"Hey Jude": The greatest rock 'n' roll song ever ????

[Mr. Met]

I was listening to the Beatles "1" album and trying to think of a rock song more masterful than this. I'm sure it's debatable.

During the rehearsal, George Harrison made a good point that the song can be spun into any genre.

I rarely have a "best song ever" in any music. But this is unique.

BTW, cute kid.

Man, it's not even the best Beatles song.


Bob Dylan & Jimi Hendrix?

You can't lose.

Queen- Boheim Rhapsody

GTFOH nigga.

Queen- Boheim Rhapsody

I've been a Queen fan since I was a kid (I'll watch "Flash Gordon" over and over just because of the soundtrack) but I've never been big on this song. I think "Wayne's World" fucked it up for me.

I only came in this thread because I thought the song in question was "Hey Joe" by Jimi, a song I like better.

this the best rock song

boy bands?

boy bands?

I gotta admit that when I think of Rock 'N' Roll, "Hey Jude" is nowhere in sight.

Some women can get it.

i like "A Day in the Life" by the beatles , and 'Yesterday' better then hey jude, but hey jude is a great song though...

if the song was rereleased today, it wouldn't be categorized into rock and roll, probably alternative indie maybe ionno.

When you said Hey Jude, I thought of Clarence Wheeler and the Enforcers.

 

[Blunt]

EXCELLENT cover version and a Top 30 hit itself in 1969.

"Hey Jude" - Wilson Pickett (with a Duane Allman guitar solo)






Wilson Pickett doing "Hey Jude" with the BeeGees on The Midnight Special, 1970s.

 

[HAR125LEM]

.........OH FUCK IT!!!

I'm not even going to bother.

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

so i assume no one going to get The Beatles:Rock Band when it drops LOL

 

[Blunt]

this the best rock song

Certainly the best hard rock song.

But this is the one that really started it all, and remains the best and most important. It DEFINED the very concept of rock 'n' roll.

What about the song Eric Clapton dedicated to Paul McCartney's ex? I saw on Clapton's bio on A&E that it was considered one of (if not) the greatest rock song ever. Me personally I thought it was pretty good, but not the greatest:

You're talking about Harrison's ex, Patti Boyd. She was also the inspiration behind Clapton's, Bell Bottom Blues and Wonderful Tonight as well as Harrison's, Something.

Wow, a greatest rock 'n roll song ever thread and not 1 original Black song offered?

I know it's more metal but it's the first song that came to mine.


Watchtower and Stairway to heaven is neck in neck for me.

Dude, the Hendrix version of "All Along The Watchtower" sounds NOTHING like Bob Dylan's version, so it's kind of an original.

What's important is that Jimi's a brotha, and the greatest to ever pick up a guitar.

That's cuz it wasn't a general argument. I specified "Hey Jude" and said it's debatable.

You may be able to make more of a case for the song on the B side of this record.
