The Rolling Stones: Sympathy For The Devil.

Nice when in dought break out the stones! haha

 

[Cuniculus]

Freebird.

Great song, awesome guitar.

 

[Hippobatman]

I'd like to be the one who mentions Black Sabbath first.

The sign of the Southern Cross is one of my favourite Sabbath songs.

 

[Another 2maro]

Led Zepplin-stairway to heaven: everybody on the planet knows it every rock compilation has it every pub jukebox has it everyone can sing it and it rocks.

Well saying it rocks dosn't quite cut it! Man a radio station that plays stairway to heaven and then free bird would be the BEST raideo station ever!

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

I'm not going to say this is my favourite song, because anyone who has just one favourite song is an idiot. However, this is widely regarded as being one of Jimi Hendrix's best songs.

[MrLS]

Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin. Case closed.

 

[Skeleon]

Steppenwolf, Born To Be Wild'll be my entry for this thread.


Or pretty much anything from BÖC or AC/DC.

 

[historybuff]

Led Zepplin, Ozzie, Pink Floyd, the Stones---those guys are all awesome but I have a special place in my soul for AC/DC.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

And obviously...

I didn't just say it rocks.

It's ok. Kinda overrated.

 

[implodingMan]

I wouldn't say it is the greatest classic rock song ever, but right now I'm loving Neil Young's Down by the River. The live versions are especially awesome.

Here is a nice acoustic live version.

And here is a more traditional rock version.

[Tonimata]

IT'S MORE THAN A FEEEEEEEEEELIIIIIIIIIING WHEN I HEAR THAT OLD ROCK THEY USED TO PLAAAAAAAAAY
I reaaaaaaaaaaally love Boston, they're what american 70's rock must sound like

 

[Deathsong17]

Led Zepplin-stairway to heaven: everybody on the planet knows it every rock compilation has it every pub jukebox has it everyone can sing it and it rocks.

What? Stairway to Heaven is the definition of overrated.

Anyways, Poison is the best!

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Behind Blue Eyes The Who.

 

[Mr_spamamam]

Seven seas of Rhye By Queen

Okay, I'm going to make a list here. I just take a couple of old bands I listen to and list their most rocking songs (with rock as in the genre).
And why a list you might ask when he asked for the best rock song? Because I'm an indecisive prick, that's why.

Highway to Hell- AC/DC; A lot of ACDC songs are applicable for this list, but I chose this one. It just has the best riff. Thunderstruck is a good second here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erJc4dzZ3IA
Black Night- Deep Purple; another great band, and even though they've made better songs (listen to their 'Made in Japan' album), it's the most rocking one, imho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHlODWd4GeM
Locomotive Breath- Jethro Tull; A very classic intro, but a timeless riff with good lyrics and an awesome solo. Minstrel in the Gallery was another contender for this slot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO8aa9PGxvU
Whitewater- Kyuss; Okay, some people might say that this is more metal than it is rock. However, I think that this is one hell of a rock song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcY3UF6_IaM
Rainbow Demon- Uriah Heep; this is one of those old singalongs. I mean, come on, who has heard this songs and didn't want to shout "Raaaaiiinboooooooow Deeeeheeemoooooon" at the top of his voice? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eku0Pg3c5_c&feature=related
Won't Get Fooled Again- the Who- I saw the Who mentioned in this thread with their song 'Behind Blue Eyes' but I think this one deserves the title rock song a lot more than that one does. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO8GhA8OdyQ&feature=related
[insert song]- ZZ Top; Really, I wanted to say 'Give Me All Your Loving', but I couldn't do that with a straight face. All of their songs apply for this list.


EDIT: Fuck, apparently I can't read. I thought he asked for the most rocking songs.

I agree that Stairway To Heaven is overrated but I disagree on Poison they aren't the best. I think that AC/DC holds a lot of power (My favourite is Shoot To Thrill but I think that Back In Black or Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution are the two more rocktastic). I also think that Iron Man by Black Sabbath is incredible.

 

[Nazulu]

The Rolling Stones: Sympathy For The Devil.

Best song ever right there, or at least in the top 5. Is it the first evil song ever made? Someone told me that at school.
