P.S. Modern mainstream rap sucks. If you want ART, you should try Run-D.M.C.

Bawitdaba should be higher great trash metal song,although if a Kid Rock song was on their it should have been I Am The Bullgod way better than Bawitdaba
If you voted for twisted sister,quiet riot,bon jovi,def lappard or poison you should be shot the 80′s were gay except ac/dc,van halen and aerosmith
back in black im tired of that song its a easy riff and a repetative song, let their be rock is the best ac/dc song period.
Smells Like Teen Spirit should be demoted for ripping off Boston (More Than A Feeling) it was Kid Rock’s All Summer Long (Sweet Home Alabama) or American Bad Ass (Sad But True) way before those songs came out.
Hey Joe isnt really a hard rock song Purple Haze or Voodoo Child is and both better than Hey Joe which should be way further back.
Where is Rage Against The Machine at?
Lastly seriously Twisted Sister No 17 list lost all credibilty esp with no Iron Man listed or Black Dog or Stranglehold etc
Tha-Pie | Jan 3, 2009 | Reply
“C’mon Everybody”, where is Humble Pie on this list? I submit 3 songs in order of preference – “C’mon Everybody”, “Hot-n-Nasty”, and “30 Days in the Hole” – all from the “Smokin” LP from 1972. It’s old school but it doesn’t get any better!

This is definitely the worst countdown. I just watched it and I got all excited to see Welcome to the Jungle as number one. Wtffffff? I mean it’s a good song but it does not deserve the number one spot. No the Doors? You’ve got to be kidding me. Jim Morrison is the epitome of rock. Without him, there would be no one. Buck Cherry even making the first hour is ridiculous. I agree that Kashmir should have been higher than Whole Lotta Love. And as far as you bitches ranting about rap being better, if it wasn’t for rock rap wouldn’t be around so stfu. Rock’s been around much much longer anyway.
stephanie | Jan 3, 2009 | Reply
One more thing, do not blame vh1. Blame the dumb asses that vh1 let vote for this countdown. Well at least blame them more than vh1 is to be. Also, coming from a teenager I guarantee that a bunch of nimrod twenty some year olds and other teenagers voted thinking they know what rock is when they really don’t. Pathetic? I think so.

Man they had some great songs on here…but IMO Disturbed should have been featured…they gets no love from the voters…that sucks they are a HUGE band…atleast can I get “Down With The Sickness” on here? geez!
Stranglehold should have made the list over Cat Scratch Fever!
this list has a few holes definitely!
Nick | Jan 3, 2009 | Reply
I couldn’t agree more with the people who said Rage Against the Machine should be on there. The list is HARD ROCK and several of the songs on there are not hard rock. How the hell does Rage not make it on there? What is Rage’s music too political? Don’t get me wrong Everlong is a cool song but not hard rock. Eye of the Tiger made the list really? Wow really need to check to make sure they are hard rock before you put out a list that says top 100 hard rock songs.

C’mon…this list was basically about Hard Rock only…not just Metal..so, not a lot of our favorite bands were gonna make the list. Hell, I was most surprised Staind didn’t make the list…or Pink floyd.

I watched this list for hours waiting for Rage Against The Machine, tool, or even system of a down but they never came. Kid Rock, Poison, Foreigner, Europe seriously? I Thought VH1 would’ve got it right born of a broken man, bull on parade, killing in the name of, Boom, nope not one. Great job VH1…

and don’t get me started on that cracker, white-trash song stealer whose name i won’t even mention. of all the bands snubbed, HE gets on the list. ridiculous.

I was watching this and I was expecting Loverboy (Working for the Weekend, among others) to be on there somewhere. I was dissapointed they weren’t, but I chalk that up to them being a Canadian band and not as popular in the States. But what the real travesty was was the absence of “Born to be Wild” by Steppenwolf. That is THE definative hard rock song and coined the phrase “Heavy Metal” in the first place. I was half expecting it to be #1, and it should have at least made the Top 10. Instead, it’s not on the list at all.
Bah…

This list is a mix of commercial rock with a bit of the real thing. Def Lep should have been bringing on the heartbreak. I agree where was stranglehold. I guess not all the folks that voted grew up in the 70′s and 80′s when the best rock was cutting its teeth on what was set up in the 60′s.

Bohemian Rhapsody could’ve easily made top ten. I mean, it’s not like VH1 limited the genres of this 100 Hard Rock Songs countdown to Hard Rock, no, with songs like Talk Dirty To Me featured on the list, I don’t see why Lose Yourself by Eminem can’t be placed on the list. They both seem to be the same proximity away from hard rock after all.
Fail list is fail.

