Greatest Tesla Songs
I forgot about this song until I saw it on iTunes and immediately bought it! Introducing a whole new generation to good old Rock and Roll, as our sons do not like the new stuff on the radio. They want to listen to mom and dad's great music! Thanks, Tesla, for such a great song!
I've heard this song so many times on the radio, without knowing the name of it or even the band! This song brings back great memories.
This isn't just the best song from them, but the most amazing song I have ever heard from them. The video is so awesome!
The heartfelt lyrics and emotionally driven melody make this an amazing song. My wife and I would leave each other notes with the lyrics to this song when we were dating. Every time I hear this song, I think of her.
I haven't listened to all their songs yet, but of what I have, this is absolutely their best for me. The smooth, heartwarming, and catchy guitar strumming, lively vocals, and deeply moving lyrics are all great. I loved it from the first time I listened!
The ending riff, where the chords are being slowly strummed and Jeff is sort of whispering "what you give," literally saved my life. Tesla will always be the greatest ever.
This song captures everything that Tesla is as a band. The solo is very memorable. The hook is unmatched by any of their other songs. This is the song you hear on the radio and say, Hell yeah, Tesla kicks ass! Modern Day Cowboy IS Tesla.
Modern Day Cowboy holds up to today's standards of what a kick-ass, get-your-ass-in-gear rock song is all about! Wow!
This is Tesla's best song by far. If all their songs were half this good, they'd be the headliner, not Def Leppard.
This was the first song I had ever heard by Tesla, and man, what a great tune. It never gets old, its point hits home, and you can't help but sing along!
My parents brought us kids up on all 70s and 80s rock bands, hair, and metal music! Tesla is one of my favorites and this song is my #1!
Love since the early 90s and will never forget. Saw you open for Skynyrd in Chicago back in the day!
A hard-driving tune, with a real message in the lyrics that flows from beginning to end.
Love the methodical approach. Start slow, finish fast! Good rock ballad!
Should be right behind Love Song in the number two slot.
This should be in the top three! Great power ballad!
A masterpiece. From the masterful guitars, the heavy transition, and the great lyrics, there is so much in this song to listen to over and over for decades.
Song and Emotion is one of their greatest hits, even though most of their songs kick ass!
Awesome hard rocker. Should be in the top 5 at least.
One of their best! It's definitely underrated.
The Newcomers
The lyrics are so uplifting, but it's the syncopated rhythm in this one that I can never get enough of.
Falling rain outside my window, but all in all, it's getting better every day.
Great song. My vote is an underdog vote. Tesla has a lot of great songs.
One of the biggest hidden gems in the whole Tesla catalog. If you aren't a big fan, you won't even notice it tucked away on Great Radio Controversy. How it wasn't bigger, I have no idea.
Darien Lake, NY, summer 1989, pouring rain, lightning flashing, and this song being played live at an outdoor concert. It doesn't get much better.
An absolute cracker of an album track. All great albums have them. For GRC, this is it.
I agree with the comment below - love this song. I love all Tesla songs.
Whenever I hear these guys go from acoustic to electric at the beginning of this song, I get goosebumps. So good!
Yeah, the sound of that guitar is amazing. The groove is awesome.
Love this song. It's the 80s version of "Over the Hills and Far Away" by Led Zeppelin, which is about the greatest compliment you could give to a song. It should be at least in the top 10.
Should be in the top ten, definitely!
Another criminally underrated Tesla tune.
Freedom Slaves is another gem from Tesla!
How is this not in the top 10? Seriously. This is their best song, period. What the...
Awesome song. Reminds me of the style of Loverboy!
There are other Tesla songs as good, but I defy you to find one better!
Criminally underrated. It should be in the top five.
This one should be in the top five. Come on, people!
This one must just not be popular because it's the best Tesla song and should at least be in the top three.
One of the most underrated songs from Tesla. Give it a listen. You won't regret it!
Took a shot to the chin. From the very first line, this is top-notch.
Very underrated song! Nice to see it get some respect!
One of their best slow songs, and that is saying a lot.
One of their best ass-kicking songs! Listen to it and you will say the same!
My personal number one. The slide guitar is so awesome.
Wonder why this great song didn't at least reach the top 10.
Aside from the grammatically incorrect alot versus a lot, this is a great song from an underrated album.
I think it was the best Tesla song. Why not in the top 5?
