No way can I pick just one. I have 6 of those CD’s (even more if I still had my albums). I’ll tentatively rank them like this.

  1. ‘Gimme Shelter’ by The Rolling Stones from Let It Bleed
  2. ‘Baba O’Riley’ by The Who from Who’s Next
  3. ‘War Pigs’ by Black Sabbath from Paranoid
  4. ‘Come Together’ by The Beatles from Abbey Road
  5. ‘American Pie’ by Don McLean from American Pie (I can’t believe I’m putting this at 5. I’m doing this quick, but I love all of these tunes).

In my opinion:
1 ‘Baba O’Riley’ by The Who (guitarist​:smile: :clap:)
2 ‘War Pigs’ by Black Sabbath (drummer :+1:t2: :+1:t2: :+1:t2: :clap:
3. ‘Gimme Shelter’ by The Rolling Stones
I have not known any of these recordings so far.They are really cool especially “Baba”

“Being Boring”. Pet Shop Boys. Album “Behaviour”. Maybe their best album.
