Just curious what stays with people...

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. From Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who.
"do you want my blood? Do you want my tears? What do you want? What do want from me? if I promised you the answer would you go? Pink Floyd "what do you want"
"one man's fun is another's Hell" Metallica "sad but true"
They say politics is a last refuge,
so many scoundrels claim.
Steal a little and they'll throw you in jail,
steal a lot and they'll make you a king.

Bob Dylan-1983

I stated my favorite earlier, but I really needed to add that. His voice goes through my head like a knife, but he has to be one of the finest poets/lyricists ever, bar none.
My two favorites are:

Chuck Berry's
As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville
and

Smokey Robinson's
Oooh, Baby Baby
"I was kinda nervous when she bent down to tie the laces of my sho-o-oe. Tangled Up In Blue." Bob Dylan
