. I’m taking Closer To The Heart, mainly because I love Gedde Lee, but I’ll bet there’s a boatload of Led Zeppelin fans out there that’ll fight me on this.

Either way, this battle gave me a rush the minute I saw it. Cast your votes people, the time is NOW!

Now I’m a Steve Winwood fan from back in his days with the Spencer Davis Group and Traffic and I’ve never been a big Doors fan, but let’s be honest, the two songs head to head, leaves Winwood’s tune in a cloud of dust.

I’ll have to throw my vote to Riders On The Storm, just from the sheer magnitude of the record sales alone!

Once again, the fairness in match ups rears its ugly head.

Def Leopard’s Photograph isn’t even on the same planet as Queen’s signature song. Not no way, not no how!

There’s no comparison to make here boys and girls, I’ll bet my blogging fortune that half of you don’t even know the melody of Photograph, but you probably all know “Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango”

Winner: Queen

Styx’s Sweet Madam Blue is a great tune, no doubt about it, but Sweet Home Alabama is the shit baby!

Why Sweet Home Alabama is so good, even Kid Rock ripped it off!

Two sweet/suites in one battle is a little much for one blog post, but given the choice, Alabama states it’s case for a hands down win, don’t you think?

Who comes up with these match ups anyway?

Are you kidding me? Look, I just love an afternoon of Crosby, Stills Nash & Young – who doesn’t; but trying to pit anything from them against Clapton’s Layla is a joke.

Hey, we’re all entitled to our opinions, but come on!

Layla is a classic among classics. It has to rank in the top 10 off all Rock and Roll records ever!

That’s my opinion, it ought to be yours too – we’ll let the voters decide! (I’m going to love saying “I told you so”)!

But seriously folks, is there even a remote chance that the AC/DC gun can knock off one of the greatest single hits of our time?

No freaking way. This isn’t even close.

This is like putting White Christmas up against The McDonald’s jingle. Come on?

Hotel California is one of the best songs ever written and recorded. Just look at the singles sales – don’t take my word for it.

If you’re smart, you’ll vote for Hotel California, anything else is just a wasted vote!

Let me tell you this, I’ve never been a great lover of The Who’s music (I know, it’s blasphemy) but I’m even less fond of this particular Tom Petty song.

I just can’t get excited over this match-up.

Given my non-love of either of these, I’m sticking my neck out by picking Won’t Get Fooled Again.

OK, call me a fool! What’s your choice? Oh who cares!

Meatloaf against the Floyd?

You bet. Two great works here for sure. While Paradise fed a generation, The Brick stacks up with the best of them.

I have to go with the Pink Floyd anthem in this battle, but I’ll tell you this, there are not many songs I would ever choose over Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, I loved it then, and I love it now – Another Brick In The Wall is just too good to lose here.

Winner: Another Brick in The Wall by Pink Floyd

WOW! This is like a heavyweight fight isn’t it?

Two classics, face to face and ready to rumble.

I think this one is going to be determined solely by the age of our voters. Older voters will probably side with the Dylan classic here, while the younger music buffs will most likely go with the Police.

In all honesty, this is going to be close. My opinion? Like A Rolling Stone by a pebble – simply because of Dylan’s status as an American icon!
