Hmmm...starting to look like a Queen nut now, but it defines rock to me!
9. Brighton Rock by Queen
Attitude....love the solo, love the album.
8. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
Such a laid-back, pretty song which soon gets heavier without realising it.. Amazing...again the song flows into one big masterpiece.
7. Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd
The ultimate 'lets get stoned' album....defines Floyd and 'music'.
6. More Than A Feeling by Boston
Sorry...but it's just such a pretty, happy song....cool guitar riff.
5. White Queen by Queen
One of my fav Queen songs from their best album...Flows perfectly...listen to the layers, and the guitar solo, beautiful.
4. Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin
Being a drummer....just....wow.
3. Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd
The guitar is just breathtaking!
2. Time by Pink Floyd
Everything about this song is right - drums, guitar, bass - everything. The intro was spectacular considering the way it was done.
1. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
I can't believe no one has choosen this one yet! This is truly a masterpiece.

10. Renegade by Styx
I hate dancing, but I dance when I hear this.

ROCKIN!
8. Peace Frogs by The Doors
Very pleasing song.
7. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
You'd have to be living under a rock to not have heard this tune, and you'd have to be on crack to dislike it. Wayne's World made this song as famous as it is today, and even without Wayne's World, this song is great in every aspect.

One of many amazing Pink Floyd tunes, everything about this song is just so great.
5. Highway Star by Deep Purple

Another Zeppelin masterpeice. This song is pretty underrated, too.

Such a well put together song. This song blows Sweet 'Home Alabama' out of the water any day of the week.
1. Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin
It simply gives me goosebumps whenever I hear it. Such a masterpeice, and clearly the greatest song ever recorded.
