1Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

When the writer of this song, the late Freddie Mercury had come into this studio with "Bohemian Rhapsody", the rest of the band had thought of it foolish, bizzare and odd---but went along with the "Fred thing"---now it is a masterpice that has withstood time, even more than thirty years old----nothing, and no one has come close to re-creating something so tongue-and-cheek, innovative, and still makes teenagers want to bang their heads and air-gutair while driving. Simply the best.

Amazing song by and amazing band. This song really goes in deep and shows the amazement of the person within. It is a hard song to sing but it does contain that challenge to try and do. By putting it on you can tell it is going to be good. Deserves to  be number 1.

2Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

The poetic storytelling nature of Robert Plant's lyrics combined with Jimmy Page's brilliant musical composition places "Stairway To Heaven" as the number one rock song of all time. Mr. Page's arrangement of a dramatic crescendo type development with the song passing through stages along the way lend to his (and John Paul Jones) influence by classical music. His guitar solo in this song is one of his greatest played with undeniable passion and ease. "Stairway To Heaven" is a legendary song composed and performed by the greatest rock musicians of all time, Led Zeppelin.

This is an incredible song! It's so great that it's becoming the theme song for my school's prom. Led Zeppelin is like no other classic.

I wanted to select something from Beatles or something from Radiohead, but this is the best song in Rock history. Fantastic guitar. Great vocals. Amazing lyrics.

3You Raise Me Up - Josh Groban

You Raise Me Up is a fabulous song, but its Josh Groban's voice that really brings out the true beauty and power of the song.

you raise me up is a one in a million song it is dedicated to our parents which just brings it out.. yeah it is one of the best songs I'v ever heard.

Amazing song, I love listing to it every single day, fabulous, his voice is strong and powerful

4Earth Song - Michael Jackson

The Earth needs us, please, we must to save our world, not for us, for our children's children so do more, try to change something and you will see that you are not alone, try to change your mind and you will see that your soul will feel the music of our beautiful world.

5Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Best song ever, we can smell his spirit, laugh out loud (i didn't understand. The best songs smell like going for the best. I love nirvana. NiRVANA NIRVANA NIRVANA! BEST SONG EVER ANYONE CAN LISTEN TO. Nirvana is part of rock's history, and deserves to be remembered from generation to generation. T smells like a perfect made delicious song that deserves to be in this list. Kurt was such a genius. This song has so much between the lines, it's awesome. I will always love NIRVANA. First time I voted another song.. The song is nice... But after listening this song I have changed by decision...

This song makes me want to run naked down the street... And I don't run Naked for just any song. It's like waking up in Russia lying on a moose rug.

Listen to sample

6One - Metallica

Amazing and moving, appealing to fans of thrash, metal in general, even pop fans... you can't help but be swept up in the epicness of it

An excellent, powerful, and meaningful song. I don't even know what else to say, it's too amazing!

Metallica is the best. This song really shows what their all about.
Darkness imprisoning me all that I see absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die trapped in myself body my holding cell!

7Imagine - John Lennon

Hey you! It is totally incomprehensible that Bohemian Rhapsody is the first. Imagine is the song of all centuries,
Queen and John Lennon aren't competitors because John Lennon is god and Queen is just the queen. So Imagine is the first-it's objective reality

Truly inspirational lyrics, to release your pre-conceived or ingrained notions of time and space, division of people; those going to heaven vs. the hell-bound. The very best song of love not for one, but for all the people who live as one. A masterpiece.

It's best song, and one with the best lyrics ever. It's message is simple, but at the same very profound.

8Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

It has everything a good rock song should have. An amazing riff, amazing lyrics, chorus and guitar solo.

9Crane's Crying - Vitas

Vitas songs very romantic and dreamy, his vocal very unique with high note and spelling his Russian words

Just wonderful! Vitas is driving me insane all the time... It is music for my ears, passion for my heart and the tragedy for my life... But I don't regret anything, any of the moment, which I spend on listening his music...

10The Winner Takes It All - ABBA

I have always loved this song! It is really on the greatest songs that anyone has ever written in a really long time. When ever I hear this song I think of Momamia and how amazing they sang this song... Definitely number one in the top tens, without a doubt.

Exhibits how unfair this world is; wonderful composition and perfect singing; overall, a beautiful peace!
