Favorite Rock Song?

[TheProwler]

A "few" years ago?

I looked it up....1997....time flies.

[TheProwler]

Really? That's shouldn't even be in his top 5 best songs...better songs by springsteen: Born to Run, Thunder Road, JUNGLELAND (In bold because it's what you should have labeled his best), The RIver, Cover Me, I'm On Fire, Brilliant Disguise, Rosalita, Born in the USA and i could go on from there and name more and that's just Springsteen.

Not really wanting to argue here....but that is the thing about subjective opinions...people might disagree and nobody is right or wrong. Dancing in the Dark is a catchy tune and has a great beat to actually dance to...


And you didn't even list my favourite rock song of all time...which is actually a Bruce Springsteen song...Pink Cadillac...rock the way it was meant to be.

Yes pink cadillac would also be listed above it. I realize it's subjective. I get really worked up about music though...to me there's no greater entertainment.

The Prowler is actually seeming like an alright guy.

The power of music.

Don't be fooled....I might be Canadian...but this is still my theme song:

Kansas -- Miracles out of Nowhere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jseTa7HUIDU The visual is boring but I looked at the live version and Steve Walsh jumping around takes away.

Boston -- Peace of Mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvmTX1A7zDs

Heart -- Crazy on you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gpNqB4dnT4

"Crazy On You" was the best female vocal since Grace Slick in "Somebody to Love".

Honibaz

Aint she great? On their pop comeback hit "Alone", the best part is the second chorus where she skips the first 2 lines and just vocalizes.

[comic boy]

There are hundreds I could pick , here are some not mentioned yet ;

Like a Hurricane - Neil Young
Wont get fooled again - Who
Heroes - Bowie
Vienna - Ultravox
Angie - Rolling Stones
Tangled up in Blue - Dylan

I got to see the Headstones at a ski hill on July first the day someone was hit by lightning after we left. They tore it up.

How underated is Steve Stevens? You must have seen these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEuaurcvtik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f67yj-mf0AM

ehm.. am I missing something? Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springstein

Really? That's shouldn't even be in his top 5 best songs...better songs by springsteen: Born to Run, Thunder Road, JUNGLELAND (In bold because it's what you should have labeled his best), The RIver, Cover Me, I'm On Fire, Brilliant Disguise, Rosalita, Born in the USA and i could go on from there and name more and that's just Springsteen.

All those songs you mentioned I also like, but I like dancing in the dark better, the topic is Favorite Rock Song not Best Rock Song.

Eventually you'll learn to ignore my rants when it comes to music.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light

Meat Loaf

[TheProwler]

"Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive"

I love the song...and I find that part really quite funny.

That's my favourite song of all time.

My wife likes it when I try to look her in the eye and sing along with that part in the car.

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

More post-punk than rock but it's certainly my favourite song in the 'rock' genre.

[Serbia]

And I really love Yellow Ledbetter.

Excellent song. For me though, gotta be Pearl Jam - Alive

[nietzsche]

what about progressive rock? wish you were here?

Paradise city

[strike wolf]

what about progressive rock? wish you were here?

I mentioned some Pink Floyd and i think one or two others might have said Comfortably Numb but not sure.

[Serbia]

what about progressive rock? wish you were here?

As in Incubus? Incubus - Wish You Were Here

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

More post-punk than rock but it's certainly my favourite song in the 'rock' genre.

Your not confusing this with The Captain and Tennille - Love Will Keep Us Together, are you?

[iamkoolerthanu]

I feel like whenever I get a favorite song, I listen to it enough to get sick of it, and then it's not my favorite any more. I enjoy variety.

True for me as well..

Not at all. The title is a deliberate cynical response to that song. It is an all time classic, I am surprised you've never heard of it!

Agreed with Serbia about Alive by Pearl Jam, that is a classic. As is Smells Like Teen Spirit, In Bloom and most of Nevermind by Nirvana.

I find it hard to pick out select songs, but great rock albums, personal favourites of mine also include The Velvet Underground & Nico, Radiohead (The Bends, Ok Computer, Kid A), The Red Hot Chili Pepper's By The Way, Dark Side of The Moon and Are You Experienced? The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

This philosophy also works when selecting a mate.
