Greatest Rock & Roll Song - Ever

Gotta be "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry. Whenever I think of "traditional" rock & roll, this song is always the first that pops into my head.

maybe not be the "best ever" but it is awesome for sure.

Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group

All the players on that tune are tearing it up. And it is great from a composition stand point too. You can knock off some points for no vocals but still I think it deserves a mention.

The bride and I had this conversation Saturday. IMHO Sweet Home Alabama is the best American rock song. (Although Free Bird was my high school class song and I still love it.)

I love The Who's Behind Blue Eyes. I guess that's because I am the evil man behind blue eyes.

But I gotta say I think U2's Bad is my favorite all time rock song.
