Members golias Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Everyone who said "Back in Black" is extremely wrong. Not only is it NOT the penultimate rock song, it's not even the best example you could give by AC/DC. That would be "Highway to Hell." Put me squarely in the crowd that says "Johnny B. Goode" is the correct answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundcreation Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 Everyone who said ACDC is correct. People here are posting bands that are combination of other styles with rock, like the stooges rock/punk or zep blues/rock and on and on... And the reason chuck berry isn't the best pick is because it's too early. ACDC is the middle "rock" ground for everything. Not too heavy, not too soft, not "blended" with any other style, and not too old or to young. They are by FAR the winners. And most of their songs fit the criteria.

Members bsman Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 OK, let's settle this for once and for all: Don't gimme none o' that overseas imitation rock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimtalkbox Posted June 4, 2010 Members Share Posted June 4, 2010 That's funny. My initial thoughts were "Johnny B. Goode" and the Stones' "Brown Sugar". Maybe Zep's "Over the Hills & Far Away"? I like the mention of "Blitzkrieg Bop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members headless Posted June 5, 2010 Members Share Posted June 5, 2010 Johnny B. Goode is probably the correct answer. Seventh piece from the top: http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/music.html Does anyone else remember the SNL news skit about Earth having finally received an message from a far-off planet, in response to the Voyager mission record. The message read: "Send more Chuck Berry." Without the the Tango, "Por Una Cabeza", that Voyager just isn't complete: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBHhSVJ_S6A&feature=related (Bad movie, great Tango) Perhaps we should make our own "Voyager-List" part duex.

Members KidEh Posted June 5, 2010 Members Share Posted June 5, 2010 Pavement. Maybe Rattled by the Rush. Then they'd hear every other rock band, get bored and leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Muddslide Posted June 5, 2010 Members Share Posted June 5, 2010 People here are posting bands that are combination of other styles with rock, like the stooges rock/punk. That album came out in 1970 when punk meant a straight guy who'd give a blow job to another guy for dope or money or for protection in prison. I like AC/DC. Some of their stuff I like quite a bit. But The Stooges rocked so much harder and with so much more abandon than AC/DC and were doing it several years earlier. I'd say AC/DC has more blues in their rock (at least when Bon was around) while Stooges were more unadulterated if anything. And considerably more crazed. I think we can agree, though, that both bands bring the rock. I just personally feel that few bands or albums surpass Fun House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted June 5, 2010 Members Share Posted June 5, 2010 Something I,IV,V and based heavily on 1950's R&B would be the closest thing to defining rock-and-roll musically. These days "rock and roll" has pretty much become defined as pop music with lots of electronic instrumentation and a heavy emphasis on a drum beat.The actual music doesn't play much roll in defining it. A song like "Stairway to Heaven" which is considered "classic rock" really doesn't fit into the definitionof "rock and roll" in a musical sense. It starts out more like an English folk ballad.
