The Most Beautiful Songs of the Rock and Roll Era

Simply the best rock and roll song of all times! Most requested song in radio history. One of the most amazing guitar solos in history. Sexy vocals and a dynamite package.

This song brings tears to my eyes just hearing about it. John Paul Jones' flute playing and John Bonham's drums just make the song sound awesome. And Jimmy Page's solo was voted the greatest rock solo of all time. And the way that Robert Plant ends the song just sends a chill down your spine. By far the best rock song in the history of rock.

Its live at new york is too unbelievable to be called a song. Period

I love this song. and I've always loved it.

Good song. No Orbison on this list makes it silly.

A perfect song, given life by a perfect voice. - jerryw08

What the hell?! This song should easily be way higher on this list! I think this should be at the top 20. - johnpaularguelles

Not only am I currently listening to this song, But it was what prompted me to look up the most beautiful rock songs.

Why isn't this in top ten?

Very beautiful song

The last verse of this song is the most heart breaking and emotional beautiful piece of song I have experienced

Other songs in the list are better, no doubt. What I love most about this piece of music is that Keyboard part towards the end of the song.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Yeah
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine!

Brings tears to my eyes evertime I hear Freddie Mercury sing this... so heartfelt and beautiful.

Simply amazing, especially live versions.

So beautiful, I've never heard such an emotional love song in my life before, oh and by the way, why isn't king crimon's "Moonchild" #1 on this list? Its the symbol of beautiful!

Go muste mu de le as

Steve Perry captures the feeling of lonliness, and conveys the emotion well.

Love love loovvee this song! it's so sincere and even though it isn't rock, I find it so dark.

This GnR song is awesome! It has so much power, passion, and technique. Its such a beautiful song! Every time I listen to this song, I can't help but smile.. :) And Im only like 12 years old. :D Best GnR song. m/ - rockerchic18

not one of the best ever, THE best ever... from the piano solo to the guitar solo, we are blessed to have this song!!!

the song and the video is perfect. it suits each other - ronluna

BEST SONG EVER

Man oh man what a song. Just wanna know where is time of your life and hare to concentrate by the peppers

I love this song. I cry everytime when I hear this music.

Beautiful and very touching song. - Green_Day

It has 2 meanings... both of them love and lost! billie joe is talking about his father being dying which was a heartbreaking thing for him, and the video which is about the army. I love it because of the 2 meanings of the song.. it is the most beautiful song ever... <3!

Should be WAY higher. One of the greatest songs of the 20th and 21st Centuries. VERY beautiful too.

The fact that this masterpiece is FIFTEEN spots under Unholy ' Confessions makes me want to throw up.

Easily among the best songs of all time, second only to Stairway to Heaven.

Over-praised, over-played, and over-rated.

Though I think Heart's "Alone" should be close to the number one spot... "Time After Time"... Is honestly a breathtaking tune & probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It envokes such strong emotion & it's one of those songs that future artist should never attempt to cover. Such a timeless classic. And this is coming from a 24 year old guy laugh out loud - ModernMusicIsAcancer

Cindy Lauper is really good. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is a perfect song to dance to and "Time After Time" is a song to dream to.

Beautiful lyrics written by Leonard Cohen. The only song I love that I don't sing along with. I'm in awe every time I hear it.

The Buckley version is just another one of over 400 covers of this great song. By far the best is the original by Leonard Cohen.

I'm, always moved emotionally by this song!

The most beautiful song I know, besides Unchained Melody and Wish You Were Here. It is a rock song with so much emotion and so much beauty, it gets me every time. Especially if you listen to the Rattle and Hum live version, it is breathtaking. Deserves to be way higher.

Discussion begins here with Hotel California and also Hey Jude. These are rock songs. - klander4

Love U2 and this song is amazing, inspiring and uplifting. I love how it starts off soft and gets louder. Another great song by U2 is One. Bonos voice is unique and beautiful. This song leaves me in amazement. Just listen, don't sing with it.

This is a great song, by Brian Wilson for his own Mother. Sir Paul McCartney agrees with me on this, having said it is the most beautiful song ever written. And dear Paul know what he is talking about.

So so SO heart-warming and beautiful. This makes me smile and cry. Just gorgeous. I'm off to listen to it... - Britgirl

The way Mercury drags his voice on some of the lyrics is really showing how extremely talented he was in his way of entertaining.
