You want to hear a scream? Wilson Pickett covering "Hey Jude" BTW Duane Allman is on guitar.
Best rock song of all times
Only one answer please.
Not the best written or the best musical complexity but the one that represents the rock.
My choice: Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
Reasons:
- first notes are like the 5th of Beethoven (when you hear those notes, everybody pumps up the volume)
- still very up to date
- a mix of rock and blues rock and Motown sound
- lyrics talks about disatisfaction of young people vs life, politics, money and women (even B Dylan like that song)
- music is very basic as a good rock song should be

Sweet Child O'Mine has a great riff... All above suggestions are excellent candidates too - check this out url for a "researched" list.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_in_English_labeled_the_best_ever |
I will add another vote for: Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen WOW...It may be one you don't immediately think about but when you hear it...WOW. From one emotional extreme to another. Now I don't know the history behind the song but basically three classics in one. My unbiased opinion: Nothing...I repeat nothing beats it, there may be songs I like better for my tastes, memories etc... but Bohemian Rhapsody is had to argue against. |
