Can't go wrong, there. Top 10 for sure!

I think I'd have to pick Hey, Hey, What Can I do - Zeppelin

Hey now. You're from western PA. You're supposed to vote for Donnie Iris' Ah Leah! or Tough World.

Today's #1 Lou Reed-Rock and Roll - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArRex...eature=related

Gotta be "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry. Whenever I think of "traditional" rock & roll, this song is always the first that pops into my head.

DonniePaul · 08-25-2009, 01:16 PM

maybe not be the "best ever" but it is awesome for sure.

Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group

All the players on that tune are tearing it up. And it is great from a composition stand point too. You can knock off some points for no vocals but still I think it deserves a mention.

Well, I just got through listening to Electric Ladyland for the umpteenth-hundred time, and I have to stand by what I said - it is Voodoo Child, Voodoo Child, Lord knows that it's Voodoo Child. It taps into all the roots of American music, then blows them all away. Between that song and Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue", one can learn everything essential in our musical culture.

A couple come to mind.

Call me the breeze - Skynyrd's version
Billy Powell on piano ... yessir.

Layla ... love Clapton and Allman playing together.

Queen - the show must go on. Great Lyrics, singing by Freddy and may's guitar.

Welcome to the Jungle
Hotel California (if that's a rock & roll song) Guitar Hero anyone

Whoa, digging up an old thread Ron.

Like most here have stated, depends on the day. For me, it’s You Really Got Me - VH. Iconic riff, you know what song it is instantly.
