Gotta go with "Rock Me Tonite". Great song despite its infamously fruity video.

“ I Hate Billy Squier” should be a song- he sucks
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

The Stroke.
Man I love that song. Takes me back to the skating rink days.
I still crank it when I hear it and I’m sure i get looked at just like Sandler did in Billy Madison.

My favourite also. Just a killer track.

Everybody Wants You is a close second for me. https://youtu.be/GK-v_YndGn4

Yep. Greatest song Led Zeppelin never wrote.

The whole "Don't Say No" LP is a masterpiece. But as others have said, "Learn How To Live" is fuckin killer.

In the mid 80's my boyfriends brother asked me if I knew the lyrics to Limelight, I said I did and wrote them down for him.
He turned it in, got an A, and the stupid fucking English teacher didn't notice Shakespeare in the lyrics???
