Hey, you stole #1 from Dissention, you copycat.
And you're welcome for the rules, you anarchist.

[TheBlueLamp]

Ok, I might have a couple of dodgy (lyric-wise) songs in here because although there are some horrid lyrics in a certain song, the rest of the lyrics make up for the bad part.

1. Battle Of The Dragon
2. Doing The Best I Can (Escape From Berlin)
3. Outside The Rain
4. One More Big Time Rock And Roll Star
5. Long Distance Winner
6. Illume
7. No Spoken Word
8. Storms
9. Silver Springs
10. If I Were You
11. Freedom
12. Fall From Grace
13. Gypsy
14. Sable On Blonde
15. Bella Donna
16. Beauty And The Beast
17. Welcome To The Room...Sara
18. Rock A Little (Go Ahead Lily)
19. Fire Burning
20. Street Angel

Ok, Bella Donna probably would've been higher if it not for the word "phony". That one word really irritates me in this song. And I know "Street angels live on the street and they always will" is pretty stupid, but I love the "So I ended it..." verse. I'm sure some of my other choices will have some people scratching their heads, but each of these songs has something about it I really love.

This one almost made my list. Still, I like the sound more than the lyrics, especially the "You're not listening to me" at the end.

These are two favorites. I love the images they conjure. Much better than the straightforward (non-Stevie-penned) Every Day.

2. Beautiful Child

You want difficult, explain the "when you were only ten" line.
