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
I'm with the last two entries... Revolution by the Beatles. Lennon nailed it. A best rock song in any ones book. But Lindisfarne, I'm surprised, nothing from "Nicely Out of Tune"? Happy Listening!
