If you were building a city on rock and roll, which song(s) would you choose?

Marconi plays the Mamba,
Listen to the radio
Don’t you remember?
We built this city..

Ironically enough Starship would not be on my list.

BLASPHEMER!

“jeremy” by pearl jam

The Clash
AC/DC
Rolling Stones
Nirvana
Sex Pistols
Queen
Lynyrd Skynyrd

They helped to build the city but the foundation was set by:

Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Jimi Hendrix Beatles and many more.

Gotta be Back in Black…you build a city on that, you can bring all the wrecking balls you want, and all you’ll do is cut it loose from the noose that’s kept it hangin around.

“Stonehenge,” by Spinal Tap.

Stonehenge! ‘Tis a magic place
Where the moon doth rise with a dragon’s face
Stonehenge! Where the virgins lie
And the prayers of devils fill the midnight sky…

Chuck Berry
Marilyn Manson
Pete Seeger
Neil Young
Rush
Buddy Holly

Some Red Hot Chili Peppers

and some Metallica

and some Rolling Stones

and some Zep

and last but not least Foo Fighters

Arghhh, Starship?!? Really? You’re joking, right?

If we’re gonna build a city on rock and roll we gotta start with the foundation. Therefore I propose, Rock Around the Clock by Bill Hailey and the Comments, Peggy Sue by Buddy Holly, Chantilly Lace by The Big Bopper, and Blueberry Hill by Fats Domino. All those other songs are artists are great and have their place, but to build a city one must begin at the beginning.

I wouldn’t put Starship anywhere in my rock-n-roll city, they belong out in the burbs IMHO. Though I would put Jefferson Airplane pretty close to downtown.

somewhere in indiana. you know, the whole “pink house” thing.

@syz: I’M NOT LISTENING! I’M NOT LISTENING! I’M NOT LISTENING!!

The Starship are mere reporters. I’d like to “imagine” a city built by Lennon with Dylan keeping it real.

A city built on rock and roll would be structurally unsound.
