What's your favorite Classic Rock Song? (other genre's also accepted)?

I'm trying to get back my library after reformatting my computer and I'm curious to know what everyone's favorite song is.

I'm partial to Journey - Open Arms (I'm a sucker for romance and love songs)

(I'd also like to know if it's in another genre, but I'm very much into the oldschool music, 70's and 80's mostly)

Update:

Now that someone's mentioned it, I just wanted to say.

I love the "the" series.

I call it that because a lot of bands during the 80's started starting with "the"

Though they're not relative it seems like a fun saying so I stuck with it.

the "the" series is very much welcome, however I probably have most of their songs already.

    To be honest I'm actually surprised by how ignorant alot of rock fans still are towards hip-hop. Although certain mainstream hip-hop could lead people to believe it's all about money, weed, sex, ect. it isn't like it's that hard to come across conscious stuff on youtube, and even stuff like Lupe Fiasco, Eminem, (some) Kanye West or J.Cole that gets played on the radio doesn't conform to those stereotypes. I don't think this would even come close to killing off hip-hop though. Rappers are still going to continue making music and underground hip-hop still has a relatively large following. Anybody who generalizes an entire genre and fails to respect the skill involved (even if they don't like it) is essentially mentally challenged, so at the end of the day a bunch of ignorant retards isn't going to effect hip-hop that much. BQ: The Beatles
