I believe everyone is forgetting about one obvious contender for the title:

 

[Hailey Knight]

No one ever mentions this song, but it's fucking awesome.

 

[Disconnected]

"For what it's worth"
fun fact -Stills reportedly wrote the song in reaction to escalating unrest between law enforcement and young club-goers related to the closing of Pandora's Box, a club on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California

"School Day" - Chuck Berry

"Takin' Care of Business" (the canadian in me requires I include this in every music list.)

Stairway and Rhapsody get all the glory for being epic rock songs, but there's at least a couple more that deserve the 'epic' title.





Edit: Kati would like to add the following...

If I asked for the greatest rock song i would want something fast and, you know, rocking. Stairway may be an awesome song but it wouldnt fit what I wanted.

Yeah, sorry, here you go:

Rock on....

 

[Philosopher B.]

Oh, and:

some more contemporary selections.

 

[Iaculus]

Don't know whether they're the greatest songs ever, but here's some unmentioned ones from the more energetic side of the tracks:

 

[Sparhawk]

Limelight by Rush

I would recommend the radio edit of Wicker Man by Iron Maiden (it's just a much tighter song).

Come Sail Away by Styx

Wasted Year by Iron Maiden

Satch Boogie by Joe Satriani

 

[Rob King]

How has November Rain not come up? I mean, maybe not the greatest rock song ever, but it hasn't even been mentioned? It breaks my heart.

 

[HCGLNS]

The greatest Rock and Roll song is Rocker by AC/DC

[LordRendar]

Journey - Dont Stop Believing

 

[sixpackshaker]

Journey - Dont Stop Believing

Don't troll please.

 

[Element 117]

Chaz was right.
