Genuinely exceptional rock songs

Haven't been many.

Wish You Were Here
Where Have all the Flowers Gone
No More Tears
In the End
You Could be Mine
Strutter
Stairway to Heaven
Dust in the Wind
Cemetary Gates
Rainbow in the Dark
Gimme all Your Lovin'
Open Your Heart
Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
One Thing Leads to Another
American Pie
Ring of Fire
Iron
Stargazer
God Bless the USA
Down Boys
Tattooed Millionaire
Don't Come Around Here No More
Dream On
Runaway
Eagle Fly Free
Under the Bridge

blowharding: Janick Gers has taken some criticism but the greatest album Bruce has ever done is Tattooed Millionaire, which is just him and Janick. Also, they recorded the original version of "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter" together, which was used as a demo to land them a record contract. It's better than the Iron Maiden recording.

Maybe we should just pick one per post, and briefly explain why we deem it a "genuinely exceptional rock song".
