Single Most Rocking Tune You Know
Purely subjective survey: List the single MOST ROCKING tune you know/like/favor. I expect the choices will be highly subjective and idiosyncratic, and why not.
Mine: Fishbone's "So Many Millions" from The Reality of My Surroundings (1991). The last 75 seconds rock harder than anything else I can bring to mind. Love that track.

Nice thread idea, Vince!
I suspect my choices would change with the weather, but today, off the top of my head, I'll pick:
The Who, "The Real Me" Slashing attack, powerhouse drums, the bassline of all time and Daltrey in full-throated roar.

The Real Me is my favorite Who tune, btw.
Rockingest tune? That's a tough one. Let me think on that and get back to you.

Can-Mother Sky and Funkadelic-Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock Music are the first two to come to mind, I'm sure there are plenty I'm forgetting...

Now you're talking! I haven't yet heard the Can tune, but the Funkadelic number seriously rocks!
(though "Maggot Brain" is actually the most impressive tune from that album, for the Hendrixian guitar work.)

Hard to argue with Doc's choice. Another great canonical one would be "Highway to Hell." Right now, though, I'd still put forth Mastodon's insanely good "Blood and Thunder."

Rainbow: "Kill the King" or "A Light in the Black"
Deep Purple: "Highway Star"
Who: "Trick of the Light" (because The Real Me with Entwistle's thundering bass was already mentioned)
Black Sabbath: "Paranoid" or "Neon Knights"

Vince, hard to believe how hard Fishbone could rock; I'll have to dig out my old cassettes and give them a spin this weekend. IIRC they bring the house on "Sunless Saturday" as well...
I'm sticking with Larry on this one. Others that popped up:
Meat Puppets - Scum
Iggy Pop - Lust for Life

First thought: Bobby Fuller's I Fought The Law.
Or as perverted by notorious Melbourne rocker-cum-cartoonist Fred Negro:
"Drinking beer in the hot sun, I fought a slab* and the slab won..."
* = Aussie for shrink-wrapped passel of 24 cans of beer.

Hey, all votes for The Stooges or MC5 are valid, also. And a recent Iggy Pop tune, Little Know It All, rocks very hard.

Feel free to substitute "Black Dog" if you want.

Digging back to the stuff I used to rock to in high school, Metallica jumps to mind first and foremost:
"Creeping Death" from 1984's Ride the Lightning
"One" from ...And Justice For All

Yes, the drum/guitar intro lick on SS really kicks so hard. Makes me air-drum.
