If they were going to make a Guns N Roses song #1, it should have been "Sweet Child O'Mine". I can't believe "Iron Man" didn't even make the cut...

[AlamoSpursFan]

All of the other nonsense on this list aside, the fact that Creed made the list renders it complete and utter crap.

[Spurminator]

Per VH1, there are at least 100 better hard rock songs than "Purple Haze."

I Believe in a Thing Called Love > Purple Haze
Higher > Purple Haze
Seventeen > Purple Haze
Party Hard > Purple Haze
Cherry Bomb > Purple Haze
Talk Dirty to Me > Purple Haze
Bawitdaba > Purple Haze
Kiss Me Deadly > Purple Haze

i thought you would be more concerned with a haggar song being ranked ahead of any van haggar.

[Spurminator]

:lol The 5150 album should've been numbers 5-13 but that's another debate.

[ashbeeigh]

I hate when they do these coundown shows and put the full list online before the countdown show begins...there is no reason to watch the show if I already know the damn answer.

[AlamoSpursFan]

Welcome to the Jungle's not even the best track on Appetite...

Rocket Queen, My Michelle, and Mr. Brownstone are all better than VH1's Top 100 Hard Rock Songs, IMO.

I found the full list on a forum today and it was shown last week, I don't think VH1 put the list out ahead of time...

[JudynTX]

We watched this. :rolleyes @ Guns n Roses being #1. Pffft.....it should have been Back in Black (which was #2 BTW). :ihit

[CuckingFunt]

Was it a new one? Or the same countdown (hosted by Carmen Electra, I think) they've been showing for a couple years?

[ORION]

75% of those are not even rock let alone "Hard" rock

[JudynTX]

It was a brand new list. Bret Michaels hosted it. Man whore. :lol

Well I don't know about this one but I know they did it with the rap songs and the teen wonder songs (the ones that I like...lol)

[Drachen]

What? No Jethro Tull? I mean with them being the "Best Heavy Metal Band" I would have assumed the would at least make the list!

[manufor3]

most of that list was crap

[mexicanjunior]

90. Jethro Tull - Aqualung

I really don't like that song much...

[baseline bum]

Creed is hard rock?

[JudynTX]

Marilyn Manson is hard rock? I thought he was Death Metal.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Hmmm, so you have the Pumpkins, Creed and the Foo Fighters on this list but not the Clash?

Forget it, I just saw Andrew WK on the list.

[ORION]

Black Sabbath- Heaven and Hell should have been much higher or lower ...which ever is better

[Spurminator]

Ba
wit
da
bah
........

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

That's one of the lamest lists evah.

[mexicanjunior]

42. The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go

[JoeChalupa]

Bohemian Rhapsody didn't make the list.
My list would be different but everyone has different tastes so I rarely agree with them.

[dirk4mvp]

Why don't you guys post your top 100 in this thread if you disagree with it so much?

[JoeChalupa]

Why don't you guys post your top 100 in this thread if you disagree with it so much?

I'd rather just disagree with it very much.

[dirk4mvp]

I'd rather just disagree with it very much.



Well then you're retarded.

[BruceBowenFan]

I can't believe master of puppets is not on there.

[JoeChalupa]

Well then you're retarded.

Thank you.

[dirk4mvp.]

That is the lamest most retarded list I've ever read.

[BruceBowenFan]

That is the lamest most retarded list I've ever read.

:tu

[mexicanjunior]

I can't believe master of puppets is not on there.

Of all the Metallica songs they could have picked from, I was hoping it wasn't "Enter Sandman". "Master of Puppets", "Fade to Black" and "One" would have all been acceptable...

[BruceBowenFan]

And i would agree.
