Hey!
I'm a foot without a sock without you
Love!
You seem to work around the clock
Say!
All I wanna do is rock
Ohh
I presume Travis will win

Won't be as active in this tournament as I have been in the past as just started with a new job, except the actual job I'll be doing doesn't begin until mid-October, so in the meantime they have me doing another entirely different job in a different building with different people for the next few weeks until my real job starts. So I'm trying to get used to the one job, and then I'll have to get used to something else altogether... It's quite stressful... I've essentially got to go through new job anxiety twice over in the space of a month... ***sighs in despair***
Will try to look in every now and again though, because in the words of Paul Gilbert, "I Like Rock"

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love. I love Teenage Kicks, and probably just about prefer it to Whole Lotta Love, but as rock songs go it's hard to beat the old TOTP theme tune.
Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower

RE: FoGs Greatest Rock Song Ever - E.N. - 11-10-2021
Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love Vs The Undertones - Teenage Kicks
Just personal there. I'll accept that WLL is the better song, but I've always loved Teenage Kicks
Green Day - When I come around Vs Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower
Unlucky draw for Green Day there, but it's up against a stone cold classic
Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing Vs The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog
Great nomination, and arguably the only rock song in the pair
My Chemical Romance - Welcome To Free Black Parade Vs Bon Jovi - Lie to Me
Love it, cracking tune from start to finish

Oof, the draw has been very unkind there
AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie
Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench (both brilliant, so just going for personal favourite)
Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane
Abstain
Evanescence - Bring Me To Life (again, love both but going for my favourite, which I'll accept is probably just recency bias)
