Top rock songs ever
Recently NZ radio station The Rock had a countdown of the top 1000 rock songs ever. The song placings were decided on by votes from the general public. Somewhere around 60K votes were counted.
Here is the top 20: 1 AC/DC - Back in Black 2. GUNS N' ROSES - November Rain 3 METALLICA - Enter Sandman 4 NIRVANA - Smells Like Teen Spirit 5 PEARL JAM - Betterman 6 PINK FLOYD - Comfortably Numb 7 METALLICA - One 8 GUNS N' ROSES - Sweet Child of Mine 9 FOO FIGHTERS - Everlong 10 RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Killing in the name of 11 LED ZEPPELIN - Stairway to Heaven 12 PEARL JAM - Black 13 QUEEN - Bohemian Rhapsody 14 SHIHAD - Home again 15 LIVE - Lightning Crashes 16 TOOL - Sober 17 THE EAGLES - Hotel California 18 U2 - Beautiful Day 19 FOO FIGHTERS - Best of You 20 RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - Under The Bridge Full list can be found here: Rock top 1000 Im just wondering what you guys from america (and anywhere else) think about this list. |

Re: Top rock songs ever
this list is surprisingly bad, even for one voted on by radio listeners

Re: Top rock songs ever
what i find most amazing is that there are maybe three or four bands on this list whose best song is actually the song listeners picked.

Re: Top rock songs ever
Wow. WTF kind of people have like 15 of the top 20 rock songs ever coming from the 80's and 90's. No Rolling Stones, no Beatles, but the Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, and Metallica all have 2 songs on the list??!! I've never even heard like 4 or 5 of these songs and probably never will.
edit: Just noticed it's from New Zealand, when I first read it, I thought it was AZ. Is David Hasselhoff a popular musician down there? |

[/ QUOTE ] Man I heard that song for the first time listening to this countdown, what a bloody awesome song it is too. Im in agreeance with everyone here. Everlong maybe but theres no way best of you should even be in top 1000 let alone top 20. |
