3 awesome choices

Geezus cheerist on toast...I think Spacelord pretty much named them all.
I'm at a loss for words for adding to this post.

The only song that isn't named after a "chick" is "KIM"...haha.

Cool lists there...Space, you're unreal with your lists...awesome! Jesse great top 10 and great idea for a thread...oh well here's mine:

1) Beth - KISS (Yes, Kiss is my favorite band but when I was 12 in 1976 all I listened to and bought were AM Top 40 45's. I loved the song Beth and had no idea who Kiss were(didn't know about the make up!) So I always did love the song and one of our cats is named after this song)

2) Cross Eyed Mary - Iron Maiden ( I bought their Trooper ep in the mid 80's and this was on it...one of my favorite cover tunes)

3) Carol - Chuck Berry (I also love the Stones and Ted Nugent covers of it)

4) Black Betty - Ram Jam(I also like Spiderbait's version)

5) Sheena is a Punk Rocker - Ram ones

6) Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC

7) Pumpin' for Jill - Iggy Pop

8) Evelyn Dick - Forgotten Rebels ( a nice little ditty about a girl who cut off her mate's arms, legs, and head)

9) Joan Crawford - Blue Oyster Cult (as soon as I seen Jesse used this one I knew it would make my list. I had my iPod on shuffle Saturday while shopping with my wife and this song popped up while we're were in the car....great tune!)

10) Ah Leah - Donnie Iris
