100 GREATEST ROCK SONGS &  50 GREATEST ALBUMS

 

100 GREATEST ROCK SONGS

Here is a list of my favorite rock songs. Sorry but I can't pick a single number one favorite song. I equally love all three songs that I have listed for number one. Not only that, but the first 30+ or so songs on this list, to me, are all just as great as the number ones that I picked. There are so many other songs that didn't make this list that I also love. Should have done a top 200, but I had to stop somehwhere!
