Too tough to answer, and honestly, you ask me now and a week from now and I might give you two different lists. I'll try and break a few down by category, and what mood I'm in.
A few that are up in that top echelon for Beerdowner:
Good song to romance a lady to...
Wonderful Tonight - Live from 24 Nights by Clapton
Sit back and chill to a summer night - Fade to Black - Metallica
Best cover song (tie) - Knockin' on Heavens Door by GNR and Last Kiss by Pearl Jam
Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Song that gets me pumped up for Browns kickoffs - Thunderstruck - AC/DC
A gem that no one really knows about - Anything, Anything - Dramarama
Best Rap song - Notorious Thugs - Bone, Thugs, and Harmony and Notorious BIG
(No youtube for language)
Best live song - Creeping Death - Metallica
Best wrestling song intro - The Game - Motorhead
Best song to start a party - Nothin' But a Good Time - Poison
Man...I have so many favorite songs I could go at this all night. The majority of which lay in the 1980-1992 hard rock/heavy metal/hair band era - whaever you wish to call it. I love it to this day. Was just driving through the Metropraks this afternoon jamming to Poison, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Warrant, and others.
Wow... Can't pick one... but if I had to, maybe Liar by Queen with Let It Grow by Clapton coming in at a close second.
Ha... Just had to go look at my iTunes to check my All Time Favorites to see what my subconscious has picked lately. While I do like all these songs, I doubt they are actually my all time favorites, but here is evidently my current top 50 in alphabetical order:
Alive - Pearl Jam Bad Motor Scooter - Montrose Black Betty - Humble Pie Bobby Brown - Frank Zappa Born To Lead - Hoobastank Can't You See - Allman Brothers Circle of Hands - Uriah Heep Faceless Man - Creed Fire On The Mountain - Marshall Tucker Follow The Sun Down - Dark New Day Green Green Grass Of Home - Tom Jones Hammer To Fall - Queen Higher - Creed Hocus Pocus - Focus I'll Love Her - Henry Gross In The Ghetto - Elvis Indian Reservation - Gary Pucket Inside of You - Hoobastank Jefftown Creek - Head East Keep Yourself Alive - Queen Last Kiss - Ricky Nelson Let It Grow - Eric Clapton Liar - Queen Lights Out - UFO Lips Of An Angel - Hinder Looking For Clues - Robert Palmer Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes - Bobby Sherman Paper Sun - Traffic Positively 4th Street - Bob Dylan The Reason - Hoobastank Red (Live) - Sammy Hagar Ride Captain Ride - Blues Image Ring Of Fire - Johnny Cash The Ripper - Judas Priest Rockstar - Nickleback Shannon - Henry Gross Space Station #5 - Montrose Spoonman - Soundgarden Stealin' - Uriah Heep Stranglehold - Ted Nugent Sugar, Sugar - The Archies Sympathy For The Devil - Guns & Roses Ticket Back To Georgia - Head East Tie Your Mother Down - Queen Walk Away - James Gang The Wizard - Uriah Heep You're My Best Friend - Queen Yulunga (Spirit Dance) - Dead Can Dance 30 Days In The Hole - Humble Pie
Kind of interesting to me to see it laid out like this, sorry if it bores anyone.

That is a pretty good list, some really good songs for sure!
Humble Pie.....I remember seeing them at Hara Areana, and they played about a thirty minute version of "I'm a Rolling Stone".....they were a great band to see live!
I am going to have to break out my "Rocking The Fillmore" album now!
Gotta be either "Rock 'n Roll Hoochie-Koo" (Rick Derringer), "California Dreamin" (Mamas/Papas), "All Along The Watchtower" (Hendrix), "Layla" (Clapton), "Wishing Well" (Free), or "Highway Song" (Blackfoot).
Quote: I love a lot of songs, but I think Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven takes the cake.
Yah that is a great song. I am going to go with Champagne Supernova by Oasis though.
What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone?-Churchill
The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, .
Not saying this is my favorite - by ANY stretch - but, what song did they play at Municipal stadium in the late 80's when the Browns came onto the field? I just know it started with what I think was trumpets......Haven't heard that song for a long time.
No way for me to list my favorite, as I have about 200 or so.
But, high on my list would be Don't stop Believing by journey (I think). A lot of Kenny Chesney - Beer in Mexico, There Goes My World, Keg in the Closet - wow - a whole lot of Kenny.
Long Black Train-Josh Turner Spirit in the Sky Running on Empty - Jackson Brown Hurt - Johnny Cash
Man, those are mostly recent ones - too tough to pick a favorite.
