The Rockingist Song Ever

[JumpmasterK]

I wonder what is the most Rockingist song ever. Jammin' here, and I think the top three are

Turn Up The Night - Black Sabbath
Looks That Kill - Motley Crue
Tarot Woman - Rainbow

And before it gets out of hand, 'Freebird' and or anything by Zeppelin (except for 'Blackdog') don't make the cut.

[TPD1280]

Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull
Sanitarium - Metallica
The Zoo - Scorpions

ETA: In The Dark - Billy Squier
Heavy Metal - Sammy Hagar

[eltrane]

Emerald-Thin Lizzy

Search and Destroy-The Stooges

Rock N Roll Singer-AC/DC

Those were the first three that came to mind for me.

I have to add Janie Jones by the Clash as well.

[eltrane]

New Girl Now-Honeymoon Suite..how about the top ten?:)

[Graphic Ed]

Thunderstruck- AC/DC
Me-262- Blue Oyster Cult
The Mob Rules- Black Sabbath

[ex]

Dreams - Van Halen

Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones

[Doc P]

Home - Marc Broussard

Voodoo Child - Hendrix

Song of the Patriot - John Cash

Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones

[DY]

Johnathan Livingston Seagull - Niel Diamond

Peace Tain - Cat Stevens

Sound of Silence- Crosby, Stills and Nash

When I think of "rockingest" I think of stuff that vibrates in my head, or makes me want to smash a car through a brick wall. Like scores of hardcore bands I've never bothered to know the names of. Or For Those About To Rock... Even some Rush can run a guy into sensory overload.

[Guy]

Back that ass up---?:p :D

Stay safe.

[DY]

--- Like a brick..... howse...

[T-Rock]

Stranglehold - Terrible Ted
Waitin' for the bus/jesus just left chicago - ZZ Top
Cold Shot - Stevie Ray Vaughan

[Bravo Five Romeo]

Rockingest song?
I supose that depends on your definition of "rockingest" because there are some pretty gay answers here.

Songs with long wanking self indulgent masturbatory guitar leads do not rock.
Male singers who scream in high pitches like frightened 12 year old girls do not rock.

But loudest and heaviest doesn't always rock either.

To me, what makes a song rock is a simple catchy riff and vocals with a hook.

For example, the Rolling Stones song "Satisfaction" or the Black Sabbath song "Paranoid" are both classic simple rock songs... simple short uncomplicated catchy guitar riffs without big solos or long ballady parts. Little leads are nice to accent songs but all too often some guitarist or drummer (or worse, bass player) feels the need to masturbate on stage via a tedius solo to show off their technical prowess. If it's a "rocking" song, a solo only kills the momentum. Otherwise solos are just ways to fool the listener into thinking the band rocks... sort of the way big special effects in a movie distract the audience from the ridiculous plot.

I had a new guitarist in my band years ago who said, as we were working on a new song in rehearsal, "Hey, I could put an amazing solo in there." I responded, "I have no doubt that you could... but should you?"

I grew up on early 80's American HC/punk. So here are my choice of "rockingest" US HC/punk songs

Agent Orange "Bloodstains"
Negative Approach "Nothing"
Gang Green: "Alcohol"
Articles of Faith: "Bad Attitude"
Poison Idea: "Taken by Surprise"
Reagan Youth: "New Aryans"

[Gryfen-FL]

I was born too late:

Cherry Pie -Warant
Get it On -T Rex
Pour Some Sugar on Me -Def Leppard

[KidA]

NIN: Wish.

It will make you break everything in your house, beat up your parents, and then burn down the neighborhood.

[1026]

Highway Star by Deep Purple

Let There Be Rock by AC/DC

Hocus Pocus by Focus.

[NightLandNav]

What's wrong with you people.

Rockingest song ever... "Rock-a-bye-baby"

If the intent was to define the best rock song:
The greatest song in the world is technically the one titled -"The greatest song in the world"- by Tenacious D.
This would cover Rock, therefore, greatest/best Rock song ever.
Pointing out that "The greatest song in the world" is a Rock song only further proves this conclusion.

However, by default "Rock-a-bye-baby" is still the "Rockingest" song ever due to semantic and historical technicality.

[guns]

My definition of "rockingist" would be the songs that get me fired up enough to do a few extra pull-ups at the end of a workout. So I have to go with:

"Spit It Out"-Slipknot
"I Will Be Heard"-Hatebreed
"Walk"-Pantera

[M.Pen]

On Fire- Van Halen

Battery - Metallica

Angel Of Death - Slayer

[DCH]

Hotel California- The Eagles
One- Metallica
Bo. Rhap.- Queen
Evenflow- Pearl Jam

[Mr. Blonde]

A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'n Roll - Donnie & Marie

[steelbreeze]

What's wrong with you people.

Right on. Though I haven't heard the song, just the tribute to it.

