Thread Name: Most classic headbanging songs ever!
Subject: RE: Most classic headbanging songs ever!
I was never an adolescent male, but I went through a phase...
Smoke on the Water - OK, but too much of a 'classic' now. I wouldn't classify much 'classic' rock as head-bangin' music. For instance, I LOVE Jethro Tull, but never banged my head while listening. I always thought of head-banging stuff as being even louder. Black Sabbath's 'Iron Man' springs to mind. I saw them in London in 1980 (I think it was '80).

I had a traumatic experience surrounding 'You Shook Me'. I was living in a dorm. The woman next door was engaged in 'shaking' with partner picked up in bar, and had that album, at volume eleventy-billion, on continuous replay during and after said shaking. They passed out after a while, but AC/DC was still goin' strong. I shut off the circuit breaker to her room for long enough to kill the music. Don't know if she was late for work the next day or not. In any case, every time I hear that song, I want to find out where she lives now and go strangle her.
