how are we all missing Black Dog by Zepplin?! one of the best rock songs of all time!!
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Pink Floyd: Echoes
Led Zep: Achilles Last Stand, 10 Years Gone
Bruuuuuce: PissBottle is dead on - Born to Run
Kiss: Detroit Rock City, Black Diamond (and not because PJ did it at the Vic although that is why I love PJ).
Aerosmith: I agree with keeponrockin - Mama Kin (played that in my 8th grade speech class while everyone else was playin their Beach Boys and Beatles :gag:)
Oh yeah - Machine Gun - bought Band of Gypsys when I was 13/14 and played it till the needle was no longer a needle. PJ should do this song
If you have a chance to make life better for others, and fail to do so, you are wasting your time on this earth.
here are some good ones........going by the formula of......rockin tunes i suppose
neil young - rockin in the free world
my morning jacket - one big holiday
rolling stones - paint it black
the who - baba o'reily
nirvana - smells like teen spirit
bob dylan - maggies farm
pearl jam - do the evolution
Queen-bohemian rhapsody
Aerosmith-dream on or walk this way
AC/DC-back in black or for those about to rock
Eagles-Life in the fast lane
Zep-communication breakdown
Kansas-carry on our wayward sun
Yes-roundabout or starship tooper
Doors-la woman
Who-cant explain
Stones-satisfaction
Hendrix-foxey lady or purple haze
Skynryd-that smell
now way to pick just one
I kinda like that mix actually

Smashing Pumpkins -1979
Bullet With Butterfly Wings
Today
Tonight,Tonight
Muzzle
Nirvana -Smells like Teen Spirit,Lithium
Pearl Jam - Porch
The Strokes - Last Nite
Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
I apologize if this has already been a thread but i cant find it if it is - im interested to hear what people would say they think is the single greatest rock song of all time. One that epitomizes rock music at its finest.
I have two in mind so ill put both - Roadhouse Blues by the Doors and Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. Doesnt get much better then that IMO.
I was about to start a similar thread and figured there was one already...sure enough I found yours. I like one of the two you mentioned for this as you hit Pink Floyd's best song ever. But the Doors have better songs than Roadhouse Blues.
I always think its funny with this discussion because it is widely known and accepted that Stairway to Heaven is the greatest rock song ever, no doubt. I do like the argument though and happy to throw out others such at Hotel California, Come Together or a handful of other considerations by the Beatles, and you can make an argument for Corduroy now that its over 20 years old.

It’s criminal Gimme Shelter has not been mentioned.
Easily my favorite song ever. Never gets old
That is a great song but not even the Stones greatest song IMHO. Give me Beast of Burden, Brown Sugar, SFTD, or probably a handful more over Gimme Shelter.

Since metals come from rocks, from there we might consider the greatest rock song to be Fripp and Eno's "An Index of Metals" from the album Evening Star.
