Anyone like this song? It's a pretty sad song. The Leader of the Pack dies at the end in a motorcycle crash.

I love that song! As I recall there was some debate at the BBC about whether or not to play it because of the subject matter. Fortunately, it won out in the end and was in regular rotation.

Still stands up as a cool song. About rebellion, as well as lost love. Its iconic rocknroll.

Other songs of the same era took the tragic theme too far and got maudlin and stomach turning like "Tell Laura I Love her", and "Teen Angel".

That genre finnally ended with this spoof:

It depends on if an artist/band I like did a cover of it.
