re: The Perfect Rock Song

Throw a dart and a track listing including everything off Let There Be Rock, Powerage, and Highway to Hell, and chances are you hit one.

About half the tunes on Toys in the Attic from Aerosmith, Electric from The Cult, almost all of Appetite for Destruction get there for me.

Beyond that, it would take defining "rock." I love to throw on "Live Wire" or "Too Young to Fall in Love" by the Crue or "A Beginner's Guide to Suicide" by Orange Goblin, for instance, but I'm not sure they're "rock" in the strictest sense even if, for me, they scratch the same itch as other more classic fare. Hell, "Cowboys from Hell" is another one that I'm as likely to throw on as "Foreplay/Long Time" for a sound track to the exact same mood.
