It's hard to say, but I recently (like three months ago) discovered Extreme's "Cupid's Dead". So cool! That looong guitar-bass duet is challenging stuff for your memory. I felt it as a big achievement when I could memorize the whole thing. On solo tunes, I enjoy playing my version of Van Halen's "Cathedral" and Stu Hamm songs like his version of "Linus And Lucy", "The Star-Spangled Banner", "Country Music (A Night In Hell)" and "Terminal Beach".

Another one I can't resist to mention: Tower Of Power's "What Is Hip?". Great tune to play, specially after overcoming the physical problems of playing constant sixteenth-note rhythms at 102 beats per minute.

As I said in my previous post, this is a hard question. The more I think, the more the examples I can mention: Rush tunes like "La Villa Strangiato", "Tom Sawyer" or "The Spirit Of Radio", Buddy Rich's "Slo-Funk"...

I'm always in the mood for "Pressure Drop", be it the original Toots version, or a cover. It's just a well-crafted song that's nigh-impossible to screw up.

The Clash's cover takes it to the next level.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Have you heard the Oysterhead version? I think that they only do it live.


as for my favorite tune to play would be this crazy version of Donna Lee that I play absolutely in reverse and at 300 bpm's.

My personal favs are YYZ (Rush), "The Chicken" (by Jaco) and
"Prelude in C" (Bach). I really enjoy while playing them.

Gotta agree with Chicken, love that groove.
And Chameleon can be sweet.
Also, playing live, I love getting the groove on Sir Duke.
Other than that, I love playing Teen Town, and Donna Lee. Just love the changes on that one,.
