Best Ever Rock Songs!

[Perikles]

What do you think are the best ever rock/hard rock/metal songs ever?

As a hip-hop to rock convert about 6 months ago I probably don't know as much as a lot of you out there, but I will give it a shot.

These are my top 10(well I tried to do 10 but I couldn't leave some out!)rock bands/songs (in no particular order)

AC/DC- Hells Bells/Back in Black/Thunderstruck
Aerosmith- Walk this Way/Dream on
Black Sabbath- Parnoid/Iron Man
Bon Jovi- Livin' On A Prayer
The Clash- Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now/London Calling
Eric Clapton- Layla(D&TD)/I feel Free/Sunshine Of Your Love(Cream)
Guns N' Roses- Welcome to the Jungle/Sweet Child O' Mine/Paradise City
Jimi Hendrix- All along the Watchtower/Foxey Lady/Purple Haze
Led Zep- Whole Lotta Love/Stairway/Kashmir/Immigrant Song-maybe just every song?
Metallica- Enter Sandman/For Whom the Bell Tolls/Master Of Puppets/Seek and Destroy
Pink Floyd- Comfortably Numb/Wish You Were Here
Queen- We will Rock You/Bohemian Rhapsody/Another One Bites the Dust

Blur- Song2
Oasis- Live Forever/Don't Look Back In Anger/Some Might Say
Queens Of The Stone Age

[Spiff]

I'd add Rammstein for the comedy of their live performances (burning pieces of scaffolding falling into the crowd.. hmm)

if interested, watch/listen to 'em here:

Amerika
Some live performances

Also being in a language no one actualy understands makes them more hardcore to listen to.


But anyway yea, i like your choices

[Freddie]

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

[Flogger]

Queen suck! (Sorry, just had to say that)

The Clash rule! (London Calling)

So do The Beatles! (A Day In The Life)

[Emperor Dimitricus]

iron maiden - run to the hills/hallowed be they name
metallica - one/nothing else matters
judas priest - breaking the law
alice cooper - poison/im eighteen

or for more modern stuff:
static-x - cold/the only
spineshank - beginning of the end/systhetic
the darkness - growing on me/bald
disturbed - down with the sickness
korn - blind/here to stay
system of a down - sugar/toxicity/BYOB

[Perikles]

@Spiff- Never really been in to them german rock bands myself - heard about the concerts though...

@Flogger- Queen=are you mad? Clash=I agree Beatles=can't believe I forgot the beatles, especially with the massive thread below this one

[Justinian]

*cough* Beatles *cough*

Most of their songs would belong on any rock hall of fame...

[Flogger]

I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles, but I do apreciate their music. The Clash's live music is much better than recorded. And I stand by what I said about Queen, but I won't say why because then this will become a flame war.

Oh yeah... Franz Ferdinand, Arctic Monkeys...

Also: Metallica - Seek And Destroy.

[Perikles]

Franz Ferdinand are good but I have only heard one arctic monkeys song - the one in the charts that I can't be bothered to type! I was going to buy their album but someone told me it wasn't that good anyway.

[Flogger]

You should, it is excellent.

[Perikles]

I might buy it after I have bought Led Zep IV which I have heard is a lot better...

[RZZZA]

Billy Idol-White Wedding?

Its not the best ever, I just really like it.

(I dig the whole anti-church theme)

[Nationalist_Cause]

Tool - Stinkfist, Third Eye, Lateralus, Prison Sex, Pushit, Reflection, Hooker With a Penis

Edit: Oh yeah, it might not belong here but...

Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire

[Perikles]

Never really listened to Tool, but I agree with Johnny Cash and Billy Idol

[Hookah Smoking Caterpiller]

Franz ferdinand- Michael, Auf Achse, what you meant
blur- for tomorrow, bang, essex dogs, good song

[Flogger]

Oh yes blur I forgot- Song 2. Obviously. Or Tender.

[Perikles]

Yes, Blur are good but you can't have Blur without Oasis- Live Forever? Some Might Say? Don't Look Back In Anger?

[Flogger]

Obviously.

[Stalins Ghost]

Hmmm... These arn't neccessarly my favorites by each artist...but the ones people are likely to know

Tenacious D - Tribute
Guns and Roses- Welcome to the Jungle
Velvet Revolver - Slither
The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Queens of the Stone Age - No-one Knows
David Bowie - I don't know which song though...he's the man.

I'm bored now...that'll do- and other people have got alot of the other ones I'd mention

OOooo BTW- Buy the Arctic Monkey's album...see past the hype (yes they are overrated) but it IS a very nice album...especially when you've had some of the pub experiences I've had

[Perikles]

Oh I forgot Velvet Revolver, Nirvana etc. Better sort that out.... :wink:
