- "I Love Rock 'N Roll" (1981) — Joan Jett & the Blackhearts. So what if it's a cover? Joan Jett & the Blackhearts own this song with every ounce of their being.
- "Born to Run" (1975) — Bruce Springsteen. If "At night, we ride through the mansions of glory/In suicide machines" doesn't sound like a typical rock lyric, it's because this ode to love, cars, and unfulfilled American dreams is anything but typical.
- "Starman" (1972) — David Bowie. David Bowie's "Starman" is a soaring wonder, a sparkly tale about an alien communicating with Earth's children via radio (and phone!).
- "Once in a Lifetime" (1980) — Talking Heads. An ode to disassociation, the Talking Heads' signature song is carried by Tina Weymouth's hypnotic rubber-band bassline and (her husband) Chris Frantz's shuddery beats.
- Aerosmith, "Sweet Emotion" "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith earns the top spot on our Top 100 Classic Rock Songs list by embodying such an overwhelming portion of the intangible things that make the rest of the songs on our countdown so timeless.
- Led Zeppelin, "Kashmir" Led Zeppelin earn the penultimate spot on our Top 100 Classic Rock Songs list with "Kashmir," a stately, epic masterpiece that refuses to acknowledge that rock music should have any uncrossable boundaries.
- The Rolling Stones, "Gimme Shelter" With an ominous mood set from the first notes, we know for certain that "the storm is threatening" on the Rolling Stones' haunting and powerful "Gimme Shelter."
- AC/DC, "Back in Black" It's a lesser statistic, but somehow it speaks most loudly: AC/DC's 'Back in Black' received the RIAA's master ringtone sales award (gold and platinum) in 2006 and reached two-times platinum status in 2007.
