Blue On Black - Kenny Wayne Shepherd (plus I saw him perform this!)

So did I! There's a number of his songs that are just dynamite! His show was amazing! One of the few I've ever wanted to get up and dance...and believe me, that is something NO ONE wants to see happen...

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

Black Sabbath - Supernaut

Tool - Parabola

Led Zeppelin - Dazed and Confused

Dio - Rainbow in the Dark

If you listen to Rock music please list your favorite songs and yes please list more than one.

Not trying to break the character limit here, so just a few favourites from the top of my head:
Child in time - Deep Purple (and about anything else what Mark II did)
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen (and anything else that didn't go too far into pop)
Kashmir - Led Zeppelin (mixed bag, like queen, hits and misses, about half of their work is excellent)
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd (yes that's an album, not a song, but it's a concept album, so, a total work of art, as are all albums before The Wall)
Sympathy for the Devil - Stones (and so many more, though my favourite album is more blues than rock - Beggar's Banquet)
Shadow Play - Rory Gallagher (another one I love for his blues as much as the rock)
Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf (just eeking out Bat out of Hell and others)
Gates of Babylon - Rainbow (Ritchie in the man, with Purple or Rainbow)
Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (and not only because of Kingsman)
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival (also, like the above, a top out of a selection of top performances)

10 Songs from 10 Bands who had each at least 10 songs, which could make it into a top 10 rock songs of all times. I omitted one-hit-wonders, not-strictly rock, and leaned more on hard rock than traditional. And I didn't even reach the '80s.

Shadow Play - Rory Gallagher (another one I love for his blues as much as the rock)

Don't come across many Rory fans these days. Great player. There's good footage of him jamming with Jack Bruce on yt.

KMFDM

Soul Coughing

Steve Earle

 

[ChristineM]

Doors, People are strange, the end
Cream, White room
Hendrix, Star spangled banner, Purple haze.
the James Gang, Ashes the rain and I, Th bomber
Jefferson Airplane, White rabbit, Somebody to love
Hawkwind, PSI power, Silver machine
CCR. Bad moon rising

Just a few, In fact most of the rock/progressive music of the late 60s early 70s and beyond.

 

[ChristineM]

Some more.

Strawbs, witchwood, the hangman and the papist.
Grateful dead, touch of grey
The Who, Baba O'Riley, Behind blue eyes, A quick one...
Jethro Tull, thick as a brick, living in tje past
Blue oyster cult, the reaper

Also favourites of mine which didn't make the cut because I don't know if they are strictly speaking rock - or I simply didn't think of them before the count reached 10.

Thanks, it's running in the background now.
Rory may not be as well known as Eric, Gary or Steve Ray but by talent, he's playing in the same league.
