Greatest rock song of all time

TheLizardKing

maybe i was too harsh with the "stale"but when i saw the question i knew what people would say,i love all those songs lemming(most of them)but maybe it would be nice to see some other less "pop/known" classics rise up with the like of "stairway..."thats all:)im just Grateful for the music and i think were all on the same line of music,theres no point in fussing over what song is better,we all have different tones,melodies,lyrics,that strike us deep inside ..well what can i say about zep but they're just the greatest Rock'n'Roll band in the world:)oh,yeah im gonna try add one to my list!!
Because-The Beatles..Peace,hope i helped...

I actually think him using the term "stale" is quite a fair statement. I mean, I would always regard "Boh Rhap" as a classic, it was the song that got me into headbanging for godsake!

But at this stage really, I'm kinda bored with it. No...wait. I'm really really bored with it.

Rufus T Firefly

Death of An Electric Citizen - Edgar Broughton Band

Bullfrog Blues - Rory Gallagher

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath- er...can't remember the band

Motorhead - Motorhead (still have the original 12" single)

Star Spangled Banner - Jimi Hendrix

Come Together - MC5

Kick Out The Jams - MC5

Let There Be Rock (live version) - AC/DC

Everybody Hurts - REM

God Save The Queen - The Sex Pistols

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Ain'tTalking about Love - Van Halen

Wonderwall - Oasis

In My Time Of Dying - Led Zep

I don't know if it'll become a classic but 'Spread Your Love' by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is worth a listen if you can get hold of it on Morpheus/Aimster.

PS First band I ever saw was Black Sabbath (with Ozzy) at the Hammersmith Odeon in '78 during their 10th anniversary tour. Support act for the tour? A little known band called Van Halen.

Good choice Giblet. Quality song and the video is pretty good too. Do you know if they have any other stuff or is it just a one-off?

The reason I love the video so much is because it's set at a wedding, and I'm fairly big on stuff to do with weddings at the minute!!!:D
