Don't get me wrong....I'm not the world's biggest Beatles fan...but you HAVE to respect their contributions to the world of Rock music....
Greatest Rock Song of All Time
- Thread starter ISUCY23

There is a definite distinction between "rock" and "hard rock."
The one song that is always a "must listen" and "turn up the volume" song for me is Enter Sandman. Metallica may have had very simple music, but it was sure great to listen to!
A close second may the Rolling Stones' "Hot for her".

I'm not sure that Staiway is even the greatest Zepplin song. It is probably the most well known and a song people would say if asked to say the first song that comes to mind when Led Zepplin is mentioned. I believe it to be "greatness" but not "genius". I would rather listen to "10 years gone" as opposed to "Stairway" every day for the rest of my life.
Exactly! Many people only think of "hard rock" when they hear the term "rock."
The Beatles, Rolling Stones, & the greatest band of all time, the Monkeys, are all Rock bands!
Well played. That sums it up very well. It's like country and bluegrass. Rock encompasses so much music that everyone will find a large portion of it they don't like. I'm sure I dislike a great deal more of it than I like. Certainly doesn't mean it isn't rock.
I love all the revisionist history. If the Beatles aren't rock, why did every parent over the age of 22 HATE them. They were THE revolution of the 60's. Just because rock got more aggressive and ultimately turned to crap after about 1986, with some nice exceptions, doesn't mean they didn't rock. Listen to Helter Skelter. And that was the "wimpy" McCartney.

Disagree that the Beatles suck.
Agree that Zep is the greatest ever.
Disagree that Stairway is the best song.
(It's not even the best song on that album)
Let's all show some respect for "When the Levee Breaks"
Well...let's be honest, Zep probably holds #2-#10 for greatest songs of all time too.

Agreed. You have to take into account the time and place. Ever see linemen from old black and white reels? Most were the size of your average HB by today's standards. You can't argue that whey weren't linemen based on what linemen look like today.
The Beatles are the greatest alternative band ever. They do not rock.
Spinal Tap rocks!
Do you have Sirius/XM radio? They have stations devoted to different artists. All Zepplin, all AC/DC, all Elvis, etc.
Where is the All Beatles station? I don't hate them. They have a place in history.