[B 2/75]

sure, I'll vote fer it. I was even accused of being a "baby killin war pig" by a rather hot college bimbo one day. I slammed my books on her table (she was registering students to vote as Dems... they had 2 lines) and with a slightly intense look told her "In the fields the bodies burning, bitch" and left. LOL, that was one of my best ever comebacks :)

[sawbones]

[Bravo Five Romeo]

Good song... but lazy lyric writing.
Ozzy (in his head, as he wrote the song): "Hmmm... I'm stuck... masses... masses... what rhymes with masses?... I got it! Masses!"

[Typhoon]

Favorite Rock songs of mine that jump immediately to mind:
"Green Onions" Booker T. and the M.G.s
"All Along the Watchtower" Jimmy Hendrix (Can't believe no one mentioned this one yet)
"Jump Into The Fire" Harry Nielson
"Communication Breakdown" Led Zepplin
"Dream On" Aerosmith
"Cities on Flame (With Rock and Roll)" Blue Oyster Cult
"Its a Long Way To The Top..." AC/DC
"Golden Age of Leather" Blue Oyster Cult
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" Metallica

[Claemore]

Just about anything Motorhead does. But "Smilin' Like A Killer" comes to mind.

The "Devil Man!" song by White Zombie- don't think that's the actual title, but it should be.

"Battery" by Metallica, but pretty much anything they do, also.

[RickyRecon]

Hold On To The Night - Richard Marx

[fish78]

I am much too old for almost all the songs listed, but for you oldies

Chonie on Chon...originally done by James Brown, but redone better by the Radio Kings.
Good Rockin' Tonight...Wynonie Harris
Be Bop a Lula Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps

[Lannister]

Pathway to Glory... Loggins and Messina...

[The Corporate Guy]

Hold On To The Night - Richard Marx

lol...was waiting for the first Celine Dion (sp?) or Morrissey vote...Richard Marx wasn't on the radar.

[Terminator2]

My definition of "rockingist" would be the songs that get me fired up enough to do a few extra pull-ups at the end of a workout.

I hear that!

The ones that do it for me:

Take This Life, Crawl Through Knives, Pinball Map, World of Promises - In Flames

Follow the Reaper - Children of Bodom

Frozen - Nightrage

This is Absolution - Killswitch Engage

Epoch of War - Becoming the Archetype


I like my workout music REALLY heavy! ;)

[B 2/75]

The Godz - Gotta Keep on Runnin (blistering hot rock from a one-hit band)

The Rockets - Oh Well (cover of the old Fleetwood Mack tune, done MUCH MUCH better than the original)

[airbornelawyer]

If the intent was to define the best rock song:
The greatest song in the world is technically the one titled -"The greatest song in the world"- by Tenacious D.
This would cover Rock, therefore, greatest/best Rock song ever.
Pointing out that "The greatest song in the world" is a Rock song only further proves this conclusion.Tenacious D's song wasn't the greatest song itself, it was about the greatest song. A Tribute, as steelbreeze notes.

[airbornelawyer]

Du Hast - RAMMSTEIN
I think there are much better Rammstein songs than "Du Hast", but that's the only one to ever get U.S. radio play.

I prefer "Gekreuzigt" ("Crucified") by Oomph! and "Gott sein" by Megaherz from the New German Hardness (NDH) scene.

Other votes for songs I don't think have been mentioned:

Paradise City - G'N'R
Cowboys from hell - Pantera
Paint it Black - Stones (always reminds me of the opening credits of Tour of Duty)

[Fire-Gunner]

I guess my definition of a "Rockin'" song is different than most of you guys.:D Here are a few that I would consider some of the "Rockinest" songs:

"Smokin'"- Boston
"Escape"- Journey
"Carry on Wayward Son"- Kansas
"Rock the Nation"- Montrose
"I Wanna Be Sedated"- the Ramones
"Jailbreak"- Thin Lizzy
"Tush"- ZZ Top

[Expatmedic]

I graduated from high school in 86, but listen to everything. Not necesarily in this order my top three would be:

One-Metalica
Jesus Built My Hotrod-Ministry
Sympathy for the Devil-Stones

[NightLandNav]

Tenacious D's song wasn't the greatest song itself, it was about the greatest song. A Tribute, as steelbreeze notes.

Ah, a logic circle. :)

Your Honor, if it pleases the Court, in the light of this development, we would like to withdraw our assertion regarding "The greatest song in the word" by Tenacious D, from further argument.

However, our position on "Rock-a-bye -baby" remains the same.

:D ;)

[Doc P]

I think there are much better Rammstein songs than "Du Hast", but that's the only one to ever get U.S. radio play.

Indeed, the song "Feuer Frei" is much better. FYI, it's the song playing in the club scene in the movie "XXX", where the guy has the fire blowing face thing on.

[Hopeless Civilian]

25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago.

This may be an urban legend, but Jimi Hendrix was supposedly asked once who was the best guitarist in America. He mentioned two...... Terry Kath of Chicago, and a young teenage guitarist in some lil unknown band from Texas...Billy Gibbons.

only band ive ever heard of in all these groups is steppenwolf-saw them live in about 67.

Many guitarists have been mentioned in that one. I read today on another site that Jimi was asked what it was like to be the best guitarist in the world and his reply was "Ask Phil Keaggy."

