    • Rag Doll. Permanent Vacation (1987) Our Favorite Lyric - "Speak easy on the grapevine. Keep shufflin' in a shoeshine. " If you haven't already figured it out, 1987's "Rag Doll" is a slightly subliminal but not totally subliminal song about sex.
    • "Dream On" Aerosmith (1973) Our Favorite Lyric - "I know it's everybody's sin. You got to lose to know how to win. " Okay fine. We'll relent. What makes "Dream On" so impressive is that it was a track on Aerosmith's debut album.

    • "Sweet Emotion" From: Toys in the Attic. The band's first Top 40 appearance includes one of the best uses of a talk box ever recorded (Perry is the manipulated voice you hear at the beginning of the song).
    • "Back in the Saddle" From: Rocks. The opening song on the band's fourth album just cracked the Top 40, but it's another sturdy rocker built on a killer riff and a solid performance by the entire group.
