'Cross The Breeze, This Is A Low and Pink Cigarette all rule. There are heaps more there, but those stand out.
Great to see Shatner's cover of Rocket Man on this list, which I prefer to the original.
I'm a ROCK-IT MAN!
Hell yes regarding Shatner. I know it's supposed to be taken as a novelty song but he's got a great unique delivery. And good dance moves.
Your favorite Metallica track is "Enter Sandman"? Seriously?
Yep. I'm not a big Metallica fan. I should probably take them off entirely. What surprises me more is that my favorite RHCP song is "Sir Psycho Sexy". I'll have to update this.
