Wow! Quite a debatable question there Rock
There are millions of greatest songs out there & even my favorite could have been slightly better
But then again if you put a water pistol to my head...I would choose :
Eagles - Hotel California
This song is probably the greatest rock song ever written (for me that is) The lyrics are dark and almost dreamy, something quite sexual about it too. The guitar starts acoustic & slowly becomes electric 3/4 of the way through - sends shivers up & down my body every time
CLASSIC
Judas Priest - Victim of Changes
Listen to the guitar riff. 1976 this song was recorded & if it were to be released today it would still be just as powerful. Rob Halford screaming after each riff sounds fantastic.
KISS - Love Gun
A very upbeat happy, aggressive song full of lust, probably shocked everyone back in the day .Again the guitar riff is fast and catchy with the lyrics being sreamed at the victim on the other side :]
There are millions more you know...
