    Top 10 What do you think the best rock songs are?

    What do you think the top ten rock or rock/ rock and roll songs are? I am just wondering about the 70s and 80s mostly.

    rock and roll, hmmm, don't know if all of these will count in the genre, but i'll throw them in anyways
    #10 Ballroom Blitz
    #9 Hells Bells - ACDC
    #8 Tom Sawyer - Rush
    #7 Phantom of the Opera - Iron Maiden
    #6 Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
    #5 YYZ - Rush
    #4 Love Gun - KISS
    #3 Paint it Black - Rolling Stones
    #2 Rock and Roll High School - The Ramones
    #1 Wont get fooled again - The Who

    This isn't an incredibly accurate top ten, to be honest I just pulled some rock songs from the 70's and 80's that I liked and put them in my favourite order, I tried not to add much punk or metal, but if I could it could be alot more accurate

    Top 10 What do you think the best rock songs are?

    Death On Two Legs - Queen
    Money For Nothing - Dire Straits
    Hotel California - The Eagles
    Over The Hills And Far Away - Led Zeppelin
    Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin
    Whole Lotta Love - Led Zeppelin
    Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
    Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
    Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden (Yes, I know it's metal)
    Torture Me - Red Hot Chilli Peppers (I love the bass riffs)

    No particular order, however I find that's quite a nice mix of newer and older stuff, and the variety is what makes me like my music collection. I like the Chilli Peppers, Though my mates beg to differ :'(

    I think you and Reappeh have my taste in music, but no metal man. Rock is the only genre that relates to me.

    Top 10 What do you think the best rock songs are?

    Iron Maiden is the older stuff, it doesn't involve screaming if that's what puts you off. Iron Maiden's old stuff is a lot like modern/90s rock actually.

    Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
    Sunshine of Your Love - Eric Clapton
    Crossroads - Eric Clapton
    White Summer \ Black Mountain Side - Led Zeppelin (this one has some great guitar work)
    Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
    Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin
    Sweet Lady - Queen
    Turn it Again - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
    Death of a Martian - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
    Snow (Hey oh) - Red Hot Chilli Peppers
    Children of the Damned - Iron Maiden
    Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits

    Generally, most of the music from these artists is quite good.

    Edit:

    I forgot Immigrant Song by Led Zep ;)

    Top 10 What do you think the best rock songs are?

    Although not really one to remember when songs came out but I'll post my favorites of all times not just 70\80s and I'm sure a lot of these wont be what you consider rock and roll but I don't like using sub genres that much and another thing these arn't my all time favorites as I cannot really put songs into a order of my favorites because every song I have is or was my favorite at one point or another.

    shinedown - begin again
    dokken - in my dreams
    hurt - 10 ton brick
    acid bath - venus blue
    the wallflowers - sleepwalker
    candle box - cover me
    revelation theory - slowburn
    nickelback - savin me
    eric clapton - tears in heaven
    the exies - creeper kamikazi
    theory of a deadman - santa monica

    I know people prolly hate my set of "best" but I see it as good songs are all the best not just the more well known or famous or oldest songs so I tried to pull out from the crowd and give a wide variety
