Imagine a jukebox box with no side B's.

Can not argue with Stranglehold. Definition of a rock song.

I'm not a huge Springsteen fan, but this is in my top 10 rock songs of all time:

Love this song because it's the only one that showed off the genius of both John and Paul. John kind of spooks you and then Paul lightens the mood a bit. It's beautiful artistry.

The utter genius of John Lennon.

I'm a huge Yes fan. Anderson/Squire/Howe/Wakeman/White made up the best band era in rock history, speaking from a pure talent standpoint.

Acoustic Set they did. Skip the first 5 minutes or so as they are just fooling around being silly.

I think alot of one's opinion of the "best" rock and roll song depends on when you grew up as well. I cut my teeth in the mid-late 80's so I loved Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, early Van Halen, AC/DC as well the British Invasion of metal in the 80's. Rock and Roll (to me) should have an attitude, is not always clean or about the best musical chops, and is definately anti-establishment but most of all sounds good LOUD. I already voted on Ace of Spades which embodies all these traits but alot of early Ramones, Sex Pistols, Iron Maiden, even early Metallica has these qualities but I completely understand the guys that liked the Progressive bands of the 70's as well, great musicianship, mind-blowing live shows, etc. Nowadays I couldn't tell you what kids like other than hip-hop .
