Stranglehold
Stranglehold is one of the most erotic rock songs I have ever heard. It has a hypnotic beat that hooks you, reels you in, and actually puts a stranglehold on you! You can't help but listen.
One of the best songs ever created. I used to listen to this song every night, all night. This is absolutely the best song he's ever created. If only he still wrote songs as good as this one.
A perfectly hard song that will never die. Everyone, including all the bands I know, loves this song.

Cat Scratch Fever
This is a great song by Ted Nugent! I grew up listening to Ted Nugent on a classic rock station and learned to appreciate his music and talent. Rock on, Ted! As someone else mentioned, this is the only Ted Nugent song I know by name, and it's my favorite by him. Long live classic rock!
Not a big fan of Ted's, but I appreciate his talent. I have different tastes in music, but I like this song and really enjoy his attitude.
I'm a baby boomer, and this is the only one I recognize by title, but I always like the song.

Wango Tango
Really? Wango Tango behind the rest of the songs? This song is the epitome of Ted: fun, loud, and ridiculous.

Free-For-All

Fred Bear
As a hunter and archer, this song resonates with me in so many ways. Although I now hunt with a Hoyt, Bear was my first bow.
Listening to this song is so epic, with all the heart and soul that Ted puts into it.
-
Just What the Doctor Ordered
I agree with the list that Stranglehold should be #1. However, I think Just What the Doctor Ordered should be right up there too. It is pure Uncle Ted madness. If you agree, vote for this one.

Stranglehold. Hands down Ted's best work. I've been a Sweaty Teddy fan since the Amboy Dukes.
Nuge classic! Kamikaze from the 100th floor, swan dive to the streets.

Need You Bad
With all due respect to these other great tunes, this is Ted's best work and it's from his best release, "Weekend Warriors."
Full-throttle Chuck Berry rock beat all the way through. It highlights Ted's masterful use of feedback.
Catchy chorus, great rhythm, and a good solo. One of the best of several great songs on this, his best studio album.

Motor City Madhouse

I Want to Tell You
This cover of George Harrison's song is even far better than the original. Ted Nugent did great justice to this rather underrated Beatles song.
