I had this tune as #1 in my “100 Greatest One Hit Wonder Songs” thread. I made a lot of big mistakes with that thread, mainly that I should have stuck with stringent rules throughout that every song had to be the only top 40 hit for that artist- it would have changed things considerably. Instead I tried to be cute with songs that most come to define an artist, and that didn’t work well. The whole thing was a big mess.
But I didn’t screw up with this song; it belonged at #1 in that category IMO. Talk about a great bassline.

Funny - I always associate the song with the beginning of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.10. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers “American Girl” (from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers)

OK the top 10.
I’ve mentioned before that there are certain songs, like “The Waiting” and “Here Comes My Girl” among others, in which Tom Petty reached for his inner Roger McGuinn. “American Girl” is the prototype of this effort. And it’s sublime for me since there is probably no musical sound I love better than that jingly jangly folk rock.
I want to add that I know a few women in my life that won’t listen to this song because it reminds them of “Silence of the Lambs”.
Better one

Ah, spoken like a professional critic. Can't compliment a great prog rock song without taking an unnecessary swipe at the genre.9. Kansas “Carry On Wayward Son” (from Leftoverture)

It’s always surprised me that this classic rock song has become a favorite of high school marching bands. I get why bands play “We Will Rock You” or “Iron Man”- those are fairly simple melodies. Same for the Gary Glitter classic. But “Carry On” is much more complex, or so it sounds to me.
The lyrics are epic and the epitome of progressive rock: they make no sense whatsoever but they’re fun to sing and they feel important.

A near perfect rock song. I love everything about this, the guitar riff, the lyrics- even the long interlude. The whole thing is awesome.
I really should listen to these guys more. I know nothing other than this tune and “Burnin’ For You” (which I also really like. I’m going to have to explore their other stuff.

Do we have an official Prog thread anywhere? I’m certainly no expert and not even always 100% sure what defines it but I like the genre

So the funny thing is, you probably think Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser is BOC’s main lead singer. He’s not, it’s Eric Bloom. But Buck Dharma sang the two hits you mention.6. Blue Oyster Cult “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” (from Agents of Fortune)

Not only a great song, but due to both the "more cowbell" skit and its use in The Stand, this song is in the pantheon of pop culture classic rock.

The lyrics have always been a bit of a mystery to me because I wasn't sure what Mr. Lydon was singing. Even after seeing the lyrics, I'm not sure of some of the acronyms used in the song. It doesn't take away from the power of the song.4. The Sex Pistols “Anarchy In The U.K.” (Released as a single)

The lyrics were a put on and designed to be shocking -“I am the antichrist” etc. and it worked. But the real power of the song is the driving beat- raw rockabilly at its best. And it transformed popular music.

NME is the New Morrissey Express. Britains premier alternative music magazine
MPLA is People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola
UDA is Ulster Defence Association
IRA is the Irish Republican Army
UK is is the United Kingdom
As Lydon is the son of Irish immigrants, the only odd one is MPLA, but the Angola crisis of 1974/75 would have been big news in the UK.

This is one of the greatest soul songs of the 70s (or perhaps of all time.) The link is to a live performance from Midnight Soecial which is amazing: exactly how many members of this group are there? Including dancers, backup
singers, amd actual musicians I count at least 15 on stage. But it all works. Just an outstanding tune.
I love Bowie. I don’t much love 1976 Bowie.

Hmmmm… what did Bowie release in 1976 … checks Wikipedia…
One of the most-played songs around the world. And yet I still like it, despite not caring for much of the rest of the album it comes from.2. Eagles “Hotel California” (from Hotel California)

So much has been written about this song over the years that there’s nothing much I can add. At least half the time I hear it now I turn it off because I’ve heard it so often (the exception might be the 90s live Hell Freezes Over version which has a Latin flair that I really like.) That in no way doesn’t make it an absolute classic, in a handful of songs considered to be the greatest ever for classic rock.
Not gonna argue with this one, but at the same time, it's not even the best reggae song of the year.2. Eagles “Hotel California” (from Hotel California)

Golden Years was released in 1975 and on my list for that year. TVC15 isn’t good enough sorry.
Stay and the title track, then?
