OT: Your All-Time Favorite Rock "Anthems"

[Waquoit]

... in case you wondered who gave Styx first LP their first airplay, now you know.

So it's your fault?

 

[BigBird]

So it's your fault?

Um. Yeah, I guess so.

 

[Intpseeker]

So many songs...



and



and

Crosby, Stills & Nash - Suite Judy Blue Eyes

 

[Intpseeker]

If you're doing Out of the Blue, than you gotta do

I have 47 ... or 74. But this has energy:

An insignificant quiz...This actress appears in the first few seconds on a TV screen saying, "you have 5 minutes". She was the lead in a three year stint called ROSWELL, and has worked continuously in movies and TV since.

Wore this one out on my first stereo record player...a premium for joining the Columbia Record Club.

10. Paint it Black, Rolling Stones (drum along, and at the bridge, just try to re-enter on the same beat as Charlie Watts does. You won't.)

8. Piano Concerto #1, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (just.plain.awesome.)

 

[Replicant]

Rocking it, Old School!!!

Hail, hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feelin' is there, body and soul.

Katherine Heigl

 

[meyers7]

Can't believe no other mentions of AC/DC -

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
T.N.T.
It's A Long Way to the Top....
Thunderstruck
Highway to Hell
You Shook Me All Night Long
Etc, etc

Ok. (gotta give us a little time to find the stuff)

 

[meyers7]

A great song with the Edge's iconic intro

 

[wire chief]

Katherine Heigl

right church. wrong pew

 

[wallman]

Meatloaf, Bat out of Hell. You can sing it and eat it

 

[Wally East]

I suppose I should've actually watched the video

Shiri Appleby.

 

[CCinCT]

Meatloaf, Bat out of Hell. You can sing it and eat it

Very hot, though............

Good one Meyers - It's on my "Family Jewels" DVD set. When my wife is not home I can make the little knick-knacks on the mantle dance !

 

[JRRRJ]

Can't find one with the original cast (Leslie West, Felix Pappalardi, Corky Laing) that has a decent sound track, so you get West & Peter Frampton with anonymous backups.
This isn't an anthem, but a concert at the Fillmore East in the very early 70's was my first appreciation of make-your-ears-bleed heavy rock.
And Mr. West is a helluva guitarist, which unfortunately didn't show on his studio recordings.

Oh, the music starts at 1:25, but I don't know how to set the playback start there.

10. Paint it Black, Rolling Stones (drum along, and at the bridge, just try to re-enter on the same beat as Charlie Watts does. You won't.)

9. The Story In Your Eyes, Moody Blues (is it thinly veiled "Jesus Rock?" Could be.)

8. Piano Concerto #1, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (just.plain.awesome.)

7. Once or Twice, Chicago (loved to crank it up on my Bose 901 II's. It just rips)

6. Manhole, Grace Slick (ironically, the best thing Slick ever did was a never-shot film score that was the least heard; today, the vinyl LP is a collector's item)

5. Tobacco Road, Blues Magoos (with Ralph Scala's keyboard work, it was wild and cool at the same time)

4. Soul Sacrifice, Santana (Carlos was and still is a great talent, a unique sound then and now)

3. Layla/fast version, Derek and the Dominoes (so classic, and so classy-unless you know the back story. Hint: Layla was a real person.

2. The Whistler, Jethro Tull (Ian Andersen tops even himself with a rockin' penny whistle)

1. Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who (Keith Moon's drumming is just unreal, as is Entwhistle's clean and fast bass run. The Who was way ahead of their time. Way ahead.

Your #1 and mine are the same.

Meatloaf, Bat out of Hell. You can sing it and eat it

I quote Mr. Loaf quite often: "Two out of three ain't bad."

 

[MilfordHusky]

That's well done, but it's too bad that they are not on the same stage. I guess that's what having artistic differences does.

Here's "Comfortably Numb" plus three others as a bonus with Waters and Gilmour together (before Richard Wright died). As the fan's sign reads, "Pigs Have Flown."

 

[USFMB]

Rock Around The Clock was the first song that came to my mind as being THE Rock Anthem, way back when.

 

[USFMB]

American Pie was THE Rock Anthem from that time.

 

[USFMB]

Jose Feliciano took a lot of heat for his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner in 1968. It still remains my favorite Rock Anthem.

[BigBird]

I am going to add another to my list. Guitar lead is classic.
