Greatest/Best Rock "Anthems"

[redmarvel]

These are the songs that everyone knows. Easy to sing or with an amazing beat. (Much Music Listed is showing their top 20 this week and I want to see how close they are to what people really think are the greatest)

Example:
Kiss - I Wanna Rock and Roll All Nite
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

[redmarvel]

a song of celebration, usually acting as a symbol for a certain group of people

And their list of "rock and roll anthems" has Chuck Berry as the writer with the most

I think it was an anthem....because of the sheer force it has to make you wanna gyrate your hips like a blender and also smash things up like that ol family reunion.

[Babs Gordon]

wah.

those are the songs i think of when someone asks for songs that everyone knows the words to. i'm not saying they're the greatest songs. i'm just saying that everyone seems to know them, and sing to them. in the end you know i'm right.

 

[ComicChick]

some i thought of, though most will probably disagree.

I Love Rock & Roll- Joan Jett
Paradise City- Guns and Roses
Born in the USA- Springsteen
Satisfaction- Rolling Stones
We Will Rock You- Queen
Pour Some Sugar On Me- Def Leppard

There's another I'm trying to think of, I can't think of what's it's called but its by Steam. The Na-Na-Na-Hey-Hey song. I think it's called Kiss Him Goodbye, but I'm not sure.

 

[Babs Gordon]
