Damn thats a pretty good list to start with.

As far as Alice Cooper goes I would include Poison instead of School's Out. Maybe Enter Sandman by Metallica instead of AC/DC as well.

If I thought about it more though there's no way I could only pick five;)
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

"Anthem" to me has a meaning to it. It doesn't necessarily mean the greatest song or the best song, but something that totally gets a crowd going, has movements, or otherwise kicks fucking ass live.

1) Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
2) For Those About to Rock We Salute You - AC/DC
3) Freebird - Lynard Skynyrd
4) Do You Feel Like We Do - Peter Frampton
5) Bohemiam Rhapsody - Queen

Honorable mentions -
- Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf
- Dazed & Confused - LedZep
- You Can't Always Get What you Want - Stones
- I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night - KISS
- Anything off of Who's Next
- Edited to add - Live and Let Die - McCartney:)

Hard for me to pick five, or for exactly what an Anthem means to me. What the fuck do you expect? I'm deaf! :D

here's my list:

Thunderstruck - AC/DC
Who Made Who - AC/DC
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
London Calling - The Clash
Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who

I like them for the good sounds, good kick-ass songs...

My main reason for SHA over FreeBird.. was that maybe(?) FreeBird is over played ... still a 'kick arse' tune tho.



This was really an exercise for me (lazy bastard that I am) to find some more Big Stuff to put on my iPod - thanks everyone.B|B|



Check out some Budgie too.

3. Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith



This is one of my faves.:)

I'm an only child so no big brothers or sisters to introduce me to anything other than radio pop---but I took piano lessons. My teacher taught out of a rock & music shop. My father always dropped me off early. There I was, an innocent 5-year-old bending over to pick up the quarters outside that were glued down by the long-haired 80's rocker named Joey that worked the counter. [:/]:D

For whatever reason when someone played Aerosmith on the guitar or one of their songs came on over the intercom, I loved it. For me, Aerosmith is my all-time favorite band and holds a special place in my heart.:$:P

But, so does old school rock. I love almost everything else mentioned here, too.:)
Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
