R&R Hall of Fame best rock

   Well, well, well... these are the best rocks ever according to the (in)famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 
For me half of the list are not real rocks but coming from people that know nothing about the style we may find some good options. BTW, I vote for Hendrix.

	It is obvious that Stairway to Heaven, Yesterday, Layla, Imagine are very good songs but they are IMO much more love songs or ballads than really rocks - although Stairway to Heaven shows a real rock section near the end. So the R&R Hall of Fame should list them as best songs not as best rocks!

	IMO "Stairway to Heaven" is the anthem of rock music in general. The second vote from the list would be "Purple Haze" My second vote not from the list would be "Bohemian Rhapsody"

	Stairway to Heaven would be too obvious a choice, so I voted for Light My Fire.
