I thought it was already established that Born to Run is the greatest rock anthem with Bohemian Rhapsody as its understudy and Baba O'Riley as the wacky neighbor.

There isn't even a question that it's "Born to Run." Case closed.

I have been asking people about this all day long and I thought that one persons answer of We Will Rock You was a pretty good choice. Also there has to be a U2 song that qualifies.

Pez, Back in Black is a good one but what about For Those About To Rock?

"We Will Rock You/ We Are The Champions" I'm pretty sure Is one song. Being of the opinion that bolth halves combine as one song, I think it's pretty lethal. As of right now...that's my choice.

I also favor AC/DC's "For Thoes About To Rock" because it's about Rock. I know somebody already said... it's like most of AC/DC's stuff is a good choice.True.

I love "Born To Run", and I think it's one of the ultimate Rock records. Also in that catagory "Hey Jude" & "Satisfaction". Not necessarily about Rock... but still anthems no doubt.

Also in the broad sense I gotta say "Bring The Noise" by Public Enemy.


Just my opinon, they all sound worthy to me.


Peace

What about Rock Around the Clock?
or Surrender?

Re: The Greatest Rock Anthem of All Time

Surrender is an awesome contender!

I'm pretty sure I could go the rest of my life without ever hearing Surrender again. Now, "For Those About to Rock" is a different story.

I think that the greatest rock anthem of all time is "Seventeen" by Winger.

Runner ups:
"Keep on Loving You" by REO Speedwagon

"Love Bites" by Def Leppard

Yes, and yes... But I could probably pick about 30 AC/DC songs that had the same effect. Hell, there's always "Big Balls."
