The Top 40 Rock Countdown

Posted on Facebook & Twitter as a daily countdown to Rocktober, it was awesome pulling together my view on the 40 most awesome rock songs of all time. Seriously, give it a go! Try pulling together your top 5 / 10 / 40. Go on. It’s damn hard to distil it down and you’ll keep thinking of more and more tracks that just have to fit in there somewhere … a great excuse to listen to a load of your favourites. It’s like therapy, man. Your definition of rock can be as sweeping or narrow as you like, just get stuck in.
