Greatest Rock Song of All Time

[dosry5]

Bye, Bye, Bye - 'N Sync. No other song in this or any generation truly captured true emotion and passion in the musical verse. Truly the folks responsible for such a masterpiece can see beyond just the music, but into the soul of a man and then take that into the speakers of the world.

jimilad or not...turn your man card in

Especially since it's not even their best song. :smile: That is probably "Jesus Ranch."

Um... let's see. It's really hard to narrow this down, because there are so many criteria. Here are a few: "My Generation" or "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who. "Cocaine" by Clapton. "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. "Revolution" by the Beatles. "Lithium" by Nirvana. "Wild Horses" by the Stones. "Nicotine & Gravy" by Beck. "Life on Mars" by David Bowie. "Down by the River" by Neil Young. "Hanky Panky" by Tommy James & the Shondells.

I'm more of a fan of "Wonderboy" or "FHG" myself (two of my karaoke favorites)...

I watched VH1's greatest rock songs the other day and they had Welcome to the Junge as number 1.

 

[cyclonefan2010]

not sure if this would classify as rock but i gotta go with "Don't Stop Believin' - Journey"

 

[peteypie]

Just a couple that I will always turn up when I here them

Juke Box Hero by Foreigner
Pinball Wizard by the Who

 

[ZCyclone]

off topic but does anyone else think the beatles suck but me? I cant stand there music

and you tell me to turn in my man-card? Their music is anti-suck if anything.

I'll go with Layla also. It is quite difficult to play and has so many transitions up to and including the outro which is the best...

 

[cycloner29]

Anything from AC/DC pretty partial to Thunderstruck though.

 

[jsmith86]

Juke Box Hero.

 

[cloneluke80]

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

 

[LeBron]

Stairway. End of discussion.

Um... The Beatles do not suck. You may not like them, but that does not mean they suck.

My vote would have to go to Baba O' Riley by The Who.

 

[herbicide]

Doors L.A. Woman

 

[cmoneyr]

Pick any song by Clapton.

 

[bballisu11]

Come Together- The Beatles

 

[Phaedrus]

I'm 45, which should make me a Beatles fan, and I agree. Out of the top 100 or so best rock songs, I wouldn't put a single Beatles song on it.

Lucas Davenport and I have more than one thing in common.

BTW, the Beatles don't suck, they just aren't a rock band, and what they play isn't really Rock music. Even among the British invasion bands, they are the least "Rock-like".

What they play is "pop", and shouldn't be confused with music that originates from the nether regions.

I liked Nirvana but it's one of those cases where being dead helps your street cred. If Kurt was still alive, none of Nirvana's songs would be in the top 20.

My personal favorite is Going to California by LZ.
