Hell, let's do it: GT's Greatest Rock n' Roll.. Songs List

[Stonecutter]

Well, with all the bitching and the generally good discussion in the other thread, I'm going to complile the GT's Greatest songs.

We're going to need a lot of votes to complile a good 100 songs, so I'm not calling this the "100 greatest" it's just going to be a list of songs.

Here's the rules.

1)Since we're not going to get several hundred posts, we're going to need to go with a point system to get a definatve list.

2)15 songs max. Post any number you like, so long as it's not a number that's greater than 15. RANK THEM. #1will get 15 points #2 gets 14, etc.

3) They have to be rock and roll songs. I'm the final say on it and if I say it's not a Rock song it's getting tossed. Don't worry, as long as you use your brains I won't be too tough.

EDIT 4) Please use the following format

Song title - Artist

I'll post my list a little later, for now I need to set up my spreadsheet.

btw: These don't have to be what you consider to be "great" or "influential" it can be your favorite songs.

EDIT: this is like my fifth edit in 15 minutes

Feel free to list as many "Honorable mentions" they wont get scored but if you want to give a song some props, be my guest.

EDIT: Another thing. When I see your list, that's what's going to get counted. Once it's counted, you're done, I'm not making any changes and I'm not going to check if you've been editng your lists.

[DeathsHand]

I really suck at ranking things... So I'll just think of songs I really like and try to rank them as best I can...

1. Smashing Pumpkins - Dross

4. White Stripes - Broken Bricks

12: White Stripes - Bound to Pack it up
13: White Stripes - Little Bird
14: White Stripes - Truth Doesn't make a Noise
15: Dir en Grey - Cage

I like how my list only contains 4 different bands... But that's how I get... a few bands I just can't get enough of, and a number of other bands I like as well (Nirvana, Zwan, Orgy... Queens of the Stoneage and Placebo seem neat... Along with countless other bands I've heard my friends listening to but I've been too lazy to look into... But I don't have much money and I hate just downloading a ton of MP3s... So I rarely look into new bands)... Yep...

I bet nobody else here will pick any of the songs on my list :p

I thought Bob Dylan wrote that originally.. Unless there is an Eric Clapton version that you like better... So many people have sang that song, Guns and Roses, Avril Lavigne, Bon Jovi.. the list goes on.


And yes, my list does own you, Blade Runner.

Bob Dylan did the origional, eric clapton did one of the many, many, many covers.

And yes, Joeiss' list is quite good, though I think mine is better.

Spirit of the radio was a great choice for a rush song but....
