"No other pop song has so thoroughly challenged and transformed the commercial laws and artistic conventions of its time, for all time," wrote Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke in an article accompanying the magazine's list of the top 500 rock songs of all time.

Bob Dylan is about as musical as a train wreck and this song in particular gives me an earache. "Stardust" indeed.

I believe Rolling Stone magazine was named after the song.

"No way. The best rock and roll song of all time is "Fred Bear" by the great Ted Nugent, off his 1995 album Spirit of the Wild!"
"Whole Lotta Shakin'", by The Killer.

Yes! Meat Loaf deserves a spot there.
Plus, rumor has it Meat's a Republican.

Great? Oh, come now.
Dylan's nasal twanging and meandering focus are really more stream-of-consciousness ramblings than music. Yeah, he's an unusual guy but hardly worthy of greatness.
Awesome, dude! Great! I love you, man!
Jeez Lou-EEZ.

I also have to mention Uriah Heep and easy Livin.

Led Zeppelin's Stairway to heaven is overall accepted as the greatest rock and roll song of all time; it seems to have been the more requested songs on radio stations in the United States ever..

Better leave this thread before the Foreigner contingent shows up.

At least a Springsteen song wasn't chosen top of the list.

Think I'll stick with jazz

Yeah, I dig Jerry Lee. A guilty pleasure, perhaps since he's 30 years before my time!

Poor Springsteen, he can't seem to win anything. "No Surrender" there, Boss!

Yet, Plant has always given the nod to "Kashmir" as his top Zep selection. Stairway is much better live than the recorded version. Kashmir gets my vote, too, mainly because Bonham's ferocity comes across in distinctive style.

I like Foreigner! Especially "Hot Blooded." I also did a semi-drunken karaoke rendition of "I Want to Know What Love Is" in college...I guess I sounded pretty good!

LOL!!! All of his listenable songs (maybe 6 or 7) are cheap Dylan knockoffs anyway.

I'd opt for "The Anaheim, Azusa, and Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review and Timing Association."

I'd have to agree on "Kashmir."

I always thought "Mr. Lee" by The Bobbettes was nice.
