What rocks your soul at the game?
Does the music played at Ivesco/Mile High or the Pepsi Center fire you up for your team?
Reports Erika Gonzalez:
Earlier this year, the Broncos pulled Gary Glitter's signature touchdown song, Rock 'n' Roll Part II, because of Glitter's recent conviction on child obscenity charges in Vietnam, and replaced it with a customized version of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's Go Daddy-O (changed to Go Bronco). Fans, however, didn't exactly embrace the new tune."It just didn't go over well," said Teresa Shear, director of cheerleaders and game-day entertainment. So, Shear found a more hard-edged anthem: Thunderstruck by AC/DC.
The verdict from the blue and orange jury? "We haven't gotten any more complaints."
Regardless of Glitter's personal failings, Rock 'n' Roll Part II remains the defining arena rock song (small trivia point: the first time Glitter heard it played in a sports venue was during an Avalanche game at the old McNichols Sports Arena). What's your favorite?

How about some fans that are really into the game and team, instead of the wannabees that just go to the games for the prestige!

My sporting venue preference is "Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation. No Avs game is complete without that snippet of deep, driving techno bass, accompanied by that mounrful electronic wail of a melody. If I'm not mistaken, the majority of Avs fans agree.
