The 10 Greatest Rock Songs of All Time

Whenever I see someone's "greatest rock songs of all time" lists, this is your typical spray-chart-by-decade:

1960s ---
1970s -------
1980s
1990s
2000s
2010s
2020s

Really? All of the greatest rock songs of all time were all released before 1980? Only two decades of rock hold all of the greatest music ever and the last 40+ years have given us absolutely nothing that exceeds the origins? :rolleyes:

The 80's had some good stuff.
 
I feel like any top ten without You Can't Always Get What You Want is incomplete.

So much this.


This is why I'm completely floored by the Nickleback entry, and I'm pretty sure he was serious.


That shit blows my mind.

Sorry, I don't buy it or agree with it. Replace some of that old played-out boring shit with something off "Appetite For Destruction", "Nevermind", "Metallica", "Vulgar Display of Power", "Tragic Kingdom", "Undertow" or "Aenima", "Hybrid Theory", "Toxicity", etc., etc., etc.

Let's see your list. Greatest rock n roll song is a personal decision depending on mood time of day and what you had for dinner.

Meh, I had a song from the 50’s, and someone had a Nickleback song.

Well there you have it. There exists good rock music outside of the 60s/70s. Some song from the 50s and Nickleback.

Seriously though, you always wonder, how has a band like Nickleback, who has become the meme for generic lame shitty rockband had such a successful career.

Then you see someone unironically sneak them onto their top 10 list.

Nothing makes sense.

For realz.

I had to google the Nickleback song that was mentioned, Rockstar, and watched the video. I might have heard it before. It's pretty crap, but to your point, have you seen the video? Holy fucking cameos.

From Wiki:

On screen celebrities include Billy Gibbons (who voices his lines in the song), Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell, Cindy Taylor, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Eliza Dushku, Dominique Swain, Gene Simmons, Wayne Gretzky, Big & Rich's John Rich, the cast of The Girls Next Door, Kid Rock, Stacey Travis, Lupe Fiasco, Twista, Nelly Furtado, the crew from American Chopper, Paul Wall, Ted Nugent, Grant Hill, Taryn Manning, Lindsey Shaw, Riki Lindhome, Federico Castelluccio, Jerry Cantrell, Liam Lynch, Jordan Carlos, the Naked Cowboy,Three 6 Mafia and numerous others.
 
yeah....who doesn't wanna be a rockstar?

I completely agree on this.

No one's gonna agree with my list, but here's the list I'm feeling this morning as requested:

- "Iron Man" - Black Sabbath, 1970
- "Godzilla" - Blue Oyster Cult, 1977
- "Unchained" - Van Halen, 1981
- "Blackened" - Metallica, 1988
- "In Bloom" - Nirvana, 1991
- "Sober" - Tool, 1993
- "My Own Summer" - Deftones, 1997
- "Forest" - System of a Down, 2001
- "Critical Acclaim" - Avenged Sevenfold, 2007
- "Hunter Eats Hunter" - Chevelle, 2014

Yes, every song on this list is way better than anything Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd has ever done. Fuck you; fight me.
