Rock songs about Rock that don't suck...

Well, I liked Rock and Roll from Led Zep IV when I was younger. It's still OK.

I liked Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll just 'cause she was so grungy before we had grunge.

The Who have already been mentioned.

The Stones It's Only Rock n' Roll was kind of decadent and didn't suck.

Alice Cooper's Be My Lover was a great song. I still like it.

Pink Floyd's Welcome to the Machine and Comfortably Numb seem to be OK.

The whole Ziggy Stardust album seemed to be rock-referring.

Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water and Grand Funk's We're an American Band were rock about rock and hold up well after all these years.

Dire Straights Money for Nothin'?

Guns and Roses Welcome to the Jungle? Not sure if that counts.

Not really a Don McLean or Elton fan but Bennie and the Jets and American Pie were well regarded.

OK, I'll go think of crappy movies about the movies now...
