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
Stones, 'You Can't Always Get What you Want Allman Bros, 'In Memory of Elizabeth Reed' Greatful Dead, 'Truckin' Bob Dylan, 'Shelter from the Storm' Paul McCartney, 'Maybe I'm Amazed' Beach Boys, 'Surfs Up'
I don't know if this qualifies as Rock,exactly;but I would vote for Sugar Sugar by the Archies 2nd--Rockin' Love,by Josie Cotton Another Good one:I Get Around by a band called the Beach Boys.They were pretty good.
