your favorite ROCK song of all time

Baba O'Riley

 

[czech09]

Anything for the Beatles it's hard to pick one.

 

[toolboxolio]

Bohemian Rhapsody...

/thread.

 

[angminas]

Genesis- The Fountain of Salmacis
Pink Floyd- Another Brick In The Wall
Jimi Hendrix- All Along The Watchtower
Crosby, Stills, & Nash- Wooden Ships
The Doors- L.A. Woman
Marillion- Incubus

Right behind them:
Pearl Jam- Black
The Doobie Brothers- Black Water
Steve Earle- Copperhead Road
Marillion- Warm Wet Circles
The Moody Blues- Legend Of A Mind
Van Halen- Hot For Teacher

I wouldn't argue real vigorously against any of these. Yes, I can already hear the objections. It sure as taxes isn't anything by the Beatles or the Stones. Ick, I say!

No favorite, but Ain't Talkin' Bout Love by Van Halen comes to mind as a great riff.

That's a good one. So is the riff from 'mean streets' on the second album.
I'm with you, I can't single out a song or artist or album.

Why is that song so good? It's just... fun I guess. The lyrics are ridiculous too. I love that song.

 

[xSauronx]

Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix

never cared for the SRV cover of it

 

[gerwen]

Relatively recent:
Stand - Blues Traveller

Older: So hard to pick, Magic carpet ride is a great suggestion. Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith ranks up there.

 

[Fingolfin269]

I love so many but since I'm reading this today and listened to some Floyd on the way in to work...

Pink Floyd - Time

 

[fLum0x]

VH1's list

All Along the Watchtower is the first thing that popped into my head when I read the thread title. I don't know why, I haven't been on a Hendrix kick in years, but there it is.

The middle parts of that song in particular make me wonder what planet the guy was from. Brilliant stuff.

[Mucho]

Stairway To Heaven

 

[cKGunslinger]

ROCK Lobster

 

[BrianH1]

Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding-Elton John

or:

Where to Now St. Peter?-Elton John

 

[manowar821]

Some of these aren't even close to being rock...

I'd have to say mine is: NoFX - Idiots are taking over

I know, it's punk rock, but it's rock, at least.

 

[weirdichi]

I'll take me some Creedance Clearwater.
