Something like, oh, I don't know, 'Live Forever'?

This, coming from someone who's remembered the name of one of their songs from sixteen fucking years ago.

'Don't look back in anger' is their 'best' one.
The first line is without doubt the worst lyric I have ever heard. Ever. I realise I am quite given to hyperbole, but on my life I cannot think of a more pathetic piece of writing.

It makes the Human League's 'The Lebanon' look like 'Waterloo Sunset'.

There's a few I like, couldn't pull their names out of a hat but I started my guitar career learning their simple melodies and variations on chords.

I started with 'Wild Thing' by The Troggs, I think.

I tried to drum along to Queens of the Stone Age - 'No One Knows' and '3's and 7's'
Set my sights a little atmospheric there.

I'd try Ramones songs first if I started drumming, I think.

Yeah, I can play along to a few of the simpler punk/rock tracks I tried
But they're a bit boring. I know it's all about keeping the rhythm, but I like a drum beat that gets the chance to just rock the fuck out at times.

'I Don't Live Today' by Jimi Hendrix has an interesting drum pattern
also 'Warning' by the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation (also covered by Black Sabbath).
