In your list, but not mine.
I have never been impressed by Guns N’ Roses. The music is lacking in something. I’m not sure what it is. It is as if the music is lacking emotional involvement. To me their music has the involvement of elevator music. Maybe it’s over processed in performance and recording. Maybe something else.
IAE, Guns N’ Roses would never make any list of top songs from me.
BillyTheMountain by the Mothers of Invention (with Flo and Eddie) is on my top 10.
I assume you mean the cover version by Hendrix, not the original which wouldn’t qualify as rock.
Did they ever perform it post or pre the Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman days? Can you execute the Tibetan Memory Trick?
Mmmm, interestingly enough ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ is, to my mind, the only GnR song.
It’s the only example of Slash wrapping his guitar around Axl’s Vocal calisthenics.
I like.
I’d also chuck ‘Child in Time’ by Deep Purple (Mark 2, if you want to be technical) and ‘The End’ by The Doors into a top 10 rock list.
And Janis’s ‘Piece of My Heart’.
IF I can unicycle and juggle, that’s easy. How about:
I’m a pleasant mother pheasant plucker
I pluck mother pheasants
I’m the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker that ever plucked a mother pheasant!
“Lighter Shade of Pale” Procul Harem
“Hey, Joe” The Leaves
“Walk Away Renee” West Bank
“Ruby Tuesday” Rolling Stones
“Pictures of Lilly” The Who
“Riders on the Storm” The Doors
“After the Goldrush” Neil Young
“Country” Neil Young
“A Day in the Life” The Beatles
“Badge” Cream
I’d like to like it. It’s a song that breaks away from the regular verse chorus format by throwing in a good solo. Rock needs more songs do that.
Something interesting is that many of the top rock songs have freeform elements, solos, and a musical form that isn’t stuck in a rigid verse chorus. They’re songs that can be expanded to 12 minutes during a concert. Pop songs can’t do that. Many rock songs can’t do that. We need a return to the epic rock song. The long form.
Rock isn’t dead. It’s just developed a short attention span.
Alright, I’ll be the dick who points out that it’s A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum.
I thought your name was Raphael, not Richard.
Sounds like the list a girl would post…
Circle N- morning glory
- “Loser” Beck
- “Underground Network” Anti-flag
- “Pizza Day” Aquabats
- “Southern California” Wax
- “Through the Fire and the Flame” Dragonforce
- “Bad Days” Flaming Lips
- “Anarchy in the UK” Sex Pistols
- “Admit It” Say Anything
- “All my Friends are Dead” Turbonegro
- “Dracula From Houston” The Butthole Surfers
And for that matter, has there even been a band to rival the song writing output of the Beatles?
Who is the Bob Seger of my generation?
Music, art and unicycling, you can’t standstill.
It is not that rock is dead, if you look a little way under the surface rock is still soldiering on, it is such qoutes like “rock is dead” that are keeping the genre down, that and an influx of Rap and Dance music, not to mention get famous quick popstar TV shows.
There isnt even any good dance/techno music anymore. One goes to the club and is forced to listen to RnB and Rap.
Just like Darren Hanlon suggests with his song: punks not dead shes just gone to bed." Rock is merely having a nap and will be up re-energised some time soon like every other music genre fading in and out of fashion.
As for the top ten, why post such a thread when you are never going to come to an actual conclusion?
everyone is going to have there own view.
That’s the point: Realists, nostalgists, and apologists. Rock is dead.
Yeah maybe, but what a wake.
