Alright, after a lot of great input, here are the finalists for the greatest rock songs ever. I did not stick totally to the previously alloted slots, and instead I am just grabbing the 12 best songs we listed and voted for. Here they are, in no particular order:
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zepplin
Where the Streets Have No Name by U2
Shook me all night long by AC/DC
Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N Roses
Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Free Falling – Tom Petty
Vodoo Chile – Jimi Hendrix
Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard
Roxanne by the Police
Hotel California – Eagles
Smells Like Teen Spirit – Nirvana
Paranoid – Black Sabbath
Wild Cards - (Songs that I just can’t leave off the list, but didn’t want to give groups too many songs, or too many from one genre)
Freebird – Lynyrd Skynyrd
One – U2
Highway to Hell – AC/DC
Sweet Child of Mine – Guns N Roses
Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower
If you have final votes before I rank and tally them, let me know!

You Shook Me is a great song, but I truly believe that Let There Be Rock is the best AC/DC song ever.
And I’m sorry, Stairway to Heaven is the greatest rock song ever. Personally Kashmir is my favorite, but Stairway is musically and Lyrically better than anything by leaps and bounds.Go ahead, dispute me. I dare ya!
