The best Rock Song Ever!

[Matt Dillon]

I was never a fan of Survivor either, although "Burning Heart" and "I Can't Hold Back" are listenable. Without a doubt, Journey, Kansas and Styy (to name a few) were far better.

Da fuq is Styy?

I BELIEVE he meant Styx.

Oh, ok.

Oh, ok.

THIS is one of a few songs I still like by Styx. Thanks for the post. And sorry for insinuating that you were ball-less. Barry Obama was and still IS ball-less, however.

Huh. I'm a millennial guitarist who's met EVH several times and even talk to his son on social media sometimes. But I guess I'm not allowed to post a "cool rock song" because of my age or whatever.

What if Albert King and Jimi Hendrix once upon a time influenced a guitar player? SRV

Yep!

Oops, I misread this post the first time I read it. But I bet Barry DOES sit TO piss. And you're correct, by the way he sits, he CAN'T have too much nad action going on there.

There are some songs by Queen that are among my favorite rock songs. "Keep Yourself Alive", "Stone Cold Crazy", "Killer Queen", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "You're My Best Friend", "Death On Two Legs", "I'm In Love With My Car", "The Prophet Song", "Somebody To Love", "Tie Your Mother Down", "We Will Rock You", "We Are The Champions", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Another One Bites The Dust", "Dragon Attack", "Body Language", "I Want To Break Free", "Hammer To Fall", and "The Show Must Go On" all caught my ear over the years.

I REALLY liked Styx back in the day. Now I can only tolerate listening to a few of their songs. Remember "Mr. Roboto"? Pure rubbish.

Yeah, they off the rails with that song. I always liked this one

Well, going by rock and not metal I have a couple. This is one.

This song is responsible for blowing out four woofers at the same time, or maybe it was off "On your feet or on your knees" live LP
Buck Dharma is a most underappreciated guitarist. Astronomy live is all proof you need.

Interstate Love Song STP gets one of my votes.

Best lyrics!

Best lyrics!

Jimmy Webb had to have been high when he wrote it.

1) LED ZEPPELIN - STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

It had to be this, right? Being "banned in guitar shops" doesn't alter the fact that this epic from Zep's fourth album is undeniably better than ANY other song because it somehow manages to cram pretty much every single rock genre into one sprawling eight minute slice of brilliance. Oh, and don't forget THAT guitar solo...

It's worth noting that 'Stairway' picked up 15% of all the votes cast - more than twice that of its nearest rival.

Although not necessarily my favorite as it's been overplayed but still ...

I'm more of a prog rock fan.
The most beautiful song by a group (for my tastes) is...


This live version is better than the studio one.

We have a winner! Was looking through this thread hoping SOMEONE would mention it. I don't think anyone has given love to
