The single greatest rock song of all time (in your opinion)

[Nosferatu]

I have actually been working on posting a top 20 songs of all time thread, so far I have 8 songs, it is not easy to narrow it down to 20.

 

[Nosferatu]

This will also be in my top 20...

 

[Nosferatu]

[Cedrique]

It's really hard, but for me, it's gotta be this one. This song brings back so many memories of when me and @Used 2 B Hu first got married. He would come home late at night, make himself a martini and turn on the game, and I would lay awake upstairs and wait for him to come to bed. When he finally came up, I asked him where he had been and he freaked out and accused me of being a coke-addicted whore.

I found out many years later that he was doing blow and playing dress up with @Cedrique on those late nights out. He just projected his cheating and substance abuse behaviors onto me. I divorced him shortly after (well, we were never technically "married" back in those days) and moved on with my life as a confident, young gay man. But anytime that this song comes on the radio, I catch myself humming, then singing, then shouting and crying these lyrics:

"I hold you in my arms
As the band plays
What are those words whispered baby
Just as you turn away
I saw you last night
Out on the edge of town
I wanna read your mind
To know just what I've got in this new thing I've found

So tell me what I see
When I look in your eyes
Is that Huuuuuuuuuuuuu baby
Or just a brilliant disguise"

Why am I always mentioned in your most disturbing posts? And I'm not even referring to the homosexual fantasies. You know I've always said Darkness on the Edge of Town is a far superior album to Tunnel of Love. And I don't even consider Brilliant Disguise the best song on that album, much less greatest of all time.....

And obviously the song I consider GOAT is the one with the Female Heavy Metal lead singer. (I don't like to mention the title for copyright reasons)

Yoga's gonna go blind from beating off tonight.

This thread attempts to do the impossible. Post what you consider to be the greatest rock song of all time (in other words, the greatest song in the history of music). Only one song allowed, so choose wisely. No take-backs or "now that I think about it" posts.

I swear to Christ, if @yoga≈surfing comes in here and posts 30 fucking random songs, I'm going to triangulate his IP address, drive to California, and fuck him up so bad that he's gonna wish that he had never heard a rock song in his entire life.

say no more, OP. prepare to feel chills running from the top of your head to the bottom of your ass

Satisfaction, by the Rolling Stones.
