We're An American Band by Grand Funk Railroad seems to be missing from your list.

Also, Fat Bottomed Girls and not Stone Cold Crazy or Bohemian Rhapsody? I guess everyone's Queen preference is different.

Also, while I don't have the energy to compile a list, one of my top favorites is Captain Jack by Billy Joel.

Awesome list.

Bohemian Rhapsody is definitely a good song, but for some reason (as blasphemous as this sounds) it just doesn't really click in my mind as a rock song.

Fat Bottomed Girls is just straight rock all the way through. Wonderfully fun song.

Also eFlare pointed out that No CCR songs made my top 25, but Fortunate Son is an honorable mention.

I could post my favorite rock songs, but it would all end up being by Crush 40 or some Pop/Punk band, so I think I'll leave it at that.

A good chunk of my music would be Radiohead songs.

I'd also like the mention I just realized 90% of that list is from songs that have been in Rock Band/Guitar Hero games, sans Zepplin of course.

My current top five (Twenty five is too much at that moment)

1. Bush "Glycerine"
2. Van Halen "Right Now"
3. The Offspring "Gone Away"
4. Billy Idol "Dancing With Myself"
5. Alice Cooper "He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)"
