New and Improved Greatest Rock Song Ever

[El_Machinae]

The is this greatest and best song in the world.
Tribute.

(You need to watch it a couple times for it to grow on you)

 

[Whomp]

I'm old so my vote counts for more due to my vast experience.

This song is what all rock guitarists wish they could be.
Jimi Hendrix --Voodoo Child
Same song at Woodstock

Here are some of my favorite air guitar songs.

I'm old so my vote counts for more due to my vast experience.

Or less, due to senility.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

To continue my criticism, where is "I Wanna be Sedated" by the Ramones? Or "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks? How about "I Love Rock & Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts?

Oh, and one more: "Hitchin a Ride" by Green Day.

 

[MjM]

No MAIDEN?!!?

 

[puglover]

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

 

[Whomp]

Or less, due to senility.

Good point.

 

[truckingpete]

How bout Styx's Renagade, or their Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)?

Oh well, many of these songs in this list are pretty good..

 

[Desmond Hawkins]

To save myself from the frustration of racking my brain all night deciding what my all time favourite rock song was, I just narrowed my choices to that of the list.

Out of your list, Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

 

[ForNoOne]

Not on the list, but the Beatles's Helter Skelter

I got blisters on my fingers

 

[MobBoss]

Great list. Dont listen to the whiners...they dont appreciate great music.

From the list these are the ones that stand out for me:

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
Derek and the Dominos - Layla

All of these are simply tremendous. But since I am from the South, I am going to go with Freebird as I have blown my voice out while drinking beer just too many times to it.

 

[Katheryn]

No Jethro Tull?


Hmmm...


I'd say:

Land of Confusion, Genesis
Minstral in the Gallery Jethro Tull
Street Fighting Man Rolling Stones


Definitely nothing in the last 25 years, that is for sure!

 

[ComradeDavo]

The 5 Greatest Rock songs ever...

Tool - Stinkfist
Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People
Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Pearl Jam - Alive

So says me

 

[Panda]

Motörhead - Ace of Spades.

Why are people complaining about the lack of Iron Maiden? They're a heavy metal, not a rock band, and despite their unchallenged greatness have no business in a rock thread.

 

[soul_warrior]

queen's bohemian rhapsody.
its got it all.
thats the one to make me REALLY love music.

 

[JohnRM]

I don't usually complain about poll options, but Pearl Jam DOES NOT deserve to be there.

 

[ComradeDavo]

I don't usually complain about poll options, but Pearl Jam DOES NOT deserve to be there.

Alive is an awesome song! As is Jeremy. But man..Alive really does ROCK!

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

No Jethro Tull?

Goodness, that just reminded me of a Jethro Tull album that has needed to be on my computer for some time now, cheers

 

[Red Door]

My Top 5:

Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Civil War - Guns 'N Roses
Baba O'Reiley - The Who
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin

By default, that's why Baba O'Reiley won.

 

[Eukaryote]

Stairway to Heaven, no matter who you are that song hypnotizes you.