Stupid list. 50% at least don’t belong. No Stranglehold, no Lunatic Fringe, no Pantera, Tool, Yes, progressive rock like Dream Theater or Symphony X. Only one Metallica, Megadeth, Black Sabbath yet two Winger and AC/DC. Stupid list.
Andrew | Apr 5, 2009 | Reply
Metallica should absolutely be number 1. Nothing will touch their songs that go up to 10 minutes that you can actually listen to till the end. These days the average song length is like 3 minutes. Master of Puppets is definitely a must for this list. Rage should be added to this list as well, maybe even Soundgarden too.
Corey | Apr 7, 2009 | Reply
All the songs are good, but there are some that belong and some that don’t. But you need to think most the songs on here were considered “hard rock” when they came out. What we consider hard rock now isn’t what was considered hard rock then. and the majority of these, were songs that changed music. I would of liked to see stairway to heaven, paradise city, purple haze. and if a poison song deserved to be on it Nothin’ but a Good Time should of been on it instead of Talk to me Dirty. Welcome to the Jungle did not even deserve the top 10.

One Motley Crue song? Several off the top of my head…Take Me To The Top, Live Wire, Too Fast For Love, Shout At The Devil, Knock Em Dead Kid, Wild Side, Primal Scream, Kickstart My Heart. They saved rock and roll from punk and practically invented “Heavy Metal” PAY HOMAGE! Great guitar, ground pounding drums, unbelievable lyrics and who can beat The Vince Neil?! Any one of these songs should be in the top ten.

First off, should have made the cut:
Disturbed, Rage Against the Machine (seriously, HOW did they miss that?!), maybe Linkin Park. Maybe some others too, like Tool, but those are my top 3.
Bands that should not have made the cut:
Bon Jovi (holy crap! I don’t know what they were smoking when they made this list but it wasn’t legal), Kansas, Journey, Foreigner, Poison.
Songs that are way overrated on this list:
Welcome to the freakin’ Jungle (top 30 maybe), Whole Lotta Love (I’m only saying this because it beat Kashmir- I love both songs), Back In Black, Freebird, Hey Joe (that’s not even a hard rock song. If you put Hendrix on the list, use Voodoo Child or something and have him crack the top 20), Blitzkrieg Bop.
Underrated, screwed, and snubbed:
Kashmir (the anthem of hard rock), Rock You Like A Hurricane, One – Metallica, Hot For Teacher (top 30), and much more.
If you’re gonna make a hard rock list, remember a slightly important rule boys and girls: use hard rock songs.

Anyone 50 or over would know that anything that came out after the mid-80′s can in no way compare to true rock and roll. Where is STYX, and REO Speedwagon. No Allman Brothers, or The Outlaws? I understand this is more of a ‘main-stream’ list, but if thats the case, where is ‘Forever’ by Y&T. Bad Co.? Cheap Trick? Worst of all, no Stevie Ray Vaughan! Come on now!!! I understand he was blues, but he’s got a couple rock and songs that would blow the doors off of any 90′s or later music. I still cant believe GnR made the #1 spot. Its all nonsense.

Shut up u assholes!!! Complaining about the list isnt gonna change it. And just beacause a song is slow that doesnt mean its not hard rock.
And by the way, You give love a Bad name, (Bon Jovi), is an awesome ass song so shut up.

SABIn,
i don’t know if u noticed, but it’s called Top 100 HARD ROCK Songs, not Top 100 RAP Songs.
so get over yourself. if you call rap music, then you obviously need to have your brain examined.

First let me say this, I think that the people who voted for these songs simply played Guitar Hero on easy one time, thought they knew rock, went out and bought one shirt with Slash on it “Cause he is the most awesome guy EVER!!!!!”. Shut up, it’s cause he was on Guitar Hero.
Anyway, this list is missing a lot of bands (I won’t bother listing the songs, although I think they should replace a few of the bands’ songs with better works), like Pantera, Pink Floyd, Disturbed, Godsmack, System of a Down, Rage, Tool, Styx, Black Label Society, Drowning Pool, and the list goes on and on. Personally, even though I know they are kinda underground and not really mainstream, I would have loved to see Dream Theater. The technical and musical prowess of their songs are unparalled.
But yeah, this was probably the worst list ever, next time let’s not have Vh1 do a list for rock music. Maybe I should just make my own…

you guys r all idiots. this is the best top 100, let me repeat, 100 hard rock songs of ALL TIME. do you know how many songs were made from the beginning to now. each song on here played a big role in making rock what it is so do your homework if you disagree cus we had to touch on all eras. i dare you to try and make a list because all you are going to get is a comment page like this full of wannabe metal heads that think they know metal bashing your hard work saying “why is bon jovi on there” or “where is rage against the machine” when they werent even sperm when bon jovi was big so they have no idea what he did for rock. and rage against the machine is an amazing band but bulls on parade isnt legendary so put it on your ipod and shut up.

