This for a very specific reason. This song brings me back to the week after HS graduation at the NJ shore. At twilight, the top down on my Jeep. I can smell the food on the boardwalk. I remember the people coming off the beach.

32 years later, I bought another Wrangler and it was the first song that played on the radio when I drove the new to me Jeep home.

Way before my time, but to me this song is the epitome of Rock & Roll. Impossible to still still whenever I hear that beat.

A good assortment thus far - well done all!

Clearly, there are many to choose from.....and there's apparently no such thing as a consensus "best"!

BTW.....after all is said and done, I'm sure I will still have dozens more not even mentioned here that would qualify..... :)

Tough to beat this one if we're talking 70's style. Not a lot big rock from that era had quite the funk of this tune.

I'd probably have a Zep tune in the running as well.

Expanding from there you'd have to consider Master of Puppets.

Out on the road for forty days
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie, doin' her act
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact
Up all night with Freddie King
I got to tell you, poker's his thing
Booze and ladies, keep me right
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

We're an American band

The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar.

and

Joan Jett - I Love Rock 'N Roll

Too many great songs to be the greatest rock ‘n’ roll single.

First, that was never a single.

But this was...

Sisters of Mercy - Gimme Shelter

Change the chorus around a bit and its a whole new song...

B side of the Temple of Love 12 inch single.

Evans, Marv 04-11-2023 08:34 PM

Thunderstruck !!

HobieMarty 04-11-2023 08:41 PM

Deep Purple, Highway Star!!!

I'd hate to clog up this thread with videos. But this seals the deal.

I'm Your Captain (Closer To Home) - Grand Funk Railroad.....

Way too many to pick from.... but narrowed it down to....

Mandy.... or Muskrat Luv.

NY65912 04-12-2023 02:59 AM

It is a totally subjective choice to pick one.

But.....

I 'll stick with Stairway and or Rock and Roll because I am and always shall be a Zep guy.

IROC 04-12-2023 03:17 AM

I'm getting chills with some of these suggestions... Can't pick one, but some honorable mentions:

Don't Fear the Reaper
Barracuda
Whiskey in the Jar (Metallica version)
Riff Raff (AC/DC)

jcommin 04-12-2023 03:24 AM

All good choices:

Street Fighting Man - Stones
