Pretty much everything from Rent...but I love both La Vie Bohemes and Another Day the best. 
I really like Tommy by the Who also. My favorite songs from that are 1921 and Acid Queen.

Posted: 1/2/06 at 5:05pmAs much as I love Rent I consider a true rock musical to be more like Hedwig. So I'll say "Midnight Radio" from Hedwig. Oooh, or "I'm Going Home" from Rocky Horror.

Posted: 1/2/06 at 5:06pmI like I'm going Home too. I also like Rent and if it counts (Rock Opera) Jesus Christ Superstar, I like Heaven on their Minds.
It was 6 hours, I don't even like to have sex and eat bacon for 6 hours.

Ahh, Tommy... it's what I was raised on. Representin'.
Anyway, I would agree with Acid Queen/1921, and also What You Own (it's hard for me to pick my favorite song from Rent, but this is one of the ones that seems most like a rock song in my opinion, in addition to the title song and Another Day, vs. LVB or LMC, for example).

Posted: 1/2/06 at 5:42pmIs Evita a rock musical? I always considered it a Les Mis type of show, poperetta or pop opera, whatever you wanna call it. If it is considered at rock musical, I'd pick the whole score from Evita.

I have always loved Out Tonight, it being one of my favorite RENT songs.
I would love it even more if I could just reach that high note.

The more I read this, the more I realize all my favorite shows are rock musicals. lol. I was going to say anything from RENT or Hedwig, and then I was like, oh yeah, and there's Tick, Tick... Boom! and Rocky Horror.
RENT and Hedwig I have no faves, I love them all.
Rocky Horror I love Time Warp and Sweet Transvestite
Tick Tick Boom I like Come To Your Senses, No More, and Louder than Words
I'm very bad at picking favorite anythings!