i think they did a decent job. there is no possible way to please all of us. that is why rock is what it is because it is full of different riffs and styles and flovors that spark new ideas and continues to grow. there really isnt a right answer to the best rock song ever so no matter what they put u all would be crying anyway. its not like this list is law and you all have to agree with it. the only list that shud matter is the one you make for yourself. dont be a poser and say it rocks cuz others say it rocks. listen to it then make the decision yourself. im always going to rock out. and super cool guys will always be in my number 1 spot because they ARE rock and roll.

There is 100 good songs, but we can’t make a top 1000 for all the pleasures… some bands you said couldn’t enter in this list, cause they don’t really are Hard Rock, they’re other kind of Metal, like RATM, Dream Theater, etc… Pantera should enter on this ’cause Megadeth and Metallica entered, but whatever… Dream Theater is really a great band, but they aren’t Hard Rock, they’re Progressive, its a lot different.

Regardless, the list was never going to please everyone, and never will judging by some comments here. The other variable is how did they exactly classify “hard rock” from the other related sub classes of rock?? I agree with PJ really; thank f#$k someone is at least attempting to piece the top 100 rock songs of all time (even if it was hosted by a pretty bot soft cock!).

Where are Pantera, NIN, Master of Puppets… I sort of understand not having new bands like Godsmack and Disturbed since they are looking for songs that have stood the test of time (I guess). But at least 1/4 of the songs aren’t even close to “Hard Rock”. They kept talking about the Riffs in the song and it was sponsored by Guitar Hero so I think the list was mislabled. Should have been “100 Top Guitar Riff Rock Songs”
P.S. Guess they had to give Nirvana a nod… Worst band ever…

WTF!!! How the f**k did welcome to the jungle get #1 Its not even the best GnR song let alone the best rock song ever. And whole lotta love? what are these people thinking. I wouldnt even put that in the top 5 Led zep songs.
Some songs that SHOULD have made the list:
Jimi Hendrix-All along the watchtower
Led Zeppelin-Stairway to Heaven
Metallica-Fade to Black
Guns n Roses-November Rain
Disturbed-down with the Sickness
And wheres all the WOLFMOTHER????
joker and the thief, woman, white unicorn, tales from the forest of gnomes, minds eye, several of these should be on the list. Wolfmother is one of the best rock bands ever. COME ON vh1!!!!!! you dont know anything about music

1 Zepplin (stairway, Kashmir,immigrant song )
2 ACDC (Hells Bells, thunderstruck)
3 Metallica (Master Pup, for whom the bell)
4 Sabbath (Iron Man, War Pigs)
5 Deep Purple (smoke on the water)
6 Motley Crue (shout at the devil)
7 Judas Priest (victim of changes)
8 Van Halen (Eruption)
9 Alice and Chains (Rooster)
10 Disturbed (down with sickness)
11 Aerosmith (Dream on)
12 Scorpians (Hurricane)
13 Rage Against Machine (killing in the name)
14 GNR ( sweet child of mine)
But a true list would have Zepp, ACDC, Metallica and Sabbath dominating the entire list

I agree – Guns & Roses beat out Hendrix, Zeppelin? “Stairway” didn’t even make the list. When I saw where this “list” was going – about # 25 – I just turned it off. When I heard Guns got #1 I just laughed – what a waste of time.

Lists like these can be so subjective. It can never be all-encompasing. With that said, it’s not a horrible list. First, it’s hard to define what hard rock is (compared to heavy metal, punk, classic rock, etc.). Second, music types are generally too confined and the genres overlap to create confusion as to what is considered appropriate classifications (if any one at all).
Hair Bands can’t be disregarded in this list (Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, etc.) nor can earlier bands such as Kiss, Van Halen and AC/DC.
Grunge has it’s place somewhere on this list as well – Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, etc.
Where did hard rock and heavy metal get it’s start should be represented better – Black Sabbath (Ozzy), Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow.
Then we have the Metal crowd – obviously Metallica is the most commercial and successful of the bunch.
There is no way to appeal to the masses so this debate is futile. Just find the music you like and respect the decisions of others when lists like this are made. Better yet, make a list of your own and see how others react to your tastes.

