Zamboni Man Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Either of these done by Aerosmith: Walk This Way Dude (Dude looks like a lady) I'll go with Train Kept A Rollin'.
mary owen Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Great comeback! Lisa wanted to know why I'm laughing out loud here in the den. As much as I love Rod, you got me! 214636[/snapback] I personally liked his version of "I'm Losin' You"
***PetrinoInAlbany*** Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I'll go with Train Kept A Rollin'. 214638[/snapback] Chip Away The Stone is another one they did that even after all these years still gets to me...
Nanker Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 If it were not for Robert Johnson, Bill Broonzy, Charlie Patton, Mamie Smith you would not be listening to Elvis 214564[/snapback] True, but my 78's are pretty scratchy. I haven't listened much to the roots for years. Elvis is the guy that brought it all mainstream though. Without Elvis, Eric and Jon Mayall wouldn't have known about RJ and Son House. (egads! did I just say RJ? Yikes!) There wouldn't have been JMBB, Cream, Led Zepplin. The Beadles ripped off the Everly Brothers and the Beach Boys more than they did Elvis, and only John seemed to dig very deep towards the roots of it all. Of course, you'll bring up Paul's Little Richard thing. True, he did a good impersonation, but he was always more into show tunes... "When I'm 64..." (It'll be 2114).

Coach Tuesday Posted January 22, 2005 Author Posted January 22, 2005 Hard Habit To Break by Chicago 214761[/snapback] Um... you're either joking or emasculated... I'll throw in another vote - Radiohead's "My Iron Lung."
BadDad Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 NOT what is the best rock song, but what song rocks the hardest (there is a difference).I'm gonna vote for two - both "sugar songs" : "Sugarcube" - Yo La Tengo "Sugarcane" - Sonic Youth (Since this is a Bills Board, let's see how many posts we get before "Tom Sawyer" appears.) 212996[/snapback] Howsabout Statesborough Blue by the Alman Bros. from "Live at the Filmore East" ?
VABills Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Here Comes Peter Cottontail. Get's me in the mood for bunny hunting.
Toledo Bill Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Sorry Youngsters... Roadhouse Blues by the Doors
jayg Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 many to list right now wasted sunsets, deep purple axis bold as love, jimi hendrix beyond the realms of death, judas priest fade to black, metallica anything alice in chains they effin rock me!
mary owen Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Howsabout Statesborough Blue by the Alman Bros. from "Live at the Filmore East" ? 214868[/snapback] BD, that one is hard to leave off any list. If you love that, you ought to check out "Live at the Beacon" DVD. "Desdemona" is just out of this world, in fact the whole concert just punches me right in the face.....in a good way. Here's another that I didn't see on the list: "One of these days" by Pink Floyd
Spiderweb Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Peter Gabriel: Sledgehammer!!!!!!!! 213670[/snapback] Gabriel? Check out the live version of "Biko".....blows the overly pop Sledgehammer away.
alg Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Led Zeppelin - When The Levee Breaks. That's rock power my friends.
BRH Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 AC/DC: Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution I took a look inside your bedroom doorYou looked so good lying on your bed Well, I asked you if you wanted any rhythm and love You said you wanna rock 'n' roll instead Def Leppard: Rock of Ages Rise up! Gather roundRock this place to the ground Burn it up let's go for broke Watch the night go up in smoke Rock on! (rock on!) Drive me crazier, no serenade No fire brigade, just Pyromania, c'mon What do you want? What do you want? I want rock'n'roll Long live rock'n'roll Van Halen: And The Cradle Will Rock Well, they say it's kinda frightnin'How this younger generation swings You know it's more than just some new sensation Well, the kid is into losin' sleep And he don't come home for half the week You know it's more than just an aggravation And the cradle will rock Yes the cradle, cradle will rock And I say rock on...
BRH Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Also either "Bad To The Bone" or "I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood & the Destroyers. And I can't believe no one's listed Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good." That one always goes to eleven on my radio when it comes on.
