Ok this is the 100 Greatest Rock Songs Ever thread. How this will work is you make a list from 1 to 10 which you think are the greatest rock songs ever. Any genre of rock will be accepted including metal, punk, alt, rap rock, pop rock, classic, country. After 1 month I will tally the votes and post the list. If the thread isnt so popular it will be taken down to 50. Please down include bands no one has ever heard ever like splincity or ragamuffin. Feel free to include why you think each is that good. This is my list-

1.Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody: Silliness, fun and bravado.

2.The Who- Baba O`Reiley: Keyboard introduction, power chords, awesome drumming. Who can forget the lyrics "teenage wasteland...........we`re all wasted!".

3.The Clash- London Calling: Most important anti-war song ever.

4.Lynyrd Skynard- Sweet Home Alabama: Best guitar riff ever.

5.Aeorsmith- Walk This Way: Influenced rap/rock. Guitar riff kicks ass.

6.Led Zepplin- Over the Hills and Far Away: Best accoustic guitar line ever. Geniusly put together.

7.The Rolling Stones- Wild Horses: Best song Stones ever wrote. Great simple song.

8.Bruce Springsteen- Born to Run: Greatest epic "story" song ever. Alive, passionate and full of life.

9.Kiss- Rock and Roll All Night: Greatest rock and roll anthem ever. "Rock and Roll All Night, party every day!" We can all relate to that.

10.U2- All I Want Is You: Most romantic, sweetest song ever written.

1.led zeppelin:stairway to heaven
2.the beatles:elenor rigby
3.the rolling stones:sympathy for the devil
4.nirvana:smells like teen spirit
5.guns n` roses:sweet child of mine
6.the doors:l.a women
7:jimi hendrix:all along the watch tower
8:the clash:london calling
9:the ramones:wanna be sedated
10:black sabbath:iron man

ohhh that was freekin` hard.........its hard to narrow it down!i will probably change my mind later but o well i tried!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this IS hard!!! does it have to be 10 different artists? or just different songs....i mean, cuz AcDC kix.....butt. i`ll try to vary it. (these aren`t nessacarily in order...that would be WAY too hard)

1)i aggree. Ironman (black sabbath) yeah, one thing though. it`d be nice if they had vocal parts instead of all at one time. the guitar part is wicked!!!
2) shoot to thrill (AcDC) it`s by AcDC, that`s good enuf reasoning.
3) i dunno if u knew this but Led Zepplin did a wicked remake of Smoke On The Water, it doesn`t have the techno organ in the chorus, which makes it alot better.
4)7 nation army, i don`t usually like white stripes, but that`s just a cool song
5) another AcDc, back in black.....just cuz.....well, it`s AcDc, it can`t be bad....what am i saying?!?!?!?! nevermind, just cuz this song really rocks.
6) Enter Sandman is pretty good, and it doesn`t rock as hard.....what i consider sort of a relaxation song. lol
7) highway to hell, by...who else? i don`t usually go for these corrupted ones, with hell in the title but that one was just really good.
8) Detroit rock city (the beggining rox!!!) oh yeah...by: Kiss
9) thunderstruck....i`m starting to wonder if i`m a little obsessed with AcDC....oh well, whatcha gonna do?
10) would have to be......problem child. how`d u guess....AcDc!!!

P.S. u guys don`t seem taken up with this punk rock, y`know? Linkin park and all that junk. make-shift lyrics, pathetic guitar solos.....it just doesn`t do it for me. glad sum1 else aggreess!!!
P.S.S. sry for all the AcDc stuff, i AM obsessed....and i nvr know what else to download!! thanx for all the ideas!!!

1)Vodoo Chile-Jimi Hendrix(Jimi is King)
2)Texas Flood-Stevie Ray Vaughn(SRV is crazy on his strat and this song is one of his best)
3)Stairway to Heaven-Led Zepplin(The best guitar solo ever)
4)Paranoid-Black Sabbath(just a good song)
5)cocaine-Eric Clapton(Clapton is one of the best guitarists of all time)
6)Eruption-Van Halen(Eddie has a perfect riff)
7)Crazy Train-Ozzy Ousbourne(Randy was the Best)
8)Johnny B. Goode(Orginal Rock Sound)
9)Sultans of Swing-Dire Straits(real good song)
10)why can`t this be love?-Van Halen(favorite song off all time)

Um, I will give it a shot, I can come up with a few, but to narrow all the other ones down will be hard. I have one in order, the all time best song I know, but none of my other ones will be in order.
1. 2112-Rush The best song ever!
Okay, the rest are out of order.
2. Stairway to Heaven-Zepp
3. Sultans of Swing-Dire Straits
4. Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen
5. It Smells Like Teen Spirit-Nirvana(I had to pick between about 20 Nirvana songs, and I will only put that one down, but there are tons of other great ones)
6. Santa Monica-Everclear
7. Good Riddance-Green Day
8. Either Iron Man or Crazy Train, I`d like to put only one Ozzy Song down so I can have more variety, and I guess that is by either Black Sabbath or Ozzy depending on the song
9. Layla-Derek and the Dominoes
10. Adam`s Song-Blink 182
Man, as I said on Nirvana about half of those have other songs by the same band that could take their places, but there it is, I had to put a little variety in there too, I didn`t want it all to be the same. And I don`t know if it would count on this thread, but as a 11th vote i put Sing, Sing, Sing-Benny Goodman, but yeah that is a totaly different style.

Hey, to the person who put in the original message.....i downloaded the one by U2, i thought it wasn`t that great....what do u like about it? even the lyrics weren`t to great
