2. "Highway to Hell" is such an excellent song.
Me, I think it's "Fuck You, Man" by Pussy Galore.

7. Rave On ~ Buddy Holly
We-a-he-a-hell, the little things you say and do
Make me want to be with you-ah-ou


Rave on, it's a crazy feelin' and
I know it's got me reelin'
I'm so glad... that you're revealin'
Your love for me

Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me... not to be lonely
Tell me... you love me only
Rave on for me

10. There are too many for me to name one
To me, that's like trying to eat one chip or M & M, or strawberry!

I like "Highway to Hell", but like "You Shook Me All Night Long" better, by AC/DC

There is one from 1971 or 72 that I cannot think of the title at the moment that used to be played in discos, but it was my favorite to dance to, and seemed like it always brought out folks to the floor.

Will respond again when I think of it. I can't get T-Rex's "Bang a Gong" out of my head at the moment!

15. For what I consider to be pure Rock n' roll
Highway to hell is hard to beat. Rock n' roll ain't noise pollution is also a favorite of mine.

17. All She Wants To Do Is Rock - Wynonie Harris
I couldn't find a site with the whole song, but this link at CD Universe has a good clip of this song (and others) by Wynonie...

http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6135177/a/Good+Rockin'+Tonight:+The+Very+Best+Of+Wynonie+Harris.htm

Also - Check out "Lollipop Mama" and "Keep On Churnin'" for a couple of the dirtiest R&B songs ever!

19. The New York Dolls version of 'Give Her a Great Big Kiss'
comes to mind right away. It's got the girl group type harmonies, the 'call', and they even wander into sort of a reprise of the Isley Bros 'Shout' at the end. All that combined with the power and impact of punk rock that was about to emerge created IMO a perfect RnR song. (even if the band itself was imperfect!)
