My Favorite Songs - A to Z

Longtime readers of this blog know that I love music.  As such, I thought it would be fun to list some of my favorite songs - with a twist: going through the alphabet and picking a favorite by a band from each letter of the alphabet.  It had to be the first band that came to mind for that letter and then my favorite song by that band/artist.  The other caveat - it can't be a one hit wonder.

Here's my list:

A - Aerosmith - "What It Takes"
B - The Beatles - "Let It Be"
C - Counting Crows - "A Long December" (though "Sullivan Street is a close second.)
D - Duran Duran - "Rio"
E - Eagles - "Take It Easy"
F - Foo Fighters - "Everlong"
G - Green Day - "Pulling Teeth"
H - Hootie and the Blowfish - "Let Her Cry"
I - Inxs - "Need You Tonight"
J - Alan Jackson - "Dallas"
K - Hal Ketchum - "Sure Love"
L - Live - "Lightning Crashes"
M - Metallica - "One"
N - Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
O - Old 97s - "Busted Afternoon" (with "Murder (Or A Heart Attack)" being a close second).
P - Pearl Jam - "Black"
Q - Queen - "We Are The Champions"
R - Randy Rogers Band - "Tonight's Not The Night (For Goodbye)"
S - Stone Temple Pilots - "Interstate Love Song"
T - Turnpike Troubadours - "7&7"
U - U2 - "With or Without You"
V - Velvet Revolver - "Fall to Pieces"
W - Weezer - "Buddy Holly"
X - I couldn't come up with an X artist, so I'm going to be give you another G selection - Gin Blossoms - "Allison Road" (this was a TOUGH one....I love so many of their songs)
Y - Eli Young Band - "Even If It Breaks Your Heart"
Z - Zac Brown Band - "Chicken Fried"

There's my list.  What are your thoughts?  How many of these would be on your list?  I love to hear your choices.

Thanks for reading!