For a Hard Rock list few hard rock songs made the Top 100. Maybe it’s because most heavy metal sucks. There weren’t enough Hard Rock hits to make a list of 100 so Vh1 pretty put in whatever they wanted to. The Who, Led Zeppelin, Rush, and (despite The Wall) Pink Floyd are Not hard rock bands. The genre they share is called progressive or acid rock. To further delineate acid rock Three Doors Down, Creed, AC/DC, and Poison are NOT acid rock. Acid rock is named after stoners or ,more specifically, Hippie stoners.
It’s sad that newer bands can’t hold a candle to the older ones. I guess that’s why bands like Led Zeppelin and The Beatles are considered the legends of rock. “The child has grown the dream is gone” hahaha. I don’t mind the new guys however because I don’t have to listen to them…until I hear “let me be myself” I really really hate that song (and the band sucks).

Kid Rock ain’t even hard rock, he don’t even know what he is. One year he’s rap, the next year he is rock, and the year after that he is country.

There are hundreds of thousands of great rock songs, and everyone has their own personal preferences. I personally don’t like Soundgarden, but Black Hole Sun is still on the list. I honestly like all rock songs. Early rock, Rock N’ Roll, Classic Rock, Soft Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, and any other kind of rock out there. People need to be more open to others preferences.

The reason some of the best all time bands ever are not on this list is because the people who should have been voting are actually out working, not voting for songs on VH1. Everybody who’s left have no taste in music.
I was thrilled to see Tull on the list but Thick as a Brick definitely should have been there. Also, The Stones’ Sympathy for the Devil, and there should have been more ACDC.
Evanescence, Journey and Pat Benetar are soft rock at best. I love Supertramp but they definitely wouldn’t belong on a Hard Rock list. However with some of the choices that did get included, Supertramp can definitely compete.
Where was Sweet Child of Mine and Sweet Home Alabama? Alice Cooper has better tunes than School’s Out.
By the way, anybody hear Dream Theatre? If not, give it a listen you won’t be disappointed.

I am sorry, but I think this list is very “westocentric”. For example, Yugoslavia had one of the best rock (and hard-rock) scenes in Europe twenty-thirty years ago. So, here is my top 10 list. I recommend that all of you listen these songs under numbers 10. 7. 5. and 3. and you will be very plesently surprised:
10. Kerber – Ratne igre
9. Rolling Stones – Satisfaction
8. Queen – I Want it All
7. Riblja Corba – Amsterdam
6. Rainbow – Lady of the Lake
5. Bijelo Dugme – Kad bi bio bijelo dugme
4. Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit
3. YU Grupa – Cudna suma
2. Black Sabbath – Paranoid
1. Iron Maiden – Fear of the Dark (if “Run to the Hills” is hard-rock, then I guess “Fear of the Dark” is also).

Stevie | Jun 11, 2010 | Reply
I agreed with most of the artists on the list, but not necessarily the songs. There are songs by several of these artists that rock harder than the ones VH1 picked.
A lot of people were asking ‘where’s the Stones and Zeppelin?’ This is a HARD rock list, not a classic rock list. As a classic rock jock myself, I would have been very disappointed if they had included them. Not that they don’t rock–they do–but we’re talking serious hard rock here, not the more mellow sound some of the classic artists are known for.
I was surprised that a few other groups didn’t make it. Nickelback, for one. Don’t knock them, they’ve got some seriously rockin’ music. And if it was MY list, I don’t think I would have added Europe or Billy Squier.
All in all, it’s a great list, and I fully intend to make a playlist for my iPod. It’s not “The” definitive list; everyone’s different, so everyone would pick differently. Just because it’s not what I would have picked doesn’t make it stupid or retarded.

Typical list of just mainstream music. Sure, there are some really good songs on there, but most of them are misplaced as fuck (Heaven and Hell on place 81? PFFFT), and some of the songs aren’t even “hard rock”. For example, AC/DC have made much better songs than Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap or Back in Black. Where’s Whole Lotta Rosie or Riff Raff? See, that’s what happens when only the most popular songs are picked out.

“I feel like this list needs a lot more nickelback. I mean who actually listens to led Zepplin and Metallica. Those bands are old. Its time for some new hits if you ask me.”
This is a list represents the “100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs” whether or not you agree with the songs listed, your dumbass comments are misplaced and ill-conceived. Do the world a favor and shoot yourself… in the face… immediately.