"Ace of Spades" - Motorhead





For the critera of this thread, definatly.

"Love Removal Machine" or anything by The Cult, really, also comes to mind.

Punk Rock ain't rock B5R, just like most punk these days ain't punk. I do however, agree with the rest of your assement of "rock".

Metal ain't rock, not in the classifiaction anyway. You could classify Motorhead as metal, but it was such an early stage of that type of catagorization, that it just doesn't apply.

Glam rock doesn't equate to anything that "ROCKS". Guys wearing lipstick and rouge is an automatic disqualification.


The whole "classic rock" or "60's rock" is debatable, and should be taken on a case by case basis.

Techno, even amped up techno like Ministry or Rammstien is not rock, it's techno.

[Squidly99]

Johnny Winter - Highway 61 Revisited
Alice Cooper - Poison
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Mother's Finest - Rain, Fire, Give you all the love
AC/DC - Riff Raff

I always thought "The Trooper" would have been popular with the Rangers from back in the day.

[Massgrunt]

I always thought "The Trooper" would have been popular with the Rangers from back in the day.You're thinking of "It's Raining Men".

[Luke]

Great thread. The whole problem is defining a rock band and "rockingest". Ruling out metal eliminates the heaviest songs. I suppose what it really comes down to is what song do you crank on your brand new stereo to impress friends/scare small animals? That being said, I'll throw in a whole bunch of my (heaviest) favorites:

As I Lay Dying - Confined
Becoming the Archetype - Endure
Chimaira - Inside the Horror
Damageplan - Save Me
Demon Hunter - Not I
Dethklok - Duncan Hills Jingle (someone else here has to be a fan)
Dillinger Escape Plan - Setting Fire to Sleeping Giants
Fear Factory - Slave Labor
Iced Earth - The Reckoning
In Flames - Versus Terminus
Living Sacrifice - Local Vengeance Killing
Nevermore - Ambivalent
Shadows Fall - Inspiration on Demand
Strapping Young Lad - Imperial

[Kabar Toss]

I got a few to add..

"Look to Your Orb for Warning" - Monster Magnet.. Heard this song not too long ago. Really quite good.
"For Whom the Bell Tolls" - Metallica.. In my opinion, their best song
"Like a Rock" - Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band.. This song is actually incredibly encouraging.
"Wizards in Winter" - Trans-Siberian Orchestra.. no lyrics but still awesome
"Another One Bites the Dust" - Queen
"Last Dance of Mary Jane" - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
"Blue on Black" - Kenny Wayne Sheppard.. I'm on the fence with this guy.. on one hand he wants to be Stevie Ray Vaughn.. on the other hand, this song is awesome.

[TPD1280]

Oh shit, if that's the critera.

Rollins Band, End of Silence album.

Hard self hate music.

I see you standing off by yourself
unable to express the pain of your distress
you withdraw deeper inside.
you alienate yourself,
and everybody else,
they wonder what's on your mind.

That's a good tune, and a fun video.

But to my mind, no other song, no other music says 'We are here to kick the ever loving shit out of you, and the time for you to be afraid is right now' like the Imperial March from Star Wars. I seem to remember stating this before years back, and my opinion has not changed.

[cpart84]

I dont care who you are, "Backstreets" by Springsteen will knock you on your ass.

and "teeth like god's shoe shine" by modest mouse

"everlong" by the foo fighters

"liar" by henry rollins is pretty good also

Actually he's gay.

Odd that someone who proffessess to be "Mr. Truth" is still a closet fag.

Still, "The End of Silence" and everything before it kicked ass, everything after sucks major donkey dick.

His spoken word is still pretty good stuff.

I do have to give him a lot of credit for going overseas in bad guys lands for the USO more than any other "celebrety".

I certainly don't think it's a big deal myself. Rob Halford (Judas Priest) is gay. He also still rocks;

You Keep Me Hangin' On, Vanilla Fudge. They got it right. Much better than the Supremes.

Stone Cold Crazy by Metallica is also much better than the original by Queen.

Johnny Cash covered 'Personal Jesus'. It is slow and with an acoustic guitar. Somehow, though, it rocks.

Rob Halford hit on me at a Starbucks in San Diego when I was on my 3rd date with my now wife.

He was with some Marine looking guy, but kept looking over and winking at me.

Kinda cool in an odd sorta way.

I heard about him being gay in 85 from some guy whose dad was a roadie for JP. I didn't buy it at the time unitll he told me to listen to the lyrics, I mean really listen to them.

No matter, I still dig the music.

Shit, Queen rules, and that is all about gayness.

[Matchanu]

Stone Cold Crazy by Metallica is also much better than the original by Queen.


Maybe, but if you were about to insinuate that the Metalica covers of "So Fucking What" by The Anti-Nowere League, or "Last Caress" by The Misfits were even close to being as good, I'd have to fly out to your Kyzinski shack in Bublefuck AR and burn it down.

Metalica completely fucked those up.

Hot For the Teacher- Van Halen
Ball and Chain- Social D
Hell Bent and Whiskey Bound- Hank jr
