You're welcome. Most of the stuff I like is in japanese so I can't really write the tittles.

Holiday by Greenday
Ocean Avenue~Yellowcard
Roofstops~Lost Prophets
Helena~My Chemical Romance

[motherhubbard]

In my area there are no rock radio stations. We have two stations in the town near where I live and they are both country music stations. Can you believe that? My dad worked in radio in Memphis when I was a kid so most of the music I know or like is rock from the 70's. I'm not as old as I sound, but I can't hear the words in the stuff my younger brother listens to. It's just sounds like angry screaming to me.

[Bakiryu]

Oh hell! I like country well enought but I also love my japanese rock! At least you have internet access!

Ya know, when I hear "skating away" by Tull I just can't relate to all the screaming.

Wow, good thought for a thread. I can pick lots of stuff, but first and foremost anything by the Rolling Stones. Here are perhaps my top ten Stones songs:
Jumpin' Jack Flash
Satisfaction
Gimme Shelter
Miss You
Sympathy For The Devil
Brown Sugar
Start Me Up
Tumbling Dice
Rough Justice
Wild Horses
Honky Tonk Women

Ok, there are eleven, I couldn't narrow it to ten. :D

[Nossa]

Am I considered an ignorant if I only know ONE Rolling Stones song? :lol:

[metal134]

I've never been one for rock songs. I have always been of the belief that the ALBUM is an art form and that songs are only a piece of a more cohesive work. So, my favorite albums? Oh Lord, don't make me decide! Here are some:

Animals- Pink Floyd
Brave New World- Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath- Black Sabbath
Zoso- Led Zeppelin
Rust in Peace- Megadeth
Dirt- Alice in Chains

[Virgil]

Am I considered an ignorant if I only know ONE Rolling Stones song? :lol:

:lol: No of course not. Which one do you know?

[Nossa]

:lol: No of course not. Which one do you know?

Actually...I only knew the song after hearing it sung by Britney Spears :blush: Sorry!!
It's the one called Satisfaction...but, you know, I'm from the..what should I call it..the "Linkin Park" generation..we kinda missed the good stuff..lol

To be honest, I hardly know any of the younger people's music. I guess it's generational. :)

[kilted exile]

Ok, there are eleven, I couldn't narrow it to ten. :D

but still no mention of either Street Fighting Man or Paint It Black.


Here is a starting list of mine (in no order, other than the way the pop into my head)

The Legend of Pat Brown - The Vandals
For Miss Caulker - The Animals
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
Losing my religion - REM
No night out at the jail - Nick Cave & the Badseeds
Ishmael & Maggie - The Trews
Anything, Anytime, Anywhere - Bruce Cockburn
If I had a rocket launcher - Bruce Cockburn
Laid - James
God only knows -James
Government Walls - James
I am the news - Ocean Colour Scene
Emily Chambers - Ocean Colour Scene
Wont Get Grazed - Ocean Colour Scene
4st. 7lb - Manics
Black Dog - Manics
Sun from my heart - Manics
Teenage Frankenstein - Alice Cooper
Walk On the Wild Side - Lou Reed

Stopping here for now because I could go on forever......

[Nossa]

To be honest, I hardly know any of the younger people's music. I guess it's generational. :)

Maybe it is so..but trust me, you're not missing on much :lol: . What we listen to now is mostly anything but music if you ask me. I'm a person who cares more about the lyrics of a song, having said that, I can frankly tell you that I'm having a hard time listening to 'good' lyrics. There are very few bands and singers who can actually sing and have good songs these days.

[UltimaHybrid]

am i the only one here on the site who is a metal listener??? i feel so secluded
someone hold me...aww screw it...

[AimusSage]

Slipknot, metal? hu! You confuse me ;)

j/k. It's nu-metal or rapcore, so technically you can call it metal, but like stone sour, it's just not my thing.

As for some of my more preferred song, I took a look into my winamp and checked the play count, turns out all 10 are of the same album and played only once, so obviously, there is something wrong with that feature. The album was Painkiller by Judas Priest if anyone was wondering.

So I'll just list a few I can think of right now:

Painkiller - Judas Priest
The Longest Day - Iron Maiden
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath
Tears of the Dragon - Bruce Dickinson
A Forest - The Cure
Atlantis - Donovan

Throw in a gazzillion other bands and I am happy.

But I better not forget HANSON with MMM BOP! That has to be the best rock song of all time!

[spa girl]

I love anything by Springsteen, Tom Petty, Zepplin....Chris Izaak makes me weak in the knees....Stone Temple Pilots "Thank You" CD, Chili Peppers "Stadium Arcadium" - 30 songs & I love 'em all.....Jethro Tull, The Who, The Stones, Cream, Traffic, Blind Faith (all the Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood bands), Alice in Chains......

I'm sure there are a lot more.

[jon1jt]

Elvis Perkins (all), but definitely check out his Ash Wednesday song.

Smashing Pumpkins ~ Today. their guitar sound slashes the speakers like a million razors. how can you NOT like a band with a female guitarist who simply kicks a##?

[Redzeppelin]

You listen to Avril? And consider her a legit rocker? (Sadly shakes head)


Oh, I figured someone'd nick me for that... but I'll proudly claim her (men of honor shouldn't abandon women simply to save their reputation...:) ); look, I like really engergetic drums and guitar, and beneath the questionably shallow lyrics and bratty teen vocals are some serious rock players strutting their stuff. Her studio guitarists and drummers are top notch.

Besides, the post asked for our favorite rock songs - not our favorite "credible rock" artists. Consider her my guilty pleasure :D

[formality hater]

Its not over-Chris Daughtry

[NikolaiI]

Favorite rock song or songs?

Locomotive Breath, Jethro Tull
Back in Black, ACDC
Led Zepplin, anything from, Houses of the Holy

ah, good taste kiobe

mine are anything zeppelin, johnny winter, hendrix, and lots of others...that qualify as rock...

rock and blues are very similar...i like blues as well.