Who cares what order the songs are in, or what kind of rock they are. Most of these songs have some good guitar riffs. So just put these 100 songs into your ipod, and hit shuffle, and rock out! And add some more, like:
- April Wine – I like to Rock
- Van Halen – Panama
- Aerosmith – Sweet Emotion
- AC DC – Jail Break
- Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Babies
- SRV – Pride & Joy
- Bad Company – Bad Company
- ZZ Top – La Grange
- James Gang – Walk Away
- Tool – forty six & 2
- Disturbed – Guarded
- Rage Against the Machine – Killing in the name of
- Tom Petty – American Girl
- Nirvana – Molly’s Lips
- Steppenwolf – Born to be Wild
- Rolling Stones – Jumpin Jack Flash
- Foo Fighters – Monkey Wrench

Iron Maiden | Jul 4, 2010 | Reply
Well, only thing i can say to you about this list is : it isn’t that bad how it could be. On list should be Rose Tattoo ( Nice Boys is classic hard rock song, or maybe Tramp or Remedy ), Danzig – Mother, Manowar – Fighting The World, Status Quo, UFO , Saxon, Tesla.

GUNS N ROSES-PARADISE CITY, NOVEMBER RAIN, SWEET CHILD O’MINE, PATIENCE, ESTRANGED, COMA, DON’T CRY SHOULD ALL BE ON THIS LIST.
LED ZEPPELIN- STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, IMMIGRANT SONG SHOULD BE ON THIS LIST.
METALLICA- MASTER OF PUPPETS
OZZY- CRAZY TRAIN
NIRVANA- SO OVERRATED. I LIKE THEM, ONE OF MY FAVES, BUT DEF OVERRATED.
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE ISNT GUNS BEST SONG. BUT IT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SONGS EVER. WHEREVER YOU GO, ANY SPORTING EVENT, YOU HEAR THIS SONG. ITS A ROCK ANTHEM. THIS IS PROB WHY ITS NUMBER 1. BUT I THINK PARADISE CITY OR SWEET CHILD O MINE COULD BE #1 ASWELL.
ESTRANGED IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER RECORDED..BUT GETS NO LOVE OTHER THAN FROM GUNS N ROSES FANS AND I THINK THIS IS THE WAY AXL WANTED IT FOR THIS PARTICULAR SONG.

Wow, I, I wanna hear you scream

It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn to live liea an animal

If you got a hunger for what you see
You’ll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me
And when you’re high you never
Or ever want to come down, YEAH!
You know where you are?

I have to agree with the posts that asked why the Beatles aren’t on the list. Not just Helter Skelter and She’s So Heavy but how about their fast version of Revolution, Hey Bulldog, She Said She Said, Taxman, Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except for me and my Monkey, Don’t Let me Down, Get Back, Savoy Truffle etc………………….
I mean crapp, even “I want to Hold Your Hand” and “I saw Her standing There” were hard rock pioneer songs but the previous mentioned ones kick but from every direction.
Hopefully VH1 hasn’t gone the reverse status Beatles phenomenon that phased for a while before the resurgence of their music as of late.
Great picks on the list but the Beatles should have made the list at least once!

The reason why Rage Against The Machine isnt in the list coz vh1 is too scared that the government might shut them down… just kidding.
but too disappointing that theres alot missing in the lineup. ALOT… and alot as in Dream Theater alot…
but we can’t blame those people who can’t accept some of this generations music. they are too caught up in the past. vh1 should just burn this list and let the counting be left by the pros.

also saw someone say welcome to the jungle didnt deserve #1. i totally disagree, that song never gets old and is just plain raw hard kick a*s rock. i was expecting led zep to be # 1 with black dog of whole lotta love but honestly, zep isn’t hard rock. to me hard rock makes u want to break somthin. ACDC is the pure definition of hard rock, never did a ballad, never let down their edgy sound. brian johnson is my all time hero and his voice is stuff of legend!!!

Also, I have to agree that this list was missing a lot of great songs, but most of the bands mentioned are (and will always be) the sh*t! Who cares what place they came? More than likely a bunch of teenage guitar hero addicts who don’t know a thing about hard rock picked the slots on this list anyway.
Everyone has their own personal top 100. It doesn’t make any sense agruing against eachother(especially on the internet). We all share a love for hard rock and that should pull us together, not push us apart.

and Cum On Feel the Noize should have gone to SLADE not the cover of their song, which wasn’t superior to the original.
SLADE should have gotten it in recognition of their other classics such as G’buy t’ Jane and Mama Weer All Crazee Now.
Anyway, why bother with these lists at ALL? They won’t be the top 100 for any individual, and unless they are the top 100 listened to (prove that!) or top 100 sold, what is the purpose? There is nothing to really judge them other than a bunch of “experts” compromising with each other. What’s that got to do with ME?
