Stairway to Heaven, Best rock song?

[meteor]

Perhaps not the best rock song of the history, but one of my favourites is "The final countdown", of the group Europe

Hmmm...forgot about Rush.

Didn't know Neil Young was Canadian. Then surely, Lynyrd Skynyrd's pissed-off-ness is understandable.

"Lynyrd Skynyrd'' was a gym coach [I had him in 8 grade]
the boys named the band after him to piss him off
boy was he a jerk!

BTW a great rock stream site for underground/garage
Hippie music, Underground, 60's punk, Flower Power, Mod, Free-Form-Freak-out, Garage music, Psychedelia or Teen Beat, the weirdest, the worst, the most powerful and nastiest ever recorded.

I thought his name was Leonard, or something like that...?!

yes [quickie cut and paste] the band mis-spelled the coach's name

I love the new blink 182 song... "Hello there, the angel from my nighmare ..blahblahblha" very nice.

"You remember Leonard Skinner - he got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner." Alan Sherman, Camp Grenada

 

[Janitor]

LOL - I remember that song well, Loren.

 

[i_wish_i_was_smart]

sum 41, nikel back and avril lavigne are not things to be proud of!

Matt

never said i was, i was just stating that they were in fact, Canadian, which supports that's most rock bands nowadays are Canadian

How about Down by the River by Neil Young? Who else can craft a kick ass riff using only one note?

Or for a more offbeat candidate, Venus in Furs by The Velvet Underground. Also partial to Black by Pearl Jam and Where I End and You Begin by Radiohead.

Those are great choices!

Thought of this thread while hearing Aerosmith's version of "Train Kept a Rollin'" on the radio tonight. And did it ever!
