If they count as what you're talking about, then Born to Run and Like a Rolling Stone for me.

No songs I like are classed as legendary, though they should be.

OK, that's freaky. Those are literally the first two songs that came to my mind.

It is in my book. I love that song.

For me it would be Hey Jude.

Or Red House.

Or Sober.

or....

JEEZE I can't make up my mind.

I know they're Metal, but to the average listener, they're just Rock. Incidentally, Black Sabbath were the band that introduced me to Metal, and anything heavier than Europe and Whitesnake, at age 5. So if I must, must, must pick a classic rock track, I'll go for Stargazer.

Black Sabbath was how I got into metal as well :P. I've gotten into a lot more metal since, but Black Sabbath and Paranoid are still two of my all-time favorite albums.

You sir, are win! Anyone who gets into Metal through Black Sabbath deserves some street cred. I'm a Dio era fan primarily, but love the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album. On a final note, I think we'd best let this thread get back on topic....

Okay, I'll make this my last comment on this topic :P.

I actually got into Sabbath through the Dio era, and for a while I preferred it. Nowadays I prefer the Ozzy era, although I think Heaven and Hell is an absolutely fantastic album. I also love Dio's works with other bands (Rainbow, Dio, Heaven & Hell). Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is a great album, but I like Black Sabbath, Paranoid, and Vol 4 all more. To each his own, though :P.

I actually don't care for many "legendary" songs, but I do love "My Generation" by The Who.

I still think the original Dylan version is the best. I think he captured the emotion of the song better than anyone.

  1. My favorite is the one from 5 Long Years. I can listen to it over and over.
  2. I like Light My Fire, but I think Break On Through or The End would be more legendary. My fav? Roadhouse Blues. Epic.
  3. Soul Sacrifice anyone? :D
