August 26, 201311 yr Author Far too much indie so far. I do agree it's really quite Indie-centric still. However, I don't want to be too harsh on it as I know it can be a fairly subjective issue. After all My Chemical Romance are to my mind a Rock group but given the number of times they've been bottled at Rock festivals not everyone would agree. I'd prefer to leave it to a group consensus as I'd rather not be too dictatorial and I have to confess I don't know every tune (particularly from Harve).
August 26, 201311 yr Author On to my list then. I have to say these aren't necessarily my favourites but who wants a list of obscure Killing Joke albums tracks etc. So I've cobbled together a list of tracks regareded as standards or classics from the fileds of Punk, Metal and Rock. Since some of my originla list have already been listed I had to drop a few and find replacements 01 Motorhead – Ace Of Spades 02 Sex Pistols – God Save The Queen 03 Led Zeppelin – Rock n Roll 04 Metallica – Enter Sandman 05 AC/DC – You Shook Me All Night Long 06 Guns N Roses – Welcome To The Jungle 07 The Clash – London Calling 08 Deep Purple – Smoke On The Water 09 Black Sabbath – Paranoid 10 Green Day – Basket Case 11 Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run 12 Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast 13 Faith No More – Epic 14 Ramones – Blitzkrieg Bop 15 Foo fighters – One By One 16 Jane’s Addiction – Been Caught Stealing 17 Slayer – Raining Blood 18 Pearl jam – Jeremy 19 Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun 20 Smashing Pumpkins – Bullet With Butterfly Wings 21 Nine Inch Nails – Head Like A Hole 22 Slipknot – Left Behind 23 Manic Street Preachers – Motorcycle Emptiness 24 Killing Joke - Eighties 25 The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again 26 Blue oyster Cult – Don’t Fear The reaper 27 Thin Lizzy – The Boys Are Back In Town 28 Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama 29 The Clash – Should I Stay Or Should I Go? 30 Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant 31 L7 – Pretend We’re Dead 32 Free – All Right Now 33 Dead Kennedys – Holiday In Cambodia 34 Siouxsie And The Banshees – Hong Kong Garden 35 The Stranglers – No more heroes 36 The Stooges – Search And Destroy 37 MC5 – Kick Out The Jams 38 The Undertones – Teenage Kicks 39 The Cult – She Sells Sanctuary 40 Pantera - Walk
August 26, 201311 yr Someone's gonna have to sound harsh and since that's usually my job I'll start. :D I wouldn't see very many Oasis songs as being rock and very few Beatles songs either. As much as I love the 90s Manics I wouldn't class If You Tolerate This as a rock song. I guess the guitars have to be fairly loud and abrasive for me to deem something as rock. I'm not even sure if my Placebo nominations should be included, now. Just because a band is a rock band, it doesn't mean everything they release is a rock song.

Always more Pop group to me. Oasis are on that fine line - Rock N Roll Star = probably, Wonderwall = no. Manics I've always considered a Rock group that diversify so I'm not to bothered but I do agree with your point so can happily drop it. Placebo... are ok in my book. More Rock than Indie to me.
August 26, 201311 yr You can discount any of my votes that you think may be 'indie', I do agree Oasis are probably more towards 'indie' and I only included If You Tolerate This because you said you were allowing Manics songs. I do think the majority fit into the category though, at least my perception of it.

I do think the majority fit into the category though, at least my perception of it. Feel free to do the same with my votes. I know "Good Riddance" for example may not really belong, I won't mind if anything is removed. Hopefully we're doing this for fun and not taking it too seriously. B-)

September 1, 201311 yr Ah bollocks, I forgot about Guano Apes and Apocalyptica! I don't think I can get rid of any of my 40, so hopefully the former can wiggle into the final list somehow.
September 2, 201311 yr Sorry chez. I didn't mean to pick on you in particular. :( Oh its ok! I was only explaining my reasoning for it.
September 2, 201311 yr Probably the last person that should be doing this but i felt the need to nominate/back up some of my real favourites that could fall under "rock" so hope this short list is ok: Led Zeppellin - Stairway To Heaven Led Zeppellin - Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love Led Zeppellin - Kashmir Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge Linkin Park - Numb Queen - Who Wants to Live Forever Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2 30 Seconds To Mars - Closer to the Edge The Beatles - Let It Be The Beatles - Hey Jude Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army Apologies for it being so basic/limited.
