10 of the most distinctly creative and unique Rock songs of all time.
Not just looking at greatest or most successful rock songs, but they did have to be widely known to qualify. These are especially unique, ground breaking songs that brought a new, unique sound to the genre, especially if it still stands as unique after time passes.
Some bands could have had multiple entries, but I limited it to 1 per band.
My list, from my own perspective, so likely heavily 70s and 80s centric.
I'm sure I missed some great ones, so add them to the list. Remember, not just great songs, but ground breaking and well known.
