<3 This show, finally saw it recently and hunted down the entire run. I was looking through this wikipedia list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freaks_and_Geeks_(soundtrack) for best soundtrack moment and I couldn't pin it down! Too many good ones! Ones that stick out are the awesome Van Halen selection, that one episode where it's mostly Who songs (including "Boris the Spider"!!!), the Rush tracks (remind me of my little brother's Peart phase), the solo from the best Queen song ever ("Keep Yourself Alive"), "White Room", The Amboy Dukes.... So many great moments in this show, so many great songs!

OK, is it just me, or is one of the Disco hits played during the Disco episode missing from this list?

Man, this is near impossible.... But at the moment I'll go with "Whipping Post."

...coming from someone who does not enjoy The Allman Brothers at all, but this episode was the first time I ever enjoyed hearing it.

Revisiting random episodes, just got done with the fake ID one, and the Billy Joel songs are low-key great usages.
Also Kevin Corrigan coming on to Lindsay: "Wanna see Yes at Cobo?...Richie Blackmore's Rainbow is opening..."

Heh, was wondering who would start such a thread.

"Box of Rain," "White Room" and "I'm One" close.
