It's my list and I spent a lot of time comparing songs.
Bodyslam and Cherri Bomb are in the top 10 and five songs from 2010 are among the 26 top songs on my list which originally covered 40 years and has been updated to include songs from 2010. Songwriting, melodies, singing, and many other factors were considered. I may add my insights as to why I chose some songs ahead of others, but it's rather difficult to explain in detail. Songwriting was very important and it didn't matter to me whether a band member or someone else wrote the song, so covers or remakes of songs were eligible to get on my list and be considered for the list.
Obviously, most listeners can tell that some songs had world-class drumming and others had great lead and backing vocals, or both. Drummers and vocalists make a big difference for bands and their songs. For other songs, guitar playing, bass playing, or lyrics were among the reasons for success. And of course there were songs that had everything. In my opinion, all of these songs were great and most had more than one reason for their greatness.
This is my rock songs list, including crossover songs, but it's possible that a few songs from this list would be on other lists, such as alternative, metal, progressive rock, jazz, pop/rock, or pop lists. There's also a very good chance that these artists/bands could have other songs on those lists, and there also would be many other artists/bands with songs on those lists. Words of caution: Don't expect all of these songs to be on the list at the end of the decade or even in 2012, if I decide to update the list again.
