Can't Buy Me Love is one of The Beatles' biggest hits. When it went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts on April 4, 1964, it set four records:
- At the time, it had the biggest jump to number one: (#27 to #1).
- It was the Beatles third consecutive #1 song.
- When it hit #1, The Beatles held the top five positions on the chart: (2) Twist and Shout, (3) She Loves You, (4) I Want to Hold Your Hand and (5) Please Please Me. No other act had or has held the top five spots at the same time.
- During it's second week at #1, The Beatles had 14 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, which is still a record to this day.
As you can see, this was a huge hit. Enjoy!

Light My Fire is one of the most famous rock songs of all-time. This video is from their first and only appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Sullivan asked the band to change the lyrics from "girl, we couldn't get much higher" to "girl, we couldn't get much better", but Morrison claimed he forgot to change the lyrics because he was nervous. In reality, Ray Manzarek wrote years later that the band had no intention of changing the lyrics. Sullivan told the band they'd never play on his show again, and Morrison gave one of his trademark responses, "Hey, man, so what, we just did the Sullivan show!" Enjoy!

Dream On is one of the most famous rock ballads of all-time. It was Aerosmith's first single from their self-titled first album. It peaked at #53 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts when it was originally released as a single in 1973. It was re-released as a single in 1976, and this time, it cracked the top ten and peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, making it their highest charting single of the 70's.
Dream On is part of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list, and it's ranked #172 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Enjoy!

No list of the greatest rock songs of all-time would be complete without featuring a Beatles song (actually a number of Beatles songs will be featured). My favorite Beatles song is their cover version of Twist and Shout, which was released as single in the U.K. in 1963 and the U.S. in 1964. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in '64. It enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in 1986 when it was featured in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. So much so, that it peaked at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts that summer. Enjoy!
