I'll take "American Music That Fluffy Has Never Heard Of" for 2000, Alex.

Greatest rock&roll song? its impossible for me to choose... I was the typical new-wave-kid in the 80's .....till I got in my hand by a chance the old Led Zeppelin II album... I played it and thought: wow! I listened to the "Whole Lotta Love" and said WOW! I think, that song has biased me mostly ever...

American music, with the exception of country music, is very very known in Europe, much more than american sports (and politics/geography), but behind american movies.

However I have problems with songs released before I was born .

Stairway to heaven.

+1 for Stairway

The Hendrix cover of All Along the Watchtower is right up there, as is Aerosmith's Dream On. I'd put Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath on the short list, too.


Strongly disagree with Mike about Hurricane; I think it's Dylan's best. I'd probably like it even more if I thought Carter were innocent.

Definitions matter. Is it rock, pop, rock 'n roll, or what?

I think the best pure rock 'n roll song ever was Satisfaction.

That's funny, over here the young people listen to 1970 music nowadays. Is it different in Spain?

[Aberlour10]

In the category "rock band & symphonic orchestra" I would nominee this...a great piece of vinyl!

[ggwhiz]

For our size, Canada is ummm STRONG. Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and there is no let up from the new(er)bies.

How about White Hot - Red Rider and Tom Cochrane
Anything early by the Tragically Hip

and keep an eye on Colin James, Chicks and Cars and a Third World War, Keep on Lovin me Baby etc. He's got it goin.

I do sincerely apologize for Ann Murray and Celine Dion but you owe us BIG time for John Denver, Wayne Newton and Honey, I Miss You by Bobby Goldsboro.

[Winstonm]

Damn straight, Canada.

I can see her lyin' back in her faded dress in the room where you do what you don't confess.

Best......hmmm you mean his best song ever....no not close....


Lets just start with Like a rolling stone...which many consider the greatest rock and roll song ever.

Go away from my window, leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you wanted, I'm not the one you need
You say you wanted someone who was never weak but always strong
someone to defend you and protect you, whether you were right or wrong
someone to open each and every door

Well, it ain't me, babe
A no, no, no, it ain't me, babe
it ain't me your lookin' for, babe

IMO, Hurricane > Like a Rolling Stone, and it's not his only song that's better than Like a Rolling Stone, either. It's on his short list, though.

It's like "Hey Jude," but not nearly as bad - I've heard radio station countdowns where Hey Jude comes in at #1. For the love of God, it's not even in the top 10 BEATLES songs.

Another thread asks about feeling old. IN the early sixties, the University of Minnesota radio station was playing Dylan before anyone much had ever heard of him. I don't much claim to have good taste but maybe:

Lay lady lay, lay across my big brass bed.

Or

Sara Sara, whatever made you want to change your mind
Sara, Sara, so easy to look at so hard to define


I'm not really all that big on his social commentary except maybe Everybody must get stoned
