What songs pep you up, rev you up, cheer you up, or otherwise just really do it for you? You know, the ones that you want to crank up as you roll the windows down (or put the top down) and just blast to the world? Let's hear them...the songs that you love!
Bonus question...if there was only one song on the planet that you could ever listen again, what would it be?

What an unusual choice. But... I agree. :) Hard to hear that one driving in the car and not drive just a little faster, beating on the steering wheel. |

Just a few that recently did cause me to put the top down and crank up the volume... but there are TONS that incite that reaction. :)
Stone in Love - Journey (practically any Journey song, really)
Finish What Ya Started - Van Halen (practically any VH song, really)
Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi (practically any Bon Jovi song, really)

Along with the entire Neil Young catalog this is a candidate for my album of world's most depressing songs.
For something uplifting or the one song I could have on a desert island how about

| It didn't turn out to be much of a "band" but yeah, we played and recorded the music ourselves. It'll take me a while though -- be patient. |
