Is that the movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called, 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.

Don't make me a Target by Spoon off the album Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Incredible song that really captures the art rock aspect of the album while being a very accessible banger on its own.

But... it is the closer!

That being said, I can't decide Baba O'Reilly (Teenage Wasteland) or the Overture from Tommy.

Honestly though, my vote goes to Elton John with Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding.

Honorable mentions are: More than a Feeling, by Boston and Bat Outta Hell, by Meatloaf,

This is such a powerful song, I love the energy along with the history lesson. One of my favorite songs that gets me moving and dancing every time I hear it.

Rush 2112 - the concept basically tie’s every song together on side A. Changed my entire view of music up to that point. I was 14, and have avoided the radio since.

Just because a record has a groove don't make it in the groove...

Such a fuckin banger of a song. I defy you not to end up singing along by the end.

I have a few. I wasn’t around when most of them were at their best but REO Speedwagon, Journey, Queen, Nirvana and Mayday Parade are all still regulars on my Apple Music

Darren Hayes did have a few decent solo tracks iirc, but I don't think any hit the same heights as Savage Garden did.

James Blake has some pretty unique music that I classify as “different”.

The Beatles had a certain charisma that’s hard to match. They were together for a few years prior to fame which created a brother like closeness and charm. I doubt anyone could get close.
