Best Rock songs about . . . Rock N Roll

[ABC]

I know I am missing some obvious ones, but here's a list in no particular order.

Juke Box Hero - Foreigner
Shooting Star - Bad Company
Rock N Roll Fantasy - Bad Company
Johnny B Good - Chuck Berry
Sgt Peppers - Beatles
Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
Rock N Roll - Led Zeppelin (kind of about rock)
Crocodile Rock - Elton John

I thought of this topic today when I heard "Shooting Star", and was a bit surprised I couldn't come up with more songs written about rock and roll.

Of this group, I think "Juke Box Hero" is the best.

What do you ladies and gents think?

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll--AC/DC (also a pretty legitimate cover by Lucinda Williams)

[1979Shocker]

Here are a couple by Bob Seger
-Old Time Rock and Roll (think Tom Cruise)
-Rock and Roll Never Forgets

[ShockTalk]

Does "I Love Rock & Roll" by Joan Jett count? I've always like that song. Even though I liked Jefferson Airplane more than Starship, they had "We Built This City".

[The Mad Hatter]

American Pie by Don McLean is borderline. References are to both rock n roll and social events.

[Kung Wu]

Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley

[jdmee]

Turn the Page - BoB Seger
Rock N Roll all Night - Kiss
Have a Cigar - Pink Floyd.

Can't Stop The Rock - Apollo 440

Wow - I missed a ton of obvious and good songs. I think my favorites would be Billy Joel's, "Its Still Rock and Roll" or AC/DC's "Its a long way to the top."

[RoyalShock]

Wow - I missed a ton of obvious and good songs. I think my favorites would be Billy Joel's, "Its Still Rock and Roll" . . .

Any rock song with a sax solo has to be good.

Well, almost any.
