Greatest rock song of all time

Squall

Mine would have be say stairway to heaven (Zepplelin obviously). I can listen to it all day. Its amazing, when i compare it to any other song they always come up short.

GoneShootin

theres really only one

BACK IN BLACK

tho Ballbreaker was another tough solid rock tune

Squall

only one reply come on lads there musty be other opinions out there.

Oeneus

Gone Shootin, if we have to pick an AC/DC one, It'd be "For those about to Rock!......FIRE!!!!!!...WE SALUTE YOOOOUUU!"

such a great anthem!

But generally, i think I'd agree with Stairway, or maybe Sweet Child O' Mine, or Bohemian Rhapsody! Damn it's hard to pick!

DrunkLeprachaun

Including metal?
I Can't Hide by Pantera.

Robbo

The Who - "Won't Get Fooled Again"

Or something Icelandic.

Karl Hungus

Monty Python - Sit On My Face

But seriously?
Couldn't possibly answer this question.

beardedchicken

Kashmir- Led Zepellin

totally under-rated!

Beruthiel

how the hell could I possibly answer that?? there are way too many to mention!
this month it's Deep Purple and 'Smoke on the Water'

"Is this the real life..."

Bohemian Rhapsody probably, if not only for the song, but then for the classic moment in Waynes World in the car.

Although, there is a fair chance that'd I'd choose U2 - Dirty Day... not really an anthem, but it's great...

Otherwise... I dunno... Gong - Let Me Be One

or... ooooooh... Type O Negative - All Hallows Eve.

But probably Bohemian Rhapsody. Or even Stairway... DAMMIT! <runs off to think>

cournioni

Er... Rock song?

I'd have to say Emerald by Thin Lizzy.

If you can include metal, it would have to be Cemetary Gates by Pantera.

RexLupus

At the moment its Come As You Are- Nirvana

A few days ago it was Iron Man--Black Sabbath

deco

Ah yes the ultimate question of all time...the greatest rock song

An ever changing field but the one that stands out most has to be :

"Ace Of Spades"-Motorhead

Best wake up song of all time.

Closely followed by "Head Like A Hole"-NIN

Trent we salute you!

Interesting fact coming up.

Did you know that Smoke on the Water was wrien about a Frank Zappa and The Mother of Invention gig. Someone in the crowd set off a firer work and the place brunt down, hence the smoke on the water. Frank zappa and the mothers are mention in the song.

Black Night : Deep Purple
Purple Haze : Jimmys Hen Tricks
Jump : Van Halen:)

Oeneus

Heh...I got slagged off for liking "Jump" so I stopped liking it. Oh jeez...I can't resist that great keyboard loop, though! Hehe :P

Giblet

I think its the video that does it for me, the whole eddie playing keyboards with one hand and pointing to the camera with the most greasy looking smile ever is the funniest sh*t ever*
