TK's Top 10 Songs of All Time- Numbers 4 and 3

Well I hope you don't have a headache still from headbanging to Queen because the next two songs have arrived on my countdown. We just have 4 songs left but before we go any further here are number's 10-5 on my Top 10 Songs of All Time.

10. AC/DC- Whole Lotta Rosie
9.Van Halen- Ain't Talkin About Love
8. Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven
7. Boston- More Then A Feeling
6. Pearl Jam- Black
5. Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody




Number 4- Led Zeppelin- Whole Lotta Love

'You need coolin, baby I'm not foolin, I'm gonna send you back to schoolin, way down inside, honey, you need it. I'm gonna give you my love, I'm gonna give you my love.'

Yeah enough said. The Zep are the only band to have two songs on my Top 10 Favorite Songs of All Time and for good reason. This song just kicks your ass from second one to its completion. The vocals of Robert Plant are flawless and the way he delivers this song is so tingling it's sweet. We all know what the song is about so don't pretend you're not impressed. And how can we not forget about Jimmy Page and the unbelievable guitar work on this song. The sounds he gets out of his guitar was something no one had ever heard before. The song is just so raw and powerful it all just rocks and works. And the drums, they are just in your face throughout the entire song.

This is my favorite song by them and it arrives at number 4 on my countdown. This is one of those songs that when you hear it come on the radio you can identify it within like a split second and that's what a classic is all about. The sound and pure distinction that Zeppelin has is undeniable and as I mentioned earlier when they were on the countdown they are legendary. This song is so distinct and just so full of pure emotion and power it earns a spot forever in the history of music. 'I'm gonna give you every inch of my love, gonna give you my love.'





Number 3- Velvet Revolver- Fall to Pieces
Well they are only like my second favorite band of all time and this to me is one of the best ballads of all time, so of course they were going to appear on my countdown. This song hits me every time I hear it and I just love this song. The message behind this song and the story is so powerful and not always known but its based on a true story. It is what the lead singer of VR, Scott Weiland has gone through in his personal life as he has been a drug addict for a long time and you can tell he has suffered and it comes so clearly through the songs lyrics. 'Every time I fallen down, all alone I fall to pieces.'

This song is kind of a downer because it deals with a very sensitive subject, but it's message is that you can persevere and come out of it a better person. Then throw in Slash's guitar playing and you have a masterpiece, his solo on this track is one of his very best. The song is just so good and its one of those songs that doesn't get tiring or drag. Listen to it if you've never heard it and you'll see what I'm talking about. Velvet Revolver has only been around since 2003 but they have put out some big time hits, including Slither and She Builds Quick Machines. But none are bigger and better then their power ballad, Fall to Pieces.

I just love the song's message and the lyrical genius of Scott Weiland. The band sounds great and it's one of the greatest songs I've ever heard performed live. It's truly one of the best rock power ballads in the history of rock and roll, so please click the link below to give it a shot for those who are unfamiliar with the awesomness known as Velvet Revolver.




So stick around as I will unveil the top two songs of my countdown tomorrow. The journey has rocked so far and the top two songs on my list will blow you away with how much they rock.
