AC/DC - High Voltage, Rock 'n' Roll Singer, There's Gonna Be Some Rockin', and Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution
The Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock 'n' Roll
Thin Lizzy - The Rocker
The Sex Pistols - EMI Unlimited Edition (okay, so it's about the record industry and how EMI Records got rid of the Pistols after their appearance on the US Today programme, but it still counts, right?)

Kiss-Rock and Roll all night
Ozzy-Rock n' Roll rebel
Led Zeppelin-Rock and Roll
Guns n' Roses- Welcome to the Jungle, Mr.Brownstone and Paradise City and You'll probably pass on this one but to me , these three songs seem to describe Rock n' Roll

Think about it lyrics like " When you're high , you never wanna come down." That sounds like saying you can't be better than a Rock n' Roll star.

Def Leppard-Lets get rocked



Thats not about rock n roll as such - that's about getting laid, ''rocked'' in that song is a pure euphamism for sex

That's interesting, especially when you consider that the term "rock 'n' roll" itself used to be a euphemism for sex among African-Americans back in the 40s.

I'm quite sure that line is about high on drugs...

Ramones - Do You Remember Rock And Roll Radio

We need change, we need it fast
Before rock's just part of the past
'Cause lately it all sounds the same to me
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh


Ramones knew it 25 years ago.
