A buddy at work has been claiming that I'm living "like a rock star"... so, as a joke, I'd like to put together a playlist of songs about rock stars that I can play whenever he comes in my office.

This where y'all come in... I need help thinking of songs about being a rock star, partying like a rock star, or just generally rocking out. Here's what I have so far:

AC/DC - For Those about to Rock
Cypress Hill - Rock Superstar
Everclear - Rock Star
Kiss - I Want To Rock and Roll All Night
Lynyrd Skynyrd - What's Your Name Little Girl
Nickelback - Rock Star
Shop Boyz - Party Like a Rock Star

Any suggestions?
 
Foreigner - Jukebox Hero
AC/DC - Its a long way to the top
The Who - Long Live Rock

Boston - Rock & Roll band
