"Gods of War" for me, but "Run Riot" is close behind.

I like "Run Riot" because it is of course The Second Great Fake Insurrection Rock Song of the Holy UK Trilogy (along with Sweet's "Teenage Rampage" and the Prodigy's "Firestarter"). I like "Gods of War" because it is frickin' majestic at the start in a way that Black Sabbath would appreciate without actually sounding like them at all, and, of course, That Ending.

the intro to "Excitable"

Yeah, the 13 year-old Johnny Fever was pretty into that intro.

"Run Riot" is pretty much the best song on Hysteria

"Tear It Down" is the best NON-single from Hysteria.

And yeah, I mean the original b-side, not the later re-recording.

each verse is T. Rex, lead-in to chorus plus most of chorus itself is Sweet, the title part is Gary Glitter.

The song also sounds like Cheap Trick - no?

I'd tend to say more Cheap Trick knew all THOSE influences too. ("Elo Kiddies" as a good example.)

Yeah, but are you brexin' it?
(I'm a-brexin' it!)
Ooh, really brexin' it?
(Yes, I'm a-brexin' it!)
