Sorry boys, despite all the possible options, there ain't but one clear choice: Voodoo Child. If you need reasons why, you don't know $#!+.

Eddie Vedder did an excellent version of that last night in Chicago.

I'm stretching the 'definition' a little, but I believe the absolute best song of all time is :

"Mustang Sally"

Wilson Pickett's version rocks, but nearly everyone else who has covered it kicks it as well. I think I have 8 or more different versions by different artists, & I love each one. It is one song I never tire of hearing.

I'm listening to a Buddy Guy version right now.

And yet, by the definition of many, none of you has yet actually mentioned a real "rock & roll" song.

How 'bout a little Eddie Cochran or Little Richard or somethin'?

As much as I want to bring Elvis or Chuck Berry into the deal, I have to say Led Zeppelin's Rock & Roll sure is a fine example of a rock song.

True. I was using the broader definition of "rock & roll."

From Wikipedia:
Quote:
The term "rock and roll" now has at least two different meanings, both in common usage. The American Heritage Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary both define rock and roll as synonymous with rock music. Conversely, Allwords.com defines the term to refer specifically to the music of the 1950s. For the purpose of differentiation, this article uses the latter definition, while the broader musical genre is discussed in the "rock music" article.

Knowing that every answer is completely subjective, I'll suggest this one for several reasons.

1. It is epic in length
2. It has blistering guitar work and solid drumming
3. It was performed before 1/2 million people
4. It gives nods to several "classic" rock and rollers
5. It receives a special reward at the end

It's not my favorite, but it may be the greatest ever.
