Clasic rockers only!

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.

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!

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.

[Lordmarkus]

Baba O' Riley by The Who and Rock & Roll by Led Zeppelin. The sheer power is unbeatable.

Honorable mentions: Brighton Rock by Queen, Aqualung by Jethro Tull and Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix.

 

[Crofty]

Hell, anything by them is gold.

I was refering to the song, not the band.

Now that you mention it, it isn't the best, but i've got it stuck in my head... so yeah...

 

[Epifols]

Something by Pink Floyd, much too hard to choose just one though.

Although picking all-time best's is such a folly, it's an end to itself. And if you think about it too hard your brain starts to hurt :/

 

[Deathsong17]

Alice Cooper-Poison

Word.

Ah sorry about the misunderstanding. And yeah the song is pretty good.

 

[Abedeus]

Can I say Eruption - Van Halen and Iron Man - Black Sabbath?

 

[Fat Hippo]

Well, it isn't my favorite personally, but Smoke on the Water is a very strong contestant. Seriously, who hasn't heard of this song?

 

[FoxtrotTango]

I know a couple of songs that are good for this.

You Got Another Thing Comin' - Judas Priest
Cum On, Feel The Noise - Quiet Riot

I'll refrain from posting more debatably glam rock titles until I know which bands pass as classic rock.

 

[mocruz1200]

You Got Another Thing Comin' - Judas Priest
Cum On, Feel The Noise - Quiet Riot

oh yes!
and Hallowed be thy name-Iron Maiden. incredibly powerfull
