[jd58]

free bird or stairway to heaven

the long version on both

 

[WildHeart]

Totally Agree With J.D.

 

[ticklishscribe]

Blue Suede Shoes, sung by Carl Perkins. Now that's an anthem.

 

[luvgirlsfeet]

We Are The Champions..Queen

 

[tickleshotel]

I love stairway to heaven and freebird too but I also think " we're not going to take it " by twisted sister is good too though not as old as Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd skynrd

 

[luvgirlsfeet]

Bohiemian Rhapsody...Queen

 

[slacker2114]

Rock anthems eh? hmmmm....

Comfortably Numb from Pink Floyd

Back in Black from AC/DC

Dream On from Aerosmith

 

[tkrexx]

Southern Rock Anthem...

Possibly the most underrated anthem of the modern era, Fall of the Peacemaker - Molly Hatchet.

 

[tickleterror]

Bohiemian Rhapsody...Queen

I totaly agree and knew it would be here somewhere, only just noticed this thread cant believe i missed it.

 

[maniactickler]

I think stairway to heaven is overrated. i prefer achilles last stand by zep.

 

[kered]

Layla..........Eric Clapton

 

[FlockOfSeagulls]

Rock of Ages....Def Leppard

 

[Mr.Tickler]

Hard to say,for me. But I can think of 5 of my favs right off the bat,here:


1 Talk to ya Later (The Tubes),

2 Learning to Fly (Pink Floyd)

3 No More Tears (The Oz Man)

4 Animal (Def Leppard)

5 Hello Again (he Cars)

 

[Mislaffsalot]

Hmmm, I like "Let It Be" by the Beatles.

 

[tickleterror]

Number of the beast by Iron Maiden is also amazing.

 

[tkrexx]

My Sharona - The Knack

 

[slacker2114]

Here's a lesser known song, but an anthem (in my opinion) nonetheless...

It's a Long Way by AC/DC

 

[maniactickler]

My Sharona - The Knack

Your kidding right?

 

[tickleterror]

Enter Sandman - Metallica

 

[Mislaffsalot]

I also like "We Will Rock You" by Queen.

 

[tkrexx]

My Sharona - The Knack... Your kidding right?

Ohhh, why don't you go pass gas and ignite it??? Tastes may vary, but that tune was kickin' my (And many others') ass and kickin' it hard back in '80. And it has all the hallmarks of an anthem: Twice as long as most top 40 tunes, the "Song in the Middle" (Or in alot of cases. the end), played on almost every radio station for what seemed like ages, and enjoyed a brief comeback as part of the soundtrack to a recent movie or 2. Yeah, it might've been a fluke, but I still crank it when I hear it.

Oh, and in keeping with the thread subject:
Inna Gotta Davida, Baby!!!
Iron Butterfly!

 

[AmishTickler]

Kiss - Rock & Roll All Nite

 

[Bohemianne]

Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry

Voodoo child - Jimi Hendrix
