Agree to some extent - one song from each contributor here, really.
Possibly with the exception of the initiator, micwer... We simply do not seem to have the same kind of rock 'n' roll taste.
kait´s song I can more take to my heart as a whole; but I rather´d say "You Make Me Real" among the Doors catalogue...
Goldsmith says Lust For Life with Iggy; that Real Rock 'n' Roll. No shit.
Commenting DandelionPowderman finally there we have a magnificent collection of all-time great songs; "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You - Led Zeppelin" - smashing one. Outstanding. Rock? Yeah! Towards the end (The Dun-dun-dun-dun dun du! Dun-dun-dun-dun dun du!-part with the lyrics "Ba-a-by Ba-a-by Ba-a-by"(etc).

My suggestion: "God Save The Queen", "Belsen Was A Gas" and primarily "Anarchy in the U.K." SEX PISTOLS Being a retro-humanoid I must say U 2:s latest hit Vertigo is a real tough r&r-song. And remember: "Highway Star" with DEEP PURPLE.

Rock 'and' roll is a very narrow semantic for me. Quickly overshadowed by rock and pop. R&R is CB, LR, JLL....so

1) Jonny B Goode
2) It Came Out of the Sky (CCR live, possibly my favorite, if you can find more CB licks played faster please tell me)
3) Carol (especially watching Chuck telling Keith how he's blowing it)
4) Eagle Rock (Daddy Cool)
5) Back In The USSR
6) Rock and Roll (LZ)

I love many of the other posted songs but would put most in the rock semantic.
Thanks Hounddog for the Blue Sky refference...one of my all time favorite songs, you had to see that one live....wow.

mark,
yes Blue Sky is one of my favorites as well as In Memmory of Lizzie Reed. I got to see the Allmans play that before Dicky left the band, now they are not even like the Allmans anymore..

I forgot
Since I've Been Loving You, great Zeppelin blues..
