I hate Dr. Feelgood. I hate everything Crue did after Theater of Pain.

You Give Love a Bad Name? Please. That's not hard rock. That's formula pop.

Still of the Night is one of the greatest songs of all-time.

I have no beef with Pearl Jam, but I would have picked something other than Evenflow -- Black, Rear-View Mirror?

Pleasantly surprised at Anthrax's Madhouse being on the list.

Cherry Pie? See above for You Give Love a Bad Name.

The Final Countdown? Why? That song is all synthesizer.

Seventeen? Feh! What's with all the Winger? They blew!

Turn Up the Radio? Hideous!

Altogether, a pretty solid list. You're never going to come up with a list of 100 that will please everyone.

First off Barracuda wasn't one there twice. It was 30 something, wasn't on the list twice.

And while I missed the last hour...what the fuck? 7? Watch any sports game and you always hear Teen Spirit as much as Welcome to the Jungle. Teen Spirit is way more hard rocking than any shit GnR put out.....Hi Axl.....Hi Axl. Fuck You Axl. At least we beat Pearl Jam. I guess I'm fine with Whole Lotta Love being where it is, but if I were to be non biased, I'd still put Teen Spirit higher than that. After it's done you wanna kill someone or break something, after Led Zep you're like ok how long will the next solo be?

And Van Halen blows, so does Montley Crue. Fucking hideous, awful, music put out by both those shit bands. Maybe if they didn't snort lines of ants those mother fuckers might make something worth listening to, maybe. There are no redeeming qualities in any of those shit 80's hair bands.

And yes, Fuck Winger.

First off Barracuda wasn't one there twice. It was 30 something, wasn't on the list twice.

Maybe its there twice cause it simply rocks so damn hard.

Motley Crue's "Looks That Kill" is a blazing rocker, that would have had my vote.

[Chris]

Although Welcome To The Jungle is an ALL-TIME song, it does NOT rock harder than Back In Black or Paranoid.

[Chris]

One other small gripe.

If there were going to be a Van Halen song on there, it needed to be something off of Fair Warning or Women and Children First - not Van Halen's most popular or commercial material, but their hardest rocking for sure.

Was glad to see Joan Jett on there. Not sure why Cretin Hop or Blitzkrieg Bop weren't on there - but the Ramones were at the distinct disadvantage of not be classified as a Hard Rock band per say.

Overall, solid list.

#25

[$heriff Tom]

I did some checking and # 6 should indeed be Heart's "Barracuda" and # 34 is actually Def Leppards "Rock Rock (Till You Drop).

[Chris]

Ahh my fault. I stand corrected.

GLAD to see The Ramones on there.
