Vote for Don't Stop Believin' - Journey 1) Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

The title just screams "inspirational". It’s a well-known song that’s almost impossible to dislike. Its well written lyrics about persevering through the toughest of times are enough to make a man cry.


Vote for Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin 2) Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin

anti-commercial message (though it has made them rather a lot of money)

pye


Vote for Dream On - Aerosmith 3) Dream On - Aerosmith

Dream on. A phrase repeated over and over by parents, teachers, and friends alike. Aerosmith took that phrase and created an amazingly inspirational and emotional work of art.


Vote for We Will Rock You - Queen 4) We Will Rock You - Queen

This is a classic song played at sports stadiums all over the country. No other song gets a person so fired up for a sports game.


Vote for Eye of the Tiger - Survivor 5) Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

Although many would argue the placement of this song, this is my own opinion. That said, this song is freakin’ awesome. Not many other songs make you feel like you can take on the whole world like this one does.


Vote for Come Sail Away - Styx 6) Come Sail Away - Styx

This song is rumored to be about being abducted by aliens, I personally like to think of it as a song about adventures and dreams. What’s more inspirational than adventures and dreams (or being abducted by aliens)?


Vote for You're the Best- Joe Esposito 7) You're the Best- Joe Esposito

This song makes you feel like... the best! Surprise, surprise. But seriously, this song says it straight: Don’t take any crap from anyone or anything, because you’re the best... AROUND!


Vote for The Final Countdown - Europe 8) The Final Countdown - Europe

This song inspires one to action and adventure. Plus, it’s pretty freakin’ awesome to rock out to.


Vote for We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister 9) We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister

Don’t let anyone push you around. This song makes me feel like I can stand up to anyone. If you don’t feel like that after listening to this, then... I don’t know. But you should feel like that.


Vote for Juke Box Hero - Foreigner 10) Juke Box Hero - Foreigner

From nothing to a big star. This song really inspires you to action.
