Re: Top rock songs ever
Was Rush ever considered a "rock" band? They were more like Yes or ELP and probably don't belong on this list, despite the masses who dropped acid to 2112. Rush seemed a more high-brow, intellectual rock band than their peers - probably because of Neil Peart.
I saw Peart play in a Buddy Rich Tribute Concert in NYC around 1991. Give this guy credit - he hung in there with Rich's jazz band the whole way. Marvin "Smitty" Smith stole the show easy, but Peart had a huge supporting audience. Also there was Journey's Steve Smith, who's got pretty impressive jazz chops for a "rock" drummer...
