** "Purple Haze" is a rock classic.

* ANYTHING by PhilCollins. Especially, "Invisiible Touch" back when he was in Genesis.Genesis.
* I noticed a disturbing lack of any Buddy Holly on this list... for fucking shame! 'Rave On', 'Peggy Sue', 'Rock Around With Ollie Vee', 'Everyday', 'Maybe Baby', 'Brown Eyed-Handsome Man', the list goes on.
* And for that matter, 'La Bamba', 'Donna', 'Come On Let's Go', 'We Belong Together'. Welcome to your spot here Richie Valens!
* Also pioneers such as The Everly Brothers and Eddie Cochran.
* Finally where the blue hell is Roy Orbison?! 'Only The Lonely', 'Oh, Pretty Woman', 'It's Over' and 'In Dreams' to name but a few. One of, if not the, greatest voices in Rock ever.

** How could Queen be mentioned without anyone saying [[http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGaOlfmX8rQ We Will Rock You?]]. I mean seriously, the beat is probably one of the most easily recognized beats in the country. The *clap clap stomp* is practically a real-life meme.

** Just to further back up how good Mr Brightside is - at every social occasion this Troper has been to, this song has played all of them out, and everyone, regardless of their musical tastes, knows all the words. That's how big it is, at least over here in the UK.

* The live version of the SmashingPumpkins song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6LQvDbCRH8 "silverfuck"]] is made of this trope. With a "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" tease, an extended middle section and the ending which usually detoriates in to mess of feedback makes it a prime example of this trope!
