The best one hundred rock songs of all time

The staff of Ultimate Classic Rock has undertaken an arduous undertaking, namely to draw up the list of the best one hundred songs in the history of rock (here is the complete list). A very demanding challenge which was introduced by the magazine as follows: “The list of the 100 best rock songs is not limited to traditional rock ‘n’ roll records. Pop, soul, disco and metal also find space. But as the list shows, they all fall within the broad spectrum of rock music (although, if you think about it, perhaps “popular music” would be a more accurate definition). In any case, these 100 songs tell the story of the music of the last decades. These are the songs that have shaped entire generations.” As usual, below, we report the Top Ten.
