My 10 greatest hard rock songs

*Insert elitist post that over-analyzes music for the OP's top 10 lameass classic rock radio hits and mention how he is a newbie to music and a failure in life and then proceed with an all knowing statement about something nebulous like influence or comment on the musicianship of any of the songs with more authority than the ghosts of all music legends combined.*

Very, very accurate.

So? That's just the ending. Most of it is a soft ballad.

Barely?! Try not at all.

I would still consider it a hard rock song. Elvis did many ballads that were still considered "Rock N Roll".

Stairway is hard rock, but barely if you ask me

It's a Rock song, no doubt, but I don't consider slow guitar playing, hardly any drums or bass and moaning vocals very Hard Rock. If it was just the solo onward,
A: It would be Hard Rock.
B: I wouldn't loathe it.

@instantdeath999: Rock was different in the 50's, though. Jailhouse Rock in the 50's was like Battery in the 80's. When Stairway came out, it wasn't even as "heavy" as some pop songs.

hardly any drums and bass? it's not like their silent for a majority of the song, and without the climbing structure, there's really no point at all to the song, and again, slow doesn't mean soft. I'm not saying the song is hard rock, I'm just saying your arguments are awful.

I had no idea the song had a point to begin with.
