What's Your Name is Lynyrd Skynyrd's last single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Back in 1977, it peaked at #13 on the Hot 100 charts.

Radiohead - Creep

noreply@blogger.com (J. Koppleman) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:32:00 +0000

Creep is by far Radiohead's biggest hit of their career so far. It was their debut single back in 1992. It didn't do very well on the charts then, but it was re-released in 1993, and it became a worldwide success. It peaked at #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts and #2 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts. The band grew to hate the song because it was the main reason fans came to their early concerts. They stopped playing the song live in 1998 and didn't start playing it live again until 2001. Enjoy!

Van Halen - You Really Got Me

noreply@blogger.com (J. Koppleman) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 12:13:00 +0000

Van Halen's You Really Got Me is probably the best song that Van Halen ever recorded, in my opinion. They had a lot of great hits, but You Really Got Me was their first single from their 1978 self-titled debut album, and it sounded so different from all the other late 70's rock songs. It's definitely one of the top ten rock songs of all-time. Enjoy!

Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

noreply@blogger.com (J. Koppleman) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:50:00 +0000

Sweet Emotion was Aerosmith's debut single from their 1975 Toys in the Attic album. It peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. In 1991, they re-released the song as a single, and ironically, it peaked at #36 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. The music video for the song shows a teenage boy talking on a sex line with what he believes to be a beautiful woman. At the end of the video, it's revealed that the woman is actually very overweight, poor and has a baby in her arms while she's talking to him. Enjoy!

Bryan Adams - Summer of '69

noreply@blogger.com (J. Koppleman) — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:29:00 +0000

Bryan Adams' Summer of '69 is one of my favorite rock songs of all-time. I listened to Bryan Adams' Reckless cassette tape relentlessly in the summer of 1985, and I must have re-wound this song a thousand times. It was a top five hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, peaking at #5. Enjoy!

The Doors - Hello, I Love You

noreply@blogger.com (J. Koppleman) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 13:04:00 +0000

Hello, I Love You was the Doors' second and last #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It topped the charts in 1968. It was the second single released from their Waiting For the Sun album. As an interesting side note, Morrison wrote the last verse of the song three years prior to recording the album while watching an attractive African American woman in Venice Beach, CA. Here's the verse he wrote about her:

"Sidewalk crouches at her feet,
like a dog that begs for something sweet,
do you hope to make her see you, fool,
do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel."

The Beatles - Hey Jude

noreply@blogger.com (J. Koppleman) — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 13:41:00 +0000

The Beatles Hey Jude is ranked #8 on Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All-Time. Hey Jude spent nine weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, which is the longest any of their songs stayed at #1. Paul McCartney wrote the song to comfort John Lennon's son Julian while his parents were going through a divorce. The original title of the song was Hey Jules, but Paul changed it to Hey Jude because it sounded better. Julian didn't find out that the song was written about him until twenty years after the songs release. Enjoy!

Don't Be Cruel was one of Elvis Presley's biggest hits. It spent seven weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top 100 charts back in 1956. It's amazing to watch videos of Elvis back in the 50's and 60's. He was absolutely mobbed by his fans every time he went outside. Cheap Trick actually took this song to #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 1988. Enjoy!
