Vote for Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen 1) Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

It’s daring, fun and doesn’t fall short of bravado. Simply genious.

Vote for Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin 2) Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

The poetic storytelling nature of Robert Plant’s lyrics combined with Jimmy Page’s brilliant musical composition places "Stairway To Heaven" as the number one rock song of all time. Mr. Page’s arrangement of a dramatic crescendo type development with the song passing through stages along the way lend to his (and John Paul Jones) influence by classical music. His guitar solo in this song is one of his greatest played with undeniable passion and ease. "Stairway To Heaven" is a legendary song composed and performed by the greatest rock musicians of all time, Led Zeppelin.

This is an incredible song! It’s so great that it’s becoming the theme song for my school’s prom. Led Zeppelin is like no other classic.

bit of a long post but gets to the point. LOVE THIS SONG!

Why isn’t this in the top 10? Kiedis’ lyrics of drug addiction are simply inspiring and frusciantes melody in beautiful. I don’t see why this isn’t in the top 10 and why can’t stop is ahead of it.

FunkyMonk

Holy Moses. This song inspires me to great heights. I never get tired of it and.. oh my gosh. Just speaking of it gives me goosebumps. This song should no question be in the top 10.

Dragonforce is the apex of guitar music. it’s physically impossible to play faster without simply snapping a guitar, yet they do it with coordination and speed making this song a masterpiece.

Vote for Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley 30) Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

Vote for Art of Life - X Japan 90) Art of Life - X Japan

The best song ever... ever exists!
With duration of almost 30 mins.. this song extending beyond genre is from a very famous legendary Japanese metal band, X Japan, which took 3 years for its completion by Yoshiki Hayashi, the leader of the band. The music is not just a music. it’s a life journey.. it’s very deep and intense. Definitely not for easy listening as it may cause a brain and emotion damage to the listeners. It’s just not simply a music.. It’s a god’s work.
