Greatest Rock & Roll Song - Ever

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.

The best thing about threads like this one is that someone is bound to remind you of a song you love but have somehow forgotten about. This one is killer! thanks hotreds

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.

Does Jimi get credit for this one or Bob Dylan for writing it and making the original recording?
