    Default Greatest rock song of all time??

    AC/DC - It's a Long Way to the Top

    In my opinion, this is the best rock song ever.

    For me, it's a toss-up between Springsteen's 'Born In The U.S.A.' & Bon Jovi's 'You Give Love A Bad Name' for greatest rock song.

    i have a hard time writing a list of my top ten albums of all time, but one song? that's almost impossible.
    but if you put a gun to my head and forced me to choose, the first one that comes to mind is bob dylan, 'like a rolling stone'. revolutionary. epic. iconic. mythical. utterly perfect. never fails to blow me away, no matter how many times i listen to it.

    at the newport festival in 1965 (his first electric performance):

    I agree with this. I love this song.. But it's hard to say it's the best rock song EVER, when there are so many good ones.
