It all depends on the day.

Led Zeppelin, Rock and Roll?
The Who, Won't Get Fooled Again?
Golden Earring, Twilight Zone?
Pink Floyd, Run Like Hell
Stones, Monkey Man?
Neil Young, Powderfinger?
James Gang, Funk 49?
Allmans, Whippin' Post?
Bowie, Heroes?

There is no "Best" but there sure are a lot of "Killer"

Yes - just one. Thought it would be more of a challenge for everyone.....hope that's OK (?)

And people on another thread are thinking that The Beatles wrote all the good songs!

Sympathy for the Devil.

But the Stones got one key lyric wrong.

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Should have been

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
I was center stage

Someday I'll let them know.

But really, nothing compares to The Friends of Mr. Cairo.

Elton John, Funeral for a Friend…

Live, back in the day, when he used to open a show with it, and the house lights were off.

*you mean one per post, right Baz?

Well, without the Beatles there may not be any Rock n Roll. So I'll stick with them, A Day in the Life/Strawberry Fields/Across the Universe pick one, all complex songs, copied but never duplicated. Hard to come up with a wrong answer really, Gimme Shelter/Stairway to Heaven/Purple Haze would be high on my list also.
