To take a break from my “favourite film” series, today I’m moving on my other passion in life: rock music. I am putting together a list of what I feel to be the 10 greatest rock songs ever.
10. Bob Marley: Redemption Song: This song is the story of Marley’s life, and a call to future generations to "sing these songs of freedom."
9. Metallica: One: The greatest true heavy metal song ever put to tape.
8. Beatles: Revolution: A strong melody, good playing, and a song that actually has something to say.
7. Guns N Roses: November Rain: It's not often that an 8 minute epic becomes a band's biggest hit. But such was the case with G'nR and November Rain.
6. Aerosmith: Walk This Way: Probably the best known guitar riff ever.
5. AC/DC: Highway to Hell: Those opening chords just sound like you're starting on a trip to hell. A whole lot of people can relate to being on a highway to hell.
4. The Doors: Light My Fire: I love the Doors. More accurately, I love Jim Morrison. Enough said.
3. U2: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For: I honestly feel that this is the most honest song ever written.
2. Pink Floyd: Another Brick in the Wall Part II: The only Pink Floyd song on the list. It is almost impossible to calculate how much this song, and the album it was a part of ("The Wall") influenced other bands and artists, but to say it was great is an extreme understatement.
1. Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody: NO song has it over this one. This one is beyond controversy, beyond argument...and beyond belief...
