Bob Seger is known for his rock music, love ballads and with that classic raspy voice of his you even get the bar room bluesy songs that his fans love.

Most fans feel that his greatest success came from the release of the now classic rock cd, Live Bullet. This was recorded at Cobo Hall in 1975. He is a master story-teller. Stranger In Town was his 2nd release with The Silver Bullet Band. It has fantastic arrangements and recordings from The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section on it. Bob Seger always comes across as if he were writing and relating directly to all us average people around the world.

One of his songs was used in one of the most memorable movie scenes ever made. My trivia question to you is: Can you name the 1983 classic movie starring Tom Cruise that featured Bob Seger's hit song, Old Time Rock & Roll? I will give the answer after I name my choices of the 5 best Bob Seger songs.

Old Time Rock & Roll is the song that really set things up for Bob Seger. You can't help but sing along and it leaves you feeling really good about life. Music lovers will always remember the dance that is associated with this song.

From the opening notes of the saxophone in Turn The Page, you are captured. It is a journey through time, life on the road and a day in the life of a rock star. Bob Seger paints you a picture and tells you a story that drags you right into his world. Nobody does this quite like he does and that is what makes this one of the best classic rock songs ever written.

Hollywood Nights is yet another perfectly created story about the discovery of love and the inevitable loss of it. This song is so beautifully sung, that even the hurt leaves you feeling good.

We've Got Tonight is the best in Bob Seger ballads. It is perfect for slow dancing and has become one of the top graduation dance theme songs. This song was written for all of us who have ever been in love.

Roll Me Away is a perfect driving song. It is also what I call a daydreamers paradise. Every time I hear this song I find myself getting caught on every word. It has a fantastic, medium paced tempo and delivers one of the most fantasized thoughts ever written. Close your eyes and let this music take you away.

Every time Bob Seger releases an album, it is an event. He has a way of touching the heart and soul of all who listen to him. He can take an average song and make it perfect.

Now for the answer to my trivia question. The 1983 classic movie starring Tom Cruise that featured Old Time Rock & Roll is Risky Business.
