The most rocking track ever?

Beatles - "Bad Boy"
Beatles - "Slow Down"
Howlin' Wolf - "Oh Red"
Rolling Stones - "Turd On the Run"
Jerry Lee Lewis - "Goosebumps"
MC5 - "The American Ruse"
Music Machine - "Talk Talk"

 

Deerhoof, "Halfrabbit Halfdog"

 

Foghat - Chateau Lafitte '59 Boogie

A great drinking song to boot.

 

Have to be something by Little Richard - Lucille, may be.

 

I consider McCartney's interpretation of Pete's comment as a song that constitutes a sonic assault. A few that come to mind:

Seven and Seven Is - Love
Camel in a Needle's Eye - Eno
Anarchy in the UK - Sex Pistols
White Light White Heat - Velvet Underground

 

Pink Faries - Do It

Humble Pie - Stone Cold Fever

Several Nirvana tracks also come to mind

 

Tough to top "Ace of Spades," and no one on this thread has done so yet. If the standard is "ferocious," it tops anything else posted thus far, including those songs I like a lot. Just blistering, face-melting power.

But I'd say this belongs in the conversation:

 

You betcha.

And I'll just add "We Are Motorhead", "Bomber" and practically every other one of their tracks that utterly bitchslaps anything else down.

Here's WAM from their 2000 25th Anniversary show in Brixton, London. Great gig, I was there and at the aftershow party at the Hard Rock later on. The band were great, the crowd at the venue were a bit meh, but that's London audiences for you.




Lemmy's not doing so well these days, his health's toiling and Motorhead cancelled a gig three songs in in Austin last night. That's on top of another cancellation I think in Salt Lake City last week and tours cancelled in Europe (twice) in the last 12-18 months. I love them dearly but it's time up I think. Enjoy a retirement Lemmy, your legacy is rich amongst your peers. And the world's a better place with him in it.

All that said though, Motorhead, in Glasgow in full flight at their peak? Nothing else matters as their proteges once sang.

Rockin in the Free World - Neil Young

 

I like this version...

 

The Who - Young Man Blues (Live At Leeds)
Mountain - Mississippi Queen (Climbing)
Johnny Winter - Johnny B. Goode (Live Johnny Winter And)

And of course, this:

 

Easy, Ten Years After's "I'm Going Home", Woodstock, '69.

 

I'd be inclined to agree if you are talking about the version on the Heavy Metal soundtrack.

 

Proof sh1t kicking rock'n'roll is being made well into the 21st century - 2009 (and in Sweden no less!)

 

You're talking about laying down some good hard driving rock and roll, here you go...

Foghat - My Babe and Wild Cherry
Mother's Finest, there's so many but the song Movin On will do it for you.
The Knack, that's right the Knack check out Rocket O Love from their hardest rocking album ever, Serious Fun!
I'll just say it like this, listen to Funkadelic, Cosmic Slop is an absolute Monster!

 

seven pages and no Zep!!!!

 

IMO, that's not even the best version of that song! It can't hold a candle to the great Eric Burdon.

 

Either 'for those about to rock' or '1812 overture', something with LIVE cannon-fire!!!

 

iggy and stooges....."search and destroy" from the Ypsilanti Michigan March 1973 rehearsal lp on get back records....utterly vicious

 

Some of my favorites:

• The Stooges - T.V. Eye
• Metallica - Free Speech for the Dumb

 

Search and Destroy by the Stooges
Slow Down by Blodwyn Pig
You Must Be A Witch by the Lollipop Shoppe
Surfside Date by The Triumphs
