Great Rock

[Colapop]

Alrighty then, the greatest rock song/s of all time. I have a feeling that bikers are more likely to be rebellious and enjoy Rock moreso than say, engineers (*shudder*). If you don't then that's cool, this threads not for you.
What's your favourite? What is the greatest of all time? Let's not get into too much Shit slinging on other people's tastes, what you like is cool.

[Colapop]

Is metal not rock? Of course there are extremes but ... ?

[Coyote]

Is metal not rock? Of course there are extremes but ... ?
Didn't really think so, Metal is meant to be a bit harder/faster and Rock is just a bit softer

There's way too many genres all just a tiny bit different nowadays like punk, emo, metal, death metal, black metal, rock, hard rock, polka, just to name a few

lyrics -
You make me come
You make me complete
You make me completely miserable
Stuck to a chair watchin’ thiiiiis
Story about me
Everything goes by so faaaaast
Making my head spin
Used up all of my friends
But who needs them
When you mean everything
I love things that we should fear
I’m not afraid of being here
So much the same
It makes me helpless alone
Nothing to share
Why should IIIIIIII
Care if you’re near me
Give up all my plans
But who needs them
When you mean everything
I love the things that we should fear
I’m not afraid of being here
So much the same
It makes me helpless alone
You make me come
You make me complete
You make me completely miserable
I love the things that we should fear

[Teflon]

Metallica - ONE

[kro]

Live - Rattlesnake
REM - Drive

have thousands of others, but these have made a lasting impression on me.

[hXc]

A song close to my heart

Girls, Girls, Girls - Motley Crue

Very close to my heart too. I wanted to play it at my mates funeral (it was his favourite song) but couldn't learn it in 2 hours considering the circumstances.

But seriously, there are sooooo many to list that it's impossible. I love music and that's it for me. I don't care which is THE best or whatever. It's personal choice anyway. Metallica, Led Zepp, KISS, REM, U2, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix etc etc - They're all fucking legendary bands and they live up to the name.

Just worship them for that fact, don't pick the best of the best.

If you want some good covers of legendary bands, get the Tribute To The Gods series of albums. I have the Iced Earth album. Blooddy brilliant stuff!

[GN1NiteStnd]

Right, just wanna stand up for the engineers. us steel working dudes tend to love the rock!

Also..... the soundgarden - rusty cage is great to listen too while riding

[The_Dover]

I just love the crisp as fuck drums on Outshined and the way it flicks from heavy to melodic, and the middle eight is great!

[boomer]

[Motu]

Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath.

In the shuffling madess
of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time loser,
headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
steam breaking on his brow --
The throttle's stuck wide open
the bike won't stop going --
no way to slow down.

[The_Dover]

I'm an engineer by trade and a manager of 12 of the buggers, i ride a pit bike.. slow.. Whats that make me..?? :spudbn:

Ha! Old school alternative is so right up my alley, Frank Zappa, Voilent Femmes, The Beat, Pouges. Even went through a Merciful Fate, Danzig phase.:headbang:

[Magua]

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun,
Rage Against The Machine - Know Your Enemy,
or Queens Of The Stoneage - The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret.

Soundgarden and Rage are probably my favourite bands but The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret, ah just great.

[T.W.R]

The one that started it all

**

ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK.

True, "Rock Around the Clock" wasn't the first Rock and Roll record. It wasn't even the first Rock and Roll record to become a national hit -- Bill Haley's own "Crazy Man Crazy" had hit the charts in 1953, and he scored a major worldwide hit with "Shake Rattle and Roll" in 1954, months after recording "Rock Around the Clock" which was at first considered a commercial disappointment. Meanwhile, an obscure truck driver in Memphis named Elvis Presley started to generate some buzz in the summer of 1954 with his own brand of rockabilly recordings out of Sun Records in Memphis. But it was "Rock Around the Clock" that finally opened the floodgates.

[TraD_MaN]

anyhting metallica from the black album downwards...

Thundersturck - ACDC :rockon:


ooo its hard im more metal than rock :doh:

[Beemer]

I'd agree with Nights in White Satin...

Bat out of Hell, and Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf

Lola - The Kinks

What about U2, or are they considered too light?

And you can't forget Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive was my favourite album when I was a teenager - showing my age here! I even named my budgie Sneaky Pete after a guitarist on the album!

[Colapop]

The differences between rock and metal and .... can be argued as much as what is the best of all time. The most interesting thing I see with this thread is the number of different contributors. And the range of taste really isn't that different. There are a few tracks posted that I hadn't heard before but have since found on the net and I'm getting a whole new appreciation for 'new' music now (new to me).
The other thing is that classics will always be great.
