"East Side" Dave of the Morning Rat Race (6 to 10 AM)

Sports and rock.....they go together like hot dogs and beer!   So...we're putting together a list!

Behold!   It's East Side Dave's Top 5 Rock Songs Played In Sports Stadiums!   Play ball!

5.) "Blitzkrieg Bop" by The Ramones

If you tune in to the NHL or NBA these days...the opening riff of this Ramones' classic can be heard rather frequently!

4.) "Enter Sandman" by Metallica

Two words: Mariano Rivera.  The Hall-Of-Fame Yankee closer came in to the bottom of the ninth with this song...and it is legendary!

3.) "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes

It feels like every college football stadium in America plays this song twice...first on the P.A. system...and then by the college marching bands themselves!

2.) "We Will Rock You" by Queen

The iconic percussion of this song puts it very high on the list.  And, quite frankly, Queen could be listed TWICE as teams that win a championship often play "We Are The Champions" as well!

1.) "Welcome To The Jungle" by Guns N' Roses

It's played before tons of NFL kickoffs, NHL faceoffs and NBA tipoffs; during pivotal moments of MLB games; and in nearly every other sport as well!  We're just waiting for this G'N'R masterpiece to be played during Golf!  That would f'n rule!
