Best Classic Rock Songs
I wanted to see what you think the best Classic Rock song is! It's all opinion, and if you choose a song not on the list, put it on the thread!
Also, I can't put every great song on the poll, but I would have loved to put Rush, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, and AC/DC in the poll |
The Eagles - Hotel California
OR Boston - Foreplay / Long Time For a long time I've considered these two the peak of songwriting in classic rock, but I'd have a hard time arguing that Stairway to Heaven isn't equally as well written, if not better. I think your list is fine in terms of historical significance as hits, but none of the listed tracks overwhelm me like the two above. |
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again.
Need proof? |
If Happy Together by the Turtles is considered Classic Rock then it would be my choice
|
from your picks i chose a day in the life.
my personal picks would be 'Dream on' by Aerosmith and this one |
Gotta be Hendrix's 'Bold As Love'.
|
A lot of the tunes like Stairway, Dream On, anything by the Who or Boston, etc. that get regular play on the classic rock stations around here usually get treated like background noise or the station gets changed, but when this one comes on, I crank it:
|
Whole lotta love by Led Zeppelin. It represents what classical rock is all about in 5-6 minutes. Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones is also good
|
Oh ****, there's a poll. Didn't see that. Gotta go with A Day In The Life for that list. Classic brilliance.

I've never been much of a Who fan but holy **** that performance. And I can't argue with the status of that track.

Apart from this list, my favorite is: |

That Daltrey scream is one of the top 10 moments of ROCK. |
Townshend's double spin, ****, I couldn't pull that off sober.
|
The one who really rocks there is Entwistle, imo. Not much of a Who fan either, but he's always been my favorite member by far. What a master.

Yeah, but he hates Led Zeppelin! :laughing:

2. Kinks 3. The Who 4. Stones/Zep Zep have better albums, but the Stones have better singles (although Satanic Majesties' Request is good, on par with I or II IMO), so it's a tie there. |

2. Kinks 3. Zep 4. Stones 5. The Who Agreed about Zep having better albums / Stones better singles. Also agree about Satanic Majesties', which is actually my favorite Stones album (I'm odd, I know. ;) It transports me to another world, which I need every now and then.). |
Kinks
Stones Who ... ... ... ... Beatles Zeppelin |

I quite like them as a singles band, however. |
I'd say 'Bad Company' BY Bad Company FROM 'Bad Company' ( 1974 ). It should also be on the 'Bad Company' label ( :yeah:) ! But I digress. A timeless classic indeed ( :bowdown:) !
|
^^^^ I love Bad Company too...one of my top favorite bands, but in this poll I'm surprised that Gimme Shelter didn't get more votes??

Other; Jail Bait - Wishbone Ash
|
1. Stones
2. Pink Floyd 3. Led Zeppelin 4. The Who 5. Kinks :D |
Billy Squire's Lonely is the Night is definitely my favorite
|
Come on now - no love for Free Bird?
|
Turtles - Happy Together

This track has really soared up there as one of my favourite classic rock songs. |

Could someone please tell me how to post the 'cover' of the song chosen as opposed to just the https line. i tried pasting the url in insert link above but only got the printed word not the picture. Thanks.
I'lll try posting in the title slot- failed! In the meantime, Kevin again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLrGG8jWx_E |
A Day in the Life and Gimme Shelter would be on my list but my favorite would be Strawberry Fields Forever. I should also give a shout out to All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople too.
|
I picked other as they are ALL good!!
|
Queen all day!
|
I disagree with polls including an option for 'other'. I think folks either take the poll with the choices m given or don't take the poll.
Not to nitpick just being peevish. I went with All Along through Watchtower, which is an actual option. |
