The most rocking track ever?

What's the absolute rockingest track ever in your opinion?

By this I mean: what song is so musically ferocious that it draws the most blood so to speak? And its ferociousness comes not from studio trickery or just simply turning up the volume or just playing faster (though, of course, the track can be loud & fast) but rather purely from the players and the track itself. I got the idea for this thread from listening to a Paul McCartney interview where he talked about how he came up with "Helter Skelter". McCartney said he had read a quote from Pete Townsend of The Who where Townsend told the reporter that The Who had just outdone everyone and recorded the most viciously rocking track any band had ever recorded ("I Can See For Miles" turned out to be the Who song in question). So McCartney decided to set out and top whatever The Who had just done and he wrote (and recorded with The Beatles) "Helter Skelter". And yes feel free to choose "Helter Skelter" as it is a great example of what I'm looking for in this thread.

Here are two that I choose:

"I Got a Right" - Iggy Pop & The Stooges


&

"Who Do You Love" - Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks (i.e. The Band)

Foo Fighters. The Pretender.

 

Absolutely great, demented version.

 

Clearly:



The Ace Of Spades - breaking leases ( and eardrums ) since 1980.

D.D.

 

I was going to pick this one, too! I agree, but since you chose it, I submit AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock".

 

Trashed
Sabbath

 

Haven't heard this cover before.... HOT DAMN!

D.D.

 

Yeah, it smokes. It's from Get Some Go Again which was one of the albums Rollins did with Mother Superior as his backing band. The original tune was a contender for this thread for me. Great choice.

 

Jesus Built My Hotrod

 

No,no,no, "Bridge Burning".

 

Love this song! Always makes my ears bleed if I'm listening with headphones.

 

Get Some Go Again is a great name for an album ! Hearing that Rollins cover reminded me of playing that song and Don't Believe A Word in bar bands in the '80's. And every other Thin Lizzy song I could talk people into playing.


D.D.

 

Something by the Sonics, maybe "Cinderella".

 

AC/DC could win this thread with any number of songs.

Shake Your Foundations
Hells Bells
High Voltage
Let There Be Rock
Go Down
Riff Raff
Whole Lotta Rosie
If You Want Blood
Dirty Deeds.....
Jailbreak
Flick Of The Switch
That's The Way I Wanna Rock and Roll

etc. etc. etc.

 

No Foo Fighters song should ever make the vaunted label of "the most rocking track ever"

 

Steppenwolf-Berry Rides Again

 

Well, it's the whole "ever" part that causes issues because there are a million other bands that would win just by seniority.

But If I had to nominate a FF song for this thread, that's the one.

 

Voodoo Child

 

It's a good album and rocks really hard. Rollins using a more conventional hard rock/blues band (Mother Superior) instead of Chris Haskett/Sim Cain/Melvin Gibbs was a brave and inspired choice and it worked. Only for two albums, but it worked.

 

I was just messing with you. You like what you like
