Greatest Rock Anthem for the Generations

shilala

Lifer
Immediately, Stairway and Freebird come to mind.
I'm thinking on the lines of Bruce-Thunder Road, Mellencamp-Jack and Diane, Billy Joel-Pianoman.
Name a rock Anthem that best defines your generation. The song that comes on at 1:00 am and everyone in the whole bar joins along singing.
Which song is that for you?
 
i personally think mellencamp's pink houses gets more sing along than jack & diane, but that's me🙂

always a crowd favorite at any bar - sir mix-a-lot: baby got back
 
My generation? The Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch.

Yeah, my generation isn't too much into the rock thing, but we like our gratuitous sex.
 
Thunder Road!!! Definitely. I had a girl tell me she would run off with whoever sang that to her.

EDIT: BTW, I'm 21 years old. Thunder Road is my favorite song.

nobody at the bar is gonna sing it though
Who?

?
Mogwai like the creature in the Movie "Gremlins?"

Mogwai as in the band. That is what those creatures were called though, yes. It also means "monster" in chinese.

Live version of "2 Rights Make 1 Wrong" to give you an idea. Check out Fear Satan though, like I said - best song ever.

dammit, blink-182

If the second is anything like the first, it's not the greatest rock anthem of the day it was released.

I'd say maybe "Hotel California" or "American Pie". I don't know if the second one is really rock or not, but I don't know anyone who doesn't watch MTV that doesn't like that song.

<--- Does not watch mtv and does not like "American Pie" 😛

I do like "Hotel California" though
 
Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer always gets a huge response. I think Sweet Child O' Mine normally does as well. But in Clemson, it's without a doubt Livin' On A Prayer.

Edit: This is based on the OP's statement of everyone in the bar singing at 1am.
 
I don't consider any punk band to be rock, they are.......um.....horrible?

Always a crowd pleaser at bars seem to be the 80's hair band songs, Here I Go Again- Whitesnake, Pour Some Sugar On Me- Def Leppard. Not really rock but Hank Williams Jr. songs always seem to be popular in bars as well.
