The Perfect 3 Minute Rock Song
« on: August 06, 2019, 07:15:21 AM »
I was listening to A Passage to Bangkok by Rush yesterday and was thinking "is there a better 3 minute rock song out there"; I've given it some thought and there are some which match it but I'm not sure of any that better it.

The rule is simple any rock song which is between 3:00 and 3:59. I need to give it some more thought but the list at the moment is:

A Passage to Bangkok - Rush
Burning Times - Iced Earth
The One To Sing The Blues - Motorhead
Flight of Icarus - Iron Maiden

I suspect you guys have your own thoughts.

Oh man...there's like a gazillion.

Motörhead alone has too many to count.

Burning Times is a good pick from IE though...I'd add Greenface and 10000 Strong from them.

Agony And Ecstacy from Savatage

Futureal - Iron Maiden (Okay that actually clocks bit under 3 mins)

Sick Bubble Gum - Rob Zombie

Stand Up And Shout - DIO

Fireball - Deep Purple

Neon Knights, Psychophobia, The Mob Rules, Turn Up The Night - Black Sabbath

Runaround Man, Bomber, Terminal Show - Motörhead


Those all came from the top of my head without much thinking...I know I missed about a gazillion! ;D

"China Grove" by the Doobie Brothers. It ain't metal, but I'm always ready to listen to that tune! 3:14 of awesome.
