Songs With Great Lyrics and Great Music, Too
Think of songs where the musical introduction is so great that you can't wait for the song - or maybe don't even care for the song.
Or it is so recognizable that you rush to turn the music off (I'm thinking Freebird here)
Or maybe it's a solo or musical section in the middle of the song that brings the lyrics all together.and sounds so good.
Or a long musical song ending that is amazing.
Songs with music that you just love - or songs with music that instantly identifies the song - or songs where the music is actually better than the rest of the song!

Stairway to heaven Led Zeppelin
It was mentioned a ways back, but I have
to say it has one of the most recognizable
intros of any rock song. The guitar work that
makes up this song is incredible, the lyrics even more amazing. Just when you think it couldn’t get any better, comes
that moment at 5:36 in (for me lol) when the song goes to a whole new level. Hands down one of the best rock songs out there and their absolute
masterpiece.

I have heard it said that back in the day, JP was the only guitarist who could upstage the frontman. Just someone's opinion. The trial over the intro was a little weird. JP on the stand was something to hear, especially when they asked if he considered himself a good guitarist.

Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
It's about getting lost in the music from the sound machine, taking a magic carpet ride, and the music just takes me right along with them. Opens with a strange whirling, buzzing, sound like staring up a machine then bam on the electric guitar. The song then grooves off into psychedelic space! My favorite Steppenwolf song.

Immigrant Song Led Zeppelin. I definitely have a song "type" and this is it. As soon as the first ah-ah-ah starts, I am hooked! Amazing lyrics are the icing on the cake 🎂
"We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun,where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the Gods
W'ell drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde,and sing and cry
Valhalla,I am coming!"

In my life is one of my favs also. It is my brothers fav Beatles song too. He has three daughters and they each sang this song with their class at high school graduation. They graduated in 2015, 2017 and 2019. Pretty amazing for a song released in 1965!
