VH1's '100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs': Rank the Top 10

Jan 2, 2009, 02:00 PM | by Dan Snierson

Categories: Lists-o-rama!, Music, On a Scale of 1 to 10

Metallica_l Last week we asked you which anthems you expected and/or wanted to see on VH1’s 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. Well, today, to coincide with the net's 10 p.m. ET unveiling of the top 20, we'll conclude our festivities with another challenge: Rank the top 10, in order of oh-my-god-this-song-rocks-so-hard-iness. The fine folks at VH1 have revealed those 10 tunes exclusively to you, PopWatchers. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

• AC/DC's "Back in Black"
• Aerosmith's "Walk This Way"
• Black Sabbath's "Paranoid"
• Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle"
• Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love"
• Metallica's "Enter Sandman"
• Motörhead's "Ace of Spades"
• Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
• Van Halen's "Runnin’ with the Devil"
• The Who's "Won’t Get Fooled Again"

We know how we would arrange our list. (Hint: “Back in Black,” "Runnin' with the Devil," and “Welcome to the Jungle,” you may proceed to the head of the class.) But who cares what we think? Give us your top 10, using these selections. (And yes, if you hate VH1’s picks, you also can make a list using hard rock songs of your choosing.)

Nirvana, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Aerosmith, Megadeth, Zepp, Hendrix, AC/DC all rock. Slipknot, Korn, Anthrax (except for madhouse) are queers. And put some Bon Jovi on there. He put some sweat into Dead or Alive. Heres my list.

Green Day???? Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 07:59 PM EST

Are you serious GREEN DAY out of ALL bands??? Green Day sucks. MY list

1) Stairway to Heaven-Led Zepplin (not a huge fan)
2) Back in Black- AC/DC (couldnt be a bigger fan
3) Rock On- Def Leppard
4) Free Bird- Lynyrd Skynyrd
5) Welcome to the Jungle- Guns N' Roses
6) Eruption- Van Halen
7) Youth Gone Wild- Skid Row
8) Even Flow- Pearl Jam
9) American Band- Grandfunk Railroad
10) Run to the Hills- Iron Maiden
Yea im a teen but i bet i know a helluva lot more than some of you adults. The Beatles are NOT rock, neither is Rush, All American Rejects suck, Green Day SUCKS, Rolling Stones rule but they aint hard rock, the sky is blue, and wrestling is fake. Metalica is sorta so-so and i think AC/DC should be up there wit Hells Bells or You Shook Me All Night Long and I think Red Hot Chili Peppers are BEAST but they aint metal. AND for anyone to like rock, you have to HATE Obama (it says to spell check Obama)

All of you that are saying it should be all metallica or Def Leopard sucks are all retarded. Metallica first off wasnt the beginning of hard rock, they might have been a revolution but not the beginning. And brian adams doesnt deserve to be on there along with any song from Minutes to Midnight. i love linkin park but their new album sucked dick. What ive done is at most soft rock. Brandon you are a Fn retard. Pour some sugar on me is not hard rock and brian adams should not even be thought of when talking about hard rock or any rock for that reason. ACDC deserve a take along with led Zep, old metallica, Deep purple, and people that made the original hard rock. there are a few that match that but linkin park is more alternative rock. Lets try to be as non retarded as possible

ROC Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 01:16 PM EST

While I like Enter Sandman, I definitely think that Master of Puppets should be on that list, it's probably Metallica's best song and one that represents their musical style the best.

Phillip Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 12:57 PM EST

Alright, most of us will agree that Led Zeppelin is the greatest, most unexplainable phenomina in musical history. However, bands like The Beatles, and Pink Floyd, who were all so versatile with their work, how can one even begin to rate, or compare the greatness of these legendary bands, i just love their passion, and music.

***guns n' roses shouldnt be on any top 20 list anywhere, slash could've done it alone.***

kevin Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 10:47 PM EST

everyone has their own opinion and probably no one cares wat u think. wen ppl say y arnt their more ac dc songs or metallica because they need to put a variety of bands so stop crying. beatles r not hard rock. hard rock does not mean metal. and there is no room for stupid sell out bands.

J.A.K.E Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 12:29 AM EST

lets face it Motorhead is only got 1 good song in the Ace of Spades other than that the band is not even in the top 100 hard rock songs. Also what about Dragonforce, Disturbed, and Trapt. I know they aren't the best but they at least should be on top 100. Guns N' Roses are a great band to music wise but as people they suck. For no reason is there a right to just walk off stage in the middle of a performance. The last band that shouldn't even be considered a rock artist is Kidrock. Now thats understood here is my opinion on top 10 rock songs
#1 Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild
#2 The Doors - Light my Fire
#3 Breaking the Law - Judas Priest
#4 Kashmire - Led Zeppelin
#5 Rock and Roll All Night - KISS
#6 Master of Puppets - Metallica
#7 Rock You like a Hurricane - Scorpions
#8 Back in Black - AC~DC
#9 Fury of the Storm - Dragonforce
#10 Eruption - Van Halen
