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

Was listening to the song and wanted to see it's rightful place on a list of beautiful rock songs. This list serves this truly beautiful poetic song justice. Rock on!

Every time the last verse comes on, I think of the beauty of the end

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.

This song gets me through hard times
Whenever I feel like I'm losing everything, I think to myself "mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be"

In my life, I use this a way to remember that things turn out okay in the end

And yes I realize I accidentally used two Beatles song titles in that last sentence

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

Simply amazing, especially live versions.

Beautiful, amazing and simple song from the greatest singer of all time. - bzsuzsi0128

One of the best love song of all time.

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

The most beautiful song ever... Micheal sings it with such emotion and love in his heart. He is so into it... love you MJ xo

Most beautiful song of ALL TIME, not only the rock and roll era. Far more beautiful, imaginative and inspirational than Stairway to Heaven.

THE MOST STREAMED SONG OF THE 20TH CENTURY!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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

I'm obsessed with queen

Does anyone here like Queen? 😖 - Billyv

Great song writing from the most innovative guitarist ever.

Never really was much of a fan of jimi hendrix, but this song was great. - PotBellyPup

I love little wing

This is my 3rd favorite song of all time. I was going to vote for You are not Alone by MJ but I just had to make sure Yesterday was here! This has to be number 1!

This absolutely deserves to be higher - was gonna vote for "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen for the same reason but this is historically significant as well.

One of the best songs ever written! Everything about this song is wonderful!

Beautiful song and extremely sinister - MinistryMonster

IMHO - should be # 1!!! Yeah! Delicious! - ColdNordicGirl

It is an amazing song.

If you truly listen to this song and hear and understand the lyrics, then you can feel the desperation of the meanig and it brought tears to my eyes more than once.

The light-heavy blend of guitars and piano take you away on a cloud.

This is my daddy's favourite song.

I love this song

Wish you were here. Better than the Dark Side of the Moon

The lyrics are so beautiful

Wish You Were Here in 27th? Are you OK? - PositronWildhawk

There is a reason why this song has been remade over and over again, and there is a reason why not a single remake has come close to surpassing this version. It is an amazing song paired with the perfect voice to give it wings.

I once heard someone sing it as beautifully as the Righteous Brothers. It was just an unknown black man who was singing it along with the piano in my dorm. He didn't know anyone was listening. I instantly fell in love with the guy.

Everyone should listen this song... Its lyric is awesome... And its guitar riffs and drum work is just awesome... Check this out man

Well it should be Top 10 it was my cousins Wedding song - Greenday

"Simply one of the most soul-peircing songs ever written. - aman28

The best Metallica song ever and one of the best songs written of any genre. Should be at least in the top ten - Danielsun182

Amazing Masterpiece, why is it all the way the hell down here?!?!?!?
Should Be in the top 5, maybe even the! st Place
ALL HAIL Metallica! Kill 'Em All - Metallicakid_136

Not in the top 10... that's bogus! Everyone knows these guys are the best. - vadnj0

Seriously this is a great song deserves to be in the top ten

Spoiled facist brat!

your ugly

America

His cameo made my want to throw my T.V. from the roof.

This song could save your life.

Most beautiful song ever in the history of PUNK! - gberisha
