Advantages: They are good songs! Disadvantages: You think they are bad songs probably!
ever begin I wonder?) I?d like to just say that this has been a very tricky little list to compile. I?m a massive listener to rock music in several of it forms so that threw up a huge pile of songs just begging to make into the all important top ten. I have been, throughout the course of compiling my list, just a little tempted to extend the number in my list to 11 or 12 or 150. But as the category is called the top ten I thought I better stick to just ten songs, tricky as it may have been. To make things just that little easier, although in some cases it made it harder, I?ve limited each band to just one song.
So here goes my list of the best rock songs ever??that will probably change every other day as I change my mind (which I tend to do a lot with music) or realise I?ve missed out a master piece.
10) ?Silverchair? ? ?Tomorrow ...

Advantages: Good music which shows Stevie Wonder?s different styles. Disadvantages: Differences of opinion about greatest hits.
When reviewing an album with ?greatest hits? in the title, by an artist who has used a variety of music styles in his long career, there is bound to be controversy about which tracks should be there. I don?t want to haggle about Stevie Wonder?s best tracks, so far, as I probably wouldn?t end up pleasing many of his fans, if any. (Some critics seem to think that if a song is commercially good, it probably isn?t musically good.) Instead, I want to tell you about the tracks on this album and let you decide whether it is worth buying.
One thing I am sure about is that there is no rubbish on this album. The tracks, to me, are either good or brilliant, therefore, I give the album 5 stars.
A wide range of music influenced Stevie as he grew up including Gospel, Jazz, Reggae, and Motown. All of these influences can be heard on ?A Song ...
Advantages: They're all amazingly great songs and always will be! Disadvantages: Might not be your style :o)
with a very fast rhythm and carries it on most of the way through the song. The song is very fast and effective and pays tribute to Dave Ellefsons fantastic guitar playing. Near the end of the song a simple but fantastic riff is played along with a great solo over and over again. This song pays tribute to Megadeth's greatness.
Andy's Rating - 9/10
9. Iron Maiden - The Evil That Men Do - 7th Son Of A 7th Son (1988)
The best Iron Maiden song of all time by far. You may have seen the live version on Kerrang! lately and its just as electrifying as the original. It's such a simple song structure but it works so well. The sound of Bruce Dickenson wailing out "The evil that men do lives on and on" gets you trying to do your best maiden impression. Maiden did so many good songs ...
