I've been lucky enough to see a good few of them myself. So I know what you mean
"Borderline," Madonna
"Why Don't We Do It In The Road," the Beatles.
Okay, okay, I'm kidding. (Although "Borderline" really is enjoyable for me.)
"In the Name of Love," U2. Great music and social commentary.
Whoops, hit Cntrl+Enter accidentally. Still editing.

Okay, I took too long. Trying again. To continue....
"In the Name of Love," U2. Great music and social commentary.
"Layla," Derek and the Dominoes, aka Eric Clapton. Killer intro and took a bend away from normal rock.
"Blues Variation," Emerson Lake & Palmer. Hey, I'm a prog rock guy, and this one is the proggiest rockiest.
"Nights in White Satin," Moody Blues. There's other songs of theirs I like more, but bringing in the symphony to bring down the house? Wowzers.
"Foreplay / Long Time," Boston. Sexual innuendo in the title, and basic driving rock doesn't get better.
"Love (Reign O'er Me)," the Who. All the musical and lyrical elements come together in Daltrey screams.
"Europa," Santana, but the one off the Viva Santana! album. Soaring, peaceful, forceful, dynamic. If you don't hear energetic sex after the 60-second guitar sustain, you're not really listening.
"Highway Star" by Deep Purple. No better driving music. Don't get pulled over.
"Taxi Driver," by Harry Chapin. So tragic and so elegantly composed.
and I could have done eight of these by the musical genius of this next group, but let's go with.....
"Comfortably Numb," Pink Floyd. Rage, sorrow, despair, drugs (how rock can you get?), all synthesized at the end in one of the best guitar solos in rock, not because it's so fast or changing, but because it invokes the song's mood so perfectly.

Good list
While I enjoy the Beatles singing "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?", I also have a fond spot for Jimmy Buffet's "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Scr*w?"
