What is the Greatest Rock song ever?
 

this question came up at the bar last night. my vote goes to The Clash's "Career Opprotunities".


what do you fucks think?

Mr. Brownstone

Rocky Mountain Way by Joe Walsh

crazy train

It is impossible for the best rock song ever to come from a second rate group like the Clash

are you smoking shampoo? the clash is one of the greatest bands ever.

YARGH! I be a Rush fan so Tom Sawyer. Not my personal favorite, but fits the topic.

your mother must have dropped you on your head several times as a baby

that's neither here nor there. ;]



well, what's your vote for best rock song then?

SLAYER - "Angel of Death"

YARGH! A good one. Another great one by them is Exile.

I dont think it is possible to pick just one song as the best ever.

raining blood fucking rocks too.

Painted Black by the Stones

Lyrics are here

it's really not, but just takea stab at it.


picking the best rock song ever is a gross over simplafacation of music. :winkwink:

yeah, hard to pick just one from them
Angel of Death, Exile, God Send Death, Altar Of Sacrifice, Raining Blood, Dead Skin Mask, South Of Heaven, Necrophiliac...

I dont think there is such a thing as a greatest rock song. Rather, there is a huge list which is tied for first.

"Children Of The Grave" by Black Sabbath
"Sweet Emotion" by Areosmith
"Smoke On Water" by Deep Purple
"Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin
.
.
.
etc

Thats not rock, thats heavy metal :winkwink:

Hell bent for leather- Priest
Holy Diver- Ronnie James Dio
Love Gun- Kiss

:Graucho

i'm going completely general and putting metal, punk, classic rock, and every other kind of rock into this.

I can't believe someone said Black Dog, I was just scrolling down to say that myself.

if i get enough responses for the same song, i'll start a poll to settle this. ;]


i'm also throwing in "Mamakin" by Aerosmith

Led Zeppelin has so many songs that rock, but Black Dog is definitely one of my favorites.

Don't know..what is it?

Metallica - Fade to Black

LA woman

Roadhouse Blues

also zeplins back dog is good

A lot of GnR

I dont think there is ONE best rock song.

You all love the bukkake :upsidedow

Thats a great song :thumbsup

We're talking ROCK and you say The Clash? Whos the best Female heavy metal singer, Cindi Lauper?

I don't think there is one song that is the greatest ever. But, one of the greatest ones would definately have to be "Honey Hush" by Foghat. Foghat kicks ass, eespescially their live shit with Lonesome Dave Peverett & Rod Price back in the 70s. :thumbsup

you cant fuck with ronnie, PERIOD :winkwink:

vixen?? :winkwink:

I like to rock out to the fruity sounds of Barry Manilow's Mandy.

If i ever see meatlo*f in this thread i will personally fly over to this person and assasinate him/her.

Barry Manilow is a gangster

LOL I saw that one coming. :1orglaugh

thankyou

Joe Walsh - Lifes Been Good. :thumbsup

ok, ok fuck it we will go with lita ford then, sheeez. Fuck around I might break out Heart :1orglaugh

I love that song...Now i gotta listen to it

Now if we were talking female rockers I would say Joan Jett and Pat Benatar(before she went mellow).

Karma Chameleon - Culture Club

Anything by THE WHO!, It´s hard to choose just one from them...

I love THE CLASH, but i agree they don´t fit into ROCK, they were more the fusion of punk and reggaee.

stay away from captain howdy

I agree 100%

The song that has made the #1 for best rock song of ALL TIME is

Stairway to heaven by Led Zep.

That song by far always has been and always will be #1.


The OTHER rock song that has slipped into that #1 spot the second most times (and remember, these top 100's of all time are voted on by millions of people) is:

Hey Jude by the Beatles.



There's your #1 and #2 right there. I would put "Bohemian Rhaphsody" by Queen at #3.

im gonna vote that stairway to heaven is by far the most burned out, overplayed song in the history of radio.

"wish you were here" - pink floyd

germ loves the bukkake

Run DMC - "Kings of Rock"

I'm the king of rock, there is none higher
Sucker MC's should call me sire
To burn my kingdom, you must use fire
I won't stop rockin' till I retire

Now we rock the party and come correct
Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect
Got the right to vote and will elect
And other rappers can't stand us, but give us respect

They called us and said we're gettin iller
There's no one chiller
It's not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller
As one def rapper, I know I can hang
I'm Run from Run-DMC, like Kool from Kool and the Gang
Roll to the rock, rock to the roll
DMC stands for devestating mic control
You can't touch me with a ten foot pole
And I even made the devil sell me his soul

Now we crash through walls, cut through floors
Bust through ceilings and knock down doors
And when we're on the tape, we're fresh out the box
You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
For every living person we're a purple treat
It's me and DMC, Jay where's the beat?

Now we're the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool
I'm DMC, I rock and roll. I'm DJ Run, I rock and rule
It's not a Trick or Treat and it's not a April Fool
It's all brand new, never ever old school

Stairway to Heaven :thumbsup
