Top 10 Best Whitesnake Songs

Few bands have defined hard rock quite like Whitesnake. Born from the bluesy ashes of Deep Purple, thanks to frontman David Coverdale, Whitesnake started as a soulful, groove-heavy rock band in the late '70s before evolving into the swaggering, big-haired, arena-filling force of the '80s. Along the way, they gave us some of the most unforgettable anthems of the era.

If you were anywhere near a radio or MTV in the mid-to-late '80s, you already know the band's most massive hits. Whitesnake mastered the art of the soaring power ballad, the fist-pumping rock anthem, and the kind of blues-drenched riffing that made you want to roll down your car windows and sing at the top of your lungs. But their catalog is deeper than just a handful of monster singles. Longtime fans know that beyond the stadium-sized choruses and electrifying solos, Whitesnake's music is packed with rich melodies, blistering guitar work, and enough emotion to power an arena full of raised lighters.

So, what are the best Whitesnake songs? That's where you come in. Whether you love the bluesy early years or the glossy, high-energy hits of the MTV era, your votes decide which songs stand at the top.

The Top Ten

Here I Go Again

It is one inspiring song. Everyone can relate to it, and you cannot help but sing along.
On my top 10 list!

This is one of the best songs! I absolutely love Whitesnake! This song definitely rules and sounds brilliant anytime of the day!

Definitely one of my all-time favorite songs. Pumps me up every time I listen to it!
Still of the Night

This is such an awesome song! I play this song with my band, and it's awesome to play live because of all its great parts on all instruments. The lyrics are great too!
This song really is the second best song from Whitesnake, if not the best!

One of their heaviest songs. As much as I love the earlier, more blues-style stuff, this lets me really bang my head!
And that epic interlude! Man, I'm not gay, but just to hear Coverdale breathe is impressive.

I love all of Whitesnake's songs! David Coverdale has got the sexiest voice! I love his sexy voice in Still of the Night the best!
Is This Love

This song has the most meaning of any of their songs. I mean, they are an incredible band, but I value this song mostly. It can help even describe what life is like when you're in love.

One of the most powerfully true ballads ever! Literally a moving song. Whenever I hear this song, it actually produces a feeling of uplifting emotions.
One to cherish.

The build-up from the start is amazing, and the whole composition of the music is so well put together. The mood the song creates is just poetic and conveys its message beautifully.
Fool for Your Loving

The best song for fools who have loved. I'm one of them too. This song rocks.
Crying in the Rain

Extended vocal range, insane guitar solo, fast and furious drums at the end. A masterpiece.
Love Ain't No Stranger

This is by far the coolest of their songs. Its riff is a total classic! The vocals are awesome, and the lyrics are cool.

One of the best songs Whitesnake ever made!
Slow An' Easy

I do love the top 4, but this song has become a new favorite. It just puts you in a trance, listening to it.

Erotic, blunt, and suggestive. My favorite. Just have to crank up the volume when I hear it!

A classic.
This song can never be redone or replicated.
Forevermore!
Give Me All Your Love

One of their best lively songs! Coverdale's voice and vocal range are impressive.
Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City

I just love this one. It touches my heart! Reminds me of a very special person who made me love Whitesnake! I'm listening to them right now!

Reminds me of the old school days. It was awesome. Words can't describe it. Jamming together with friends and so on.
Love Whitesnake. Unforgettable memories.
Don't Break My Heart Again

Best song ever recorded by the magnificent band named Whitesnake!

The best song in Whitesnake's blues-rock era.

The Contenders

Now You're Gone

Even though Still of the Night, Here I Go Again, and Is This Love are fantastic and some of my favorites, Now You're Gone just does it for me. So good.

It starts as though it's a slow ballad but quickly converts to a rocking love anthem.

Best Whitesnake song with the best guitar player in the world. I just love Steve Vai!
Looking for Love
Love to Keep You Warm
Kitten's Got Claws
Judgement Day

Such a powerful song that I first heard 30 years ago. The song has just gotten better over time. Coverdale is just so good at selling every lyric.

They have so many great songs that I couldn't decide which one I should pick. I've voted for "Still of the Night," but "Judgement Day" is one of my favorites too.
Shame that I can only vote once.

One of the band's most epic songs. This is real heavy metal! Why so low on this list?
Slide It In

The guitar and drums in this song are killer. A must for a Whitesnake fan.

Way better than "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City." Besides, it's a song they wrote.
All or Nothing

I have just discovered this song in the Slide It In album, and this song is a little gem. It is so good! I am very impressed by the energy of Coverdale and the music. The chorus of this song is terrific and energetic. A true gem.
The Deeper the Love

It's a legendary track and definitely one of the greatest songs ever written and recorded without a shadow of a doubt, not just in rock but in any category of music. It's so amazing, so beautiful, so exciting, and so intensely emotional that it's impossible to forget.
It puts 90% of today's music (that claims to be great) to utter shame. How it never got to number 1 in the UK when it was released is a mystery. It's better than any Beatles song that I've ever listened to.

Awesome song, great lyrics, great tempo. Songwriting at its best. Love the feel of this song and the great vocals by Coverdale. Lots of emotion!
Wine, Women An' Song
Walking in the Shadow of the Blues

Fantastic song. "I love the blues, they tell my story" indeed.

I wish they'd done more like this. Pure blues. Beautiful.
Cheap and Nasty
Ready An' Willing

This is an amazing hard rock song. One of Whitesnake's top 15 for sure! Great guitar riff, and the solo is perfect! The vocals are just stunning, as always.
Guilty of Love

This song is not one of the cliche ones that everyone knows. You can't say that you like one of those and claim to be a Whitesnake fan.
This song almost summarizes their music. All of the songs are amazing, but this one definitely deserves to be in the top 10.

Definitely should be higher. A very catchy chorus within what is really a rocking tune with some good riffs added to the mix.
