Give us your thoughts on what the best rock anthem is for you; is it Long Live Rock & Roll or Rock & Roll Ain't Noise Pollution? Rock the Nations or Rock & Roll's Gonna Save The World? You choose, but also tell us why you think your favourite rock anthem is the best! (oh and when you tell us you get entered into the draw to win this 5CD boxset at the end of April!)
As you say a difficult one as so many. Rock 'n' Roll by Zep is up there with the best IMHO. Throw Down The Sword by Wishbone Ash - can still hear those awesome guitars duelling it out on that hilltop at the Matlock Festival at 4 in the morning, all them years ago. (1971 or 72?) .
I can't pick one as I have too many favourite rock anthems. Amongst my favourites are Johnny Be Good by Chuck Berry, You Really Got Me by The Kinks, Rock 'N' Roll by Led Zeppelin, Hell Bent For Leather by Judas Priest, Blood On Blood by Bon Jovi, Hunger Strike by Temple Of The Dog, Egypt - The cover version by Doro, The Red And The Black by Iron Maiden.
Dont stop Believing is one for me as was played at the Final Fire Fest in Nottingham and was awesome is on youtube :-)
I have so many rock anthems- I always start my show on Wednesdays with two for example- this one is hard. I love two little known songs, Rock is the Word by MaineeAxe and Rock! Rock! by Baby Tuckoo, two local bands no longer with us. Overall I would have to say Rainbow's Long Live Rock & Roll is probably the one that encapsulates what I feel about rock the best, so let's go with that one. For this week lol.
