Best Rock Songs of All Time

R. I. P. Freddie

Best performer of all time

This song is in a class by itself. There will never ever be a better song.

Best song ever by the best band ever with the best singer ever!

this should be number 1, led zeppelin is one of the best all around bands of all time.

Its epic I always loved led zeppilen andx I think other people would love it too
its epic also and it will be cool to hear it on the radio too

I know this song is overplayed and the most requested. But this is the absolute best rock song ever. Zeppelin does not get enough credit for being one of the world's best rock bands ever.

HE IS THE KING OF MUSIC !

Great song. Very dark. Michael always seemed to write his best work when stressed or paranoid. Oh, the vicious cycle of artistry.

I LOVE Michael Jackson and all of his songs. This just made it better! r.i.p.

This is absolutely one of my most favorite songs! It inspires me to do my best and to not give up on anything! It's an awesome love song, and I love any song about night life, as with the mention of "street lights"!

really the best soft rock song

Best group of all time "classic"

Epic!

I saw my father crying for the first time after listening to this song. It is the best song. Axl's vocals, the lyrics and Slash's Solo, all are great.

best song eva great guitar solos!

Much better than the original and with Marie's wonderful voice, this song is the best rock song ever!

Changed a whole generation and the way we see music...R.I. P Kurt

I listened to this song more than 50 times (literally) and I cannot get bored of it. It has changed the world of grunge and the way we look at music. Sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Kurt Cobain has done his best. I think it is the best song ever written and no other song will match Smells like teen spirit and I guess I have over 30 million people's opinions to back me up.

Kurt changed the way we saw grunge

Linkin Park is an amazing band, and this song will never get old. Such a meaningful song. And Chester's vocals are amazing

One of the best songs

This song has made me like rock and metal genres, so this song has saved my life. Thank you chester, thank you Linkin Park. You will never be forgotten.

It definitely needs to be at the top. Salute Syd Barrett.

"Possibly one of the best songs ever" ONLY POSSIBLY?! You mean it IS THE BEST SONG EVER.

so true this song speaks to me, I love it, no matter what this will ALWAYS be my fav song

My favorite song ever - #1 for me

This song is a nuclear weapon and its make every cell in your body moving its a rock machine thing
the 3 elements of any superior song has never been gathered in any other song before it but that song is match it all in one single heat(performance-lyrics-solos)all gathered to produce that uncommon song

lol step brothers this song is still amazing

Recently voted the greatest dance song of all time. Way to go Michael!

First heard this around 3am in a bar in bangkok - it really hit the mark with all of us locked inside due to curfue

This song blows me away, the thought of the world being in peace is a dream.

great song and artist!

its a great song

This song is in my top3 def Leppard songs behind Animal and Rocket.

BEST SONG! I don't know why, but it seems like a theme song for all the strippers out there.

Meat Loaf in general is epic, but this song truly is amazing in every aspect.

Yes this is perhaps the greatest song I have ever heard only behind Bohemian Rhapsody and even better than Jesus of Suburbia which is is also 1 of the best songs iv'e heard

This is the best song ever!

Amazing. Geddy, Alex, and Niel ROCK!

Seeing as this is the only RUSH song people seem to know and like when they have a wide selection of amazing songs...

Influential song!

greatest song by u2 which is really saying something!

One of the best songs I've heard and got one of the most natural video I've seen.

Best... intro... ever... made

Worth voting bla bla bla bla damn I must talk that much to just post some ekh ekh I don't know.

I love this song, always been one of my top 10

this song has so much meaning in it. rock on ratm!

coheed rocks but they need to keep a steady roster

just simply a great song

Coheed is soo incredibly underrated. Welcome Home is just one of the many examples of their genius.

Go into any guitar shop on a Saturday morning and this is what everyone is trying to play - greatness indeed!

Awesome guitar intro; the lyrics are equally magnificent!

Greatest Air Guitar Song Ever

This song evokes youthfulness and a sense of unadulterated freedom. It's simply an amazing song!

this is an amazing amazing song. wonderful lyrics, soulful voice. if god could sing, it would not be very different from bruce.

This should be a lot higher on the list.
"The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only"
that is lyrical genius!

One of the best bands!

This is just a near perfect song, destined to become a future "Classic".

the killers are one of the best bands of this decade

Hush little baby don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet and in your head

Best of Metallica!

best song in the world

Neil Peart is the greatest drummer ever!

Great vocals.

I think beat it should be number 1 WHY? Because it has a heavy guitar riff and its beats and rhythms got on my nerves and makes me dance I think BLACK OR WHITE should be here it is a nice kickass song

I love the beat

If Dirty Diana And Billie Jean is in the top ten.. why isn't this in the top ten? this song was Jackson's actual first "rock" song... this song inspired all of his other rock songs.
All of you just Beat It!

such an influential song in the world of rock... and for good reason!

simply the best

the song that changed rock history the most ever.

Just plain cool

THIS SONG IS ONE OF LINKIN PARK'S BEST... I LOVE THE RYTHEM AND IT JUST FLOWS VERY GREAT... ALL THE LYRICS MAKE SENSE UNLIKE MOST SONGS WHERE THEY JUST MAKE A BUNCH OF NOISE

Absolutely amazing song. It is powerful and kick ass.

