Greetings--
I am taking an informal survey for my business and thought the huge slice of life that resides at Lush would be a good place for feedback.
Can you give me the name of one song, released within the so-called rock and roll era, that will be timeless, ie, they will still be requested of radio stations. It does not have to be a rock and roll song, but during the era, so dont give me an Elvis song.
Lets say Beatles generation and forward
I appreciate your participation and providing me with your opinions....
Just as a starter, I would take Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin
Thanks again
Marcia
Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith.
You're leaving out nearly 10 years of REAL rock and roll. Elvis didn't earn the name King of Rock and Roll for being pre-rock and roll.
As far as from the Beatles on, I like Layla (Derek and the Dominos)
WOW, So hard to name just one. The first one that comes to mind for me is "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple. Probably the first song that every aspiring guitarist learned to play and probably the most recognizable Guitar Riff of all-time.
BTW, How the fuck is Deep Purple NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Few others to pop in my head are
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Satisfaction - Rolling Stones
Sunshine of My Love - Cream
Comfortably Numb _ Pink Floyd
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
And On and On!
Light My Fire - The Doors, or Layla - Derek and the Dominoes
All of the above, plus (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - Rolling Stones, A Day In The Life - Beatles
"Maggie May" - Rod Stewart
"Maggie May" - Rod Stewart
All Along the Watchtower - Bob Dylan wrote it but it will likely be the Hendrix version that lives on
Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues
In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins
The house of the rising sun by The Animals
Midnight Rider by The Allman brothers
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
We will rock you by Queen
"insensitive prick!" – Danielle Algo
Oh wait, one song only. No I couldn't.
