I want to put together a couple of party tapes One of which I want to be made up of all ROCK anthems.

As an example:

Queen: We are the Champions

Rolling Stones: Satisfaction

The WHO; My Generation

Joan Jett and the Black Hearts: I LOVE ROCK & ROLL

SO Now it's your turn give me one or a dozen. When I get a nice pile I'll sort them down and make up some CD's and a R2R tape.

Thanks.

Airplane, Volunteers
MC5, Kick out the Jam's
Hendrix, If 6 were 9

Rock N' roll all night - Kiss
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
London Calling - The Clash
Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf
Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) - Neil Young
Louie Louie - The Kingsmen

Queen~We will rock you
Led Zeppelin~Black Dog
AC/DC~Back in Black
Sabbath~Iron Man
B.O.C~Don't Fear the Reaper

Oh I guess you guys were working bassackwards or just leaving #1 one for Elco?

BABA Friggin O'REILY already.

Don't know if these are anthems, But there always requested at our parties:

Pearl Jam--Even Flow
Van Halen--Panama
Judas Priest--You Got Another Thing Comin
Boston--Rock N Roll Band
I Can't Drive 55--Sammy Hagar
AC/DC--Whole Lotta Rosy(Or take your pick)

Won't Get Fooled Again
All the Young Dudes :-)

Tough to leave Won't get fooled again out, and even though Led Zeppelin has many excellent candidates for this, you have to include Stairway to heaven.

Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like I Do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_You_Feel_Like_We_Do

WOW guys keep them coming

Lot's of good songs here but not many 'anthems'. My definition of an anthem is a song you can stand and belt out at the top of your lungs with others in public while sober. A rock anthem let's one also play air guitar.

Now that that's cleared up how about some more rock anthems?

Rolling Stones - Salt of the Earth?

not that i ever cared that much for some of these.
bad to the bone.
bad company
cocaine
walk this way
revolution
pride and joy
smoke on the water
billie jean

Alice Cooper- Schools Out (for summer) :not sure if that's the title but you know the one:yes:
Black Oak Arkansas-Jim Dandy
Foghat-Slow Ride
Ten Years After-I'm Going Home :thmbsp:
Mountain- Mississippi Queen
Bachman Turner Overdrive-Taking Care of Business
Joe Walsh-Life's Been Good

The Bottle Rockets' "$1000 Car" has always been a personal anthem for me.

Twisted Sister -- We're Not Gonna Take It

Lynyrd Skynyrd -- Freebird!!

Bruce Springsteen -- Born in the USA

Grateful Dead -- Truckin'

Thin Lizzy -- The Boys Are Back in Town

The rock styling of the band Foreigner comes to mind.

Deep Purple - Black Night
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Rose Tattoo - Nice Boys

And I can't believe nobody brought up Lynyrd Skynyrd -- Freebird!!



That was my pick. Freebird is the best rock anthem ever! :thmbsp:

J. Giles Band Live - Musta Got Lost (with the intro.)


Hold on this song has a little introduction to it

It aint supposed to be sad though you might feel it that way
It's a song about desperation, every now and then we do get desperate

This is a song about L-O-V-E, and if you abuse it yer goin to lose it and if you lose it yer goin to abuse and if you abuse it you aint going to be able to choose it cuz you aint going to have it further on down the line and things aint going to be so fine and yer going to be sitting there on your little machine tryin to look and keep it clean and your going to be home playing bingo all night all alone and that's why your sittin there by the telephone and you know that she aint goin to call you!

So you put on the TV and you're watchin Johhny Carson seguaying right into the Tomorrow show but that don't got the go so you turn it off ya turn on the radio - the radio dont' seem to get the click so you say "Hey Man, I can't lickety split" so you open up your little book but there's somethin there you got to overlook and you say "BABY, you know there's somethin on my mind!" You say "Baby there's somethin on my mind - I know that you're home and I know you're aint all alone! "

So you start walking over to her house and you get over to her house and you walk over to her door and you start poundin on her door and you say "Open up the door bitch! This is umma gumma with the green teeth, let me in!!"

Well, she opens up the door and then you just kinda walk up to her and say "Baby", (say Baby!) you look up way up at her green mascara and you say "Oh my darling, you know her and me were at the party only as friends - do not believe what they say that's only gossip that they tellin ya - a wise crack of lies!"

Take your big curls and squeeze them down Rotunda - What's the name of the chick with the long hair? (Rapunzle!) Hey Rapunzle! (Raputa!) Raputa the Buta! Flipping down your hair let me climb up the ladder of your love!! Because this is umma gumma sayin to ya "Love comes once and when it comes you gotta grab it fast cuz sometimes the love you grab aint goina last and I belive I musta, oh baby I think I musta...I musta got lost!!)

WOW I can make a whole library of mix tapes now.

Be careful what you ask for; you just might get it. :D This thread does include an amazing collection of rock anthems, or what like to call them - turn it up! songs. They're the kind of songs that, when they come up on the car radio, you gotta turn it up. If I tried to respond to each post that mentioned a great song, I would be a certifiable post whore.

Regards,

D-Ray
