What is the greatest Rock and Roll song of all time?

[Heston]

Not giving it much thought and def not a huge Prince fan, but top 10 Prince songs:
1. Purple Rain
2. Little Red Corvette
3. I Wanna Be Your Lover
4. Diamonds and Pearls
5. Kiss
6. Let's Go Crazy
7. I Would Die 4 U
8. When You Were Mine
9. 1999
10. I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man

10-20 would get Cream, 7, Raspberry Beret, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?, Uptown in some form.

I hate Purple Rain. It's up there with Heroes by Bowie as a massively overrated "classic."

[Dr. Medulla]

Wow. A very rare moment where you and I are in complete agreement (on both songs). I shall join you in a meal of sealed pancakes and super noodles!

Here's a 16 minute version that will surely change your mind:

(very much kidding, though I think it's great)

It's a bloated monster ballad with a kick ass solo and a terrific outro. Love it.

I do not like Prince.

and the Ramones. You are something else, that's for sure.

I listen to the Ramones about once a year. Prince, never.

Don't forget Bad Religion too, you hate them.

Did I say that? It doesn't sound like me unless I was winding someone up. I do think their stuff sounds pretty samey, but I like them anyway. Another about "once a year" listen. Although No Control can sometimes get more than one per year.

edit: to clarify, I don't actually hate the Ramones, I just think they're too samey and I can't do it more than once a year. The big to-do around that many years ago was just because certain people were being aggressive both here and on FB and I wanted to fuck with them.

I thought you, like Flex preferred Pennywise.

This is just bouncing off your reference, but I honestly can't think of a monster ballad that does anything for me.

I guess I don't mind them, but they are definitely the beige of punk.

I don't like Bad Religion either. The Ramones are over rated (but not bad). Live Ramones sound better than their albums, they play too slow on their albums!

Prince isn't in a genre I listen to so no comment.