One of the best songs ever!

This song is just insane, there's nothing better than this!

the most powerful song you ever hear

AMAZING SONG

This song is a classic!

A rock mainstay whose feeling has yet to be fully realized

You can always hear the passion in each and every one of AIC's songs. Would? is no different.

Unknown by many, but by far the best and missed. I feel so connected with ALL of their songs. The best group of all time.

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OUT THERE. ROCK ON

It rocks me like a hurricane, plain and simple.

Get the Air-Guitar out! Some amazing solos there...!

Love the guitar rift!

Sure it's one of the best ones in rock history.

should be much higher one of the best songs

Captures the ugliness in a beautiful song-way underated thanks to all the mainstreamers who idolize"smells like teen spirit". Number one in my books!

was the only rs song that I liked. their best

easily one of the best songs ever! thus the reason everyone uses it in their movies!

VANHALEN BEST BAND EVER

# 66 for Van Halen? should be #6... must be a typo...

This song just feeds you with energy... and you can't help but air guitar to this one... not to mention... IT'S EDDIE VAN HALEN! There is no one better... NO ONE!

One of the most moving songs ever!

Maynard voice makes me melt.

One of the greatest guitar songs ever. Should be way higher than this. Boston should be considered on of the best American bands ever with so many good songs.

Only the greatest rock song ever! Listen to it on a great pumping stereo and you will be transported to another world!

Seriously, the only good thing to ever come out of Boston. This song should be number one.

Genius! The kind of song that makes you feel like you're on top of the world when you listen to it. Meatloaf writes a beautiful about love that isn't soft or sappy. It's an epic that guy's guys can admit to liking without embarrassment. Astonishing epic of a song! A magnum opus.

jadedmastermind

the best song ever!

That is the best rock song it has such a good beat and I like playing it really loud

Eddie Vedder's voice cannot be matched. The combination of Mike, Stone, and Jeff cannot be beaten either.

Great band, great song what more could you ask for

great song, one of the best police songs that are out there

This song is not only hauntingly beautiful, it is complexly simple. And I love that everyone thinks it's a love song when really it's all about obsession and possession.

best song of the 8o's and beyond

This song is amazing... Carry on wayward Kansas you rock!

The best guitar riffs ever!

This song should be way up the list for me its in the top 5 all time rock songs of all time a true blue print of all rock songs to come.

definitely the best, chuck berry master of the guitar, this is, the anthem of rock

An insane solo at the start, the song that started it all, simply amazing

This is the happiest song ever. It just makes people happy. Catchy guitar, too.

sounds fresh everytime you hear it!

This song belongs at the top of the list. The classic heavy metal song that all others imitate

needs to be no 1 heavy song of the century as it received airplay and released as a seven single

IT'S WAY BETTER THAN ANY SONG BUY LED ZEPPLIN.

Its shocking to not find song 2 on here, simply the world's best song ever to have written

spontaneous yet controlled

spontaneous yet controlled

spontaneous yet controlled

this song is awesome, if you're a rocker listen to this song.

great song one, of my favorite AC/DC songs

As AC/DC songs go, Back In Black is #1... but Hells Bells is a close #2.

When you want to rock, and I mean bad-@$$, head-bangin' ROCK, you throw on some AC/DC.

Love this song makes me want to jam and party every time I hear it

this song defines rock

what? this is a masterpiece! the best guitarist ever! wth? this song should be top 10

C Mon You Can´t Tell Me That November Rain or whatever is better than voodoo child from the best guitaist ever.

Never gets old.

Really great song.

Everybody in some point of the time feels identified with this song... we all had born to run... and I love the Boss!

The best rock song of all time! New Jersey nearly made it the state song!

Lyrical prowess, Bruce at his best.

My funeral song-ironically

best song of the 90’s!

And what about John Bonham on drums? He's the world's best drummer!

the first heavy metal song that I heard after whole lotta love. black dog was even heavier than lead

a great song with excellent guitar riffs

Tells an amazing story.

Just one word... Immense

Sure, it's long. Like a Rock Opera. But just awesome.

One of Led Zeppelins best (better then stairway, stairways on that great, people just like it because its the most popular song)

ledzeppelin

Simply the best Elvis song; true expression of how trust can warp in a relationship.

an instant classic

best song for getting in the zone

amazing song. gets me pumped for my workout

what a voice

its the best song. I love it.

best song ever written better than imagine, stairway to heaven, highway to hell, and definitely better than bohemian rapsody

you can't not like this song... go ahead, I dare you

this song kicks ass

"Despite all my rage" that's exactly what this song is, RAGE!

One of the best songs and also one of the best music videos ever!

Total Badassism! Motorhead is the essence of Rockicity!

One of the most rebel against society songs of the Millenium.

ho0o0o0o0o0 dust in the winds rocks...

Dave Grohl on Drums and Josh Hommes on Guitar, you can’t go wrong

We make the karaoke guy play it every Wednesday at closing time.

nitrobatio

One of the best songs ever! First Styx song I ever listened to.

Fun and clever song, played with transvestitism way before Aerosmith did "Dude Looks Like a Lady. "
