Was going to go for Deep Purple 'Hush' but I think this one is my candidate. Ram Jam Band - 'Black Betty'. Love, love, love this.

I loved that too before i moved to Australia. Over exposed both original and a number of covers over here. Ruined it for me.

good shout on Hush though.

Seeing as this thread hasn't reached page 2 yet and we've already had Bohemian Rhapsody, Sweet Child O' Mine, Back in Black, Freebird and Kashmir I dare say that there's a very good chance that ANY candidate for greatest rock song ever is likely to have been over-played, over-covered and more than likely make an appearance on some horrendous Jeremy Clarkson Driving Rock compilation album.

true enough but this is overplayed like i have never known (before moving to Australia anyway). I think some Australian radio stations only have three records

If the criterion is that it hasn't been overplayed then I change my nomination to:

The Godfathers - Birth School Work Death. Seriously, check this absolute beauty from the 80s out. Absolutely effing superb.

Definitely falls in the harder end of the rock spectrum, but after seeing it live last week it's definitely up there for me.
