Best rock song of all times


Only one answer please.
Not the best written or the best musical complexity but the one that represents the rock.

My choice: Satisfaction - Rolling Stones

Reasons:
- first notes are like the 5th of Beethoven (when you hear those notes, everybody pumps up the volume)
- still very up to date
- a mix of rock and blues rock and Motown sound
- lyrics talks about disatisfaction of young people vs life, politics, money and women (even B Dylan like that song)
- music is very basic as a good rock song should be

Ooh, good one @oblgny! I'll add "I'm On Fire" by The Dwight Twilley Band, "Shake Some Action" by The Flamin' Groovies, "Play That Fast Thing One More Time" by Rockpile, and "Cadillac Walk" by Moon Martin (original) or Mink DeVille (great version, wicked tough).
The Kinks dropped the "n' Roll" with "You Really Got Me"

Good one, Zardoz. Love your movie.
