Young Elvis - Jailhouse Rock
Vegas Elvis - In the Ghetto

Personally:

Pink Floyd - Echoes
Guns 'N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
The Doors - The End
Rolling Stones - Paint It Black

Can't choose just ONE, or fifty for that matter.

November Rain - Guns and Roses

I like eric cartmans cover of ' in the ghetto ' better

I could post lot of songs by Pink Floyds , Led zeppelin , Black Sabath and I don't know what.But I must say there is 1 song which is something like Icon

Bohemian Raphsody by Queen (and I am no big fan of Queen)

thats not true man
I do love both and Bob was great on stage 2 years ago in Prague - very good musician

Crazy train for me

tony

every u2 song ? :) :)

The greatest song of the rock-n-roll era:

Kill the Poor by the Dead Kennedys

The Who..

PF were never a top tech players - basicly Its very easy to play their things and I remmeber I could play complete "Wall" cd some time ago.
but that sound , that sound - only ABBA (and I know it sounds strange) can compare with audio arangements , mixing and audio engineering

Metallica - Fade to Black
Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water
Led Zeppeling - Starway To Heaven

too many

Magic Carpet Ride

Nothing against Bob, but that is like trying to compare a well built horse and buggy, to a well tuned F-1.

They are not even in the same class.

To add some perspective, here's some typical "of all time" lists for you guys to mull over...

VH1's top 100 of all time

Copy of the Jacobs Media top 50 list from 1995

About.com's top 500 of all time, this is the top 25 of that list


I would rank a few other songs quite high on my own list, such as....

Gimme Shelter -- stones
Teenage Wasteland --- the who
Sympathy for the Devil --- stones
This flight tonight --- Nazareth
Born to be wild ------ Steppenwolf
Band on the run ---- McCartney and Wings
Don't fear the reaper-- Blue Oyster Cult
American Woman ----- The Guess Who

All Right Now- Free

Stairway to heaven by Led Zep.

Rock & Roll by Led Zep.

One by Metallica or how ever they spell it lol

Light my fire Doors

Hotel Calia Eagles

so many songs too many to list

TOM

Well said

Wake up people....did you forget about AC/DC.....Back In Black! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

very hard to say so ill name a couple.

Guns and roses - sweet child O'mine
Metallica - Fade to black
Led - stairway
deep purple - smoke on the water
Stones - painted black
Iron Maiden - The number of the beast

urgh, so many to list, i can write 100 more but thats not very giving.....

anything by winger

Its pretty obvious that GFY'ers have good taste, in general, to be mentioning Led Zepplin so much here.

Is there any doubt they are one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time? NO.

The greats are Led Zepplin, the awesome Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, The Beatles. They are dubbed "Supergroups" for a reason.

Personally, from Zep, I love Black Dog and Stairway like many GFY'ers, but I also love more obscure titles, like the fabulous "No Quarter", or "Kashmir", and too many others to sit here and mention.

:thumbsup

dude led zepplin sucks. paige is a studio guitarist, and plant can barely hold a melody.

HIM - Join Me

In the City

i like their cover of that Chris Isaac song.

Let's not forget Cream - Swablar, Crossroads, Politician, White Room

Simple Man by Lynrd Skynrd is one of the greats.

I believe this could very well be the dumbest statement ever made on GFY.

I don't like queen too much but Bohemian Rhapsody is very cool, then Pink Floyd - wish you were here and Learning To Fly and many others, lately I often play Uriah Heep - Easy Livin', but I think that there's no way to select ONE song, there could be a top 20 BANDS selection instead :)

i concur. a musical idiot.

Good tune, But..


It needs more cowbell.


:winkwink:

smack is a blasphemer

:1orglaugh





Respect the Zep.

Zeppelin is by far the best rock band ever, not even a question. The Clash? Fuck the Casbah.

Original Sin

Inxs

Batts

it's ok if you like them. millions of people like that crappy band too.

just remember, millions of people also listen to britteny spears.

you obviously haven't listented to much clash.

I used to drive my neighbors nuts with that song when I first moved to my own apartment in 1971.

I would have my stereo cranked up, and played it over and over and over and over and over and over and over . . . well, you get the idea.
