On "Ride Like the Wind," when Christopher Cross says he is the "son of a lawless man."

Soft rock 'on the edge'...CC taking his queue from Ambrosia's "Cowboy Star"
Vandalism! Sick vandalism! When I get my hands on the little punks I'm gonna hang them by their Buster Browns!

This song is so tuff. But don't take my word for it - take Saxon's word!

I think Gene Simmons might have mentioned that he discovered Van Halen.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

One more thing on the Beatles tip, if I may.

A somewhat sloppy jam, but fun and poignant:

GEORGE.PAUL.RINGO 1995 ONE LAST TIME!!

The parts that do it for me are the Michael McDonald backing vocals - especially when one considers that they were  performed somewhat under duress.

SCTV 3 Gerry Todd and Michael McDonald
That's just the tip of the ice cube.

At 5:15-5:40, you hear the hint of "The Song Remains the Same" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" and at 6:45-7:05 you hear the solo in "Heartbreaker".  Page playing the Danelectro.

Led Zeppelin - White Summer/Black Mountain Side

BTW, I wish this was the signature Page solo for Zep rather than "Dazed"

Audio only, but I'm sure you rock historians will remember the significance.

Apparently when Jeff Stein was unable to locate the footage of this for The Kids Are Alright he burst into tears. I think since it was between songs most of the cameras were changing film or something.

You got to be a real asshole to cry over not being able to see a guy get hit in the head with a big hunk of wood.
