Best Rock-n-Roll songs of all time....

[WCGreen]

In no special order...

Roselita by Springsteen
We Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who
Going Down by Jeff Beck
House of the Rising Sun by the Animals
Sympathy for the Devil by the Stones
One of these Days by Pink Floyd
Born to Be Wild Steppenwolf
Stone Cold Crazy by Queen
Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple
The One Thing by Inxs
London Calling by the Clash
Crazy Train Ozzy
Long Tall Sally by Little Richard
Helter Skelter by The Beatles
Whole Lotta Love by Zepplin
Lust for Life by Iggy Pop

These are the songs that got me going. Sure, a lot of people would say Stairway to Heaven but that ain't Rock-n-Roll.

Have at it...

1. Tunnel of Love - Dire Straits.

[HopeHoops]

2. Barracuda - Heart

Money for Nothing - Dire Straits


Hell, throw in Magic Man too.

[WCGreen]

3. I forgot about Barracuda and Money for Nothing...

[HopeHoops]

4. Oh, and The Return of the Giant Hogweed - Genesis

This is vintage (1972) Berlin footage:

5. My favorite from back then is Watcher of the Sky...

Forgot about Jethro Tull doing Locomotive Breath

[HopeHoops]

6. I've seen The Musical Box perform Watcher of the Sky twice.

Well, I've only seen them twice - the Lamb tour and the Selling England tour. They're doing Trick of the Tail now and won't be in the US until at least January (probably later).

The Musical Box is the only tribute band with full rights and blessing from all current and former members of Genesis. They do full costume and use vintage equipment. It is like watching the original performance in a time warp.

[RT Atlanta]

7. Voodoo Child (slight return)

Jimi stands alone!

[taterguy]

8. Just about anything by Chuck Berry

And most of what Sun Records put out

[Louisiana1976]

9. "We Won't Be Fooled Again"--The Who

And my favorite lyric from that song is:

"Meet the new boss....
Same as the old boss...."

[charlie and algernon]

10. "Baba O'Riley" by The Who
