As great a band as Van Halen were/are, it's amazing that they only had one single top the Billboard Hot 100 charts. 1984's Jump went to #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Mainstream Rock charts. Enjoy!

The Doors - Light My Fire

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!

The Beatles - Twist and Shout

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!

Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer

There's one major reason why I loved Bon Jovi's Livin' On A Prayer. I was in high school when it was released, and the girls absolutely went berserk over this song. You could play Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet cassette, and when Livin' On A Prayer came on, the girls would go crazy singing along. It was a good time to be a teenager. This song topped VH1's list of The 100 Greatest Songs of the 80's. It was also their first song to go to #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Mainstream Rock charts. Enjoy!

Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle

Guns N' Roses' Welcome to the Jungle was a very close second to AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long as my favorite rock song of all-time. I remember the first time I heard this song. I was blown away because they looked like a hair band, but played and sounded like a heavy metal band with a slight hint of pop influence. It truly was a ground-breaking song. Enjoy!

Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone magazine named Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone it's Greatest Song of All-Time. He released the song as a single in 1965, and although it's length (over six minutes) prevented it from being played heavily on the radio, it still rose all the way to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. At the time of it's release, many Dylan fans did not like the song because it had a much harder and edgier tone than his folksy earlier stuff. However, this song is considered to be a pivotal point in American rock music as it ushered in a harder rock sound. Enjoy!
