Your songs. No one to judge your selection. These are five to ten of your favorite rock songs of all time.
The order you list them does not matter.
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Yes - Heart of the Sunrise
Moody Blues - Knights in White Satin
Jefferson Starship - Miracles
Aerosmith - Dream On
Rush - Limelight
WIngs - Band on the run
Bad Company - Bad Company
Chicago - Make Me Smile ( Terry Kath version, who Jimmie Hendrix when once asked if he felt he was the greatest guitarist, said he thought Terry Kath was. Terry Kath had the voice of Ray Charles, and played guitar like Jimmie Hendrix. Awesome loss to rock and roll, but Chicago did pretty well without him.)
Chicago - Feeling stronger everyday
