September 5, 201311 yr Author Not overly against the inclusion of Africa. Much like the aforementioned Manics 'Tolerate' it's not exactly Slayer but Toto are a Rock band so I'm not going to be too fussy unless there's a mass outcry.

September 15, 201311 yr Author I have more than enough nominations now so I'm putting the cut off for submissions at 11.59pm on Tuesday. Some of these 'Rock or not' decisions are giving me a real headache!
September 16, 201311 yr 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 Great list, hard to disagree with many of them. I havent the time to do my own list (though it would include more poppy rock Beatles, T.Rex, Bowie amongst others, if they are allowable) but I'd prob opt for lesser known tracks in some cases like Wishing Well (free), Cities In Dust (Siouxsie), Don't believe A Word (Lizzy), Tolerate This (manics), Fireball (Purple), Touch Too Much (AC/DC), Nice n Sleazy (Stranglers)
