With this being Super Bowl weekend, Billboard has compiled a list of "The 100 Greatest Jock Jams of All Time," meaning the top songs synonymous with sports.
No surprise that Queen's "We Will Rock You" with its syncopated stomping and hand claps tops the list. Brian May is happy to be synonymous with sports - "That makes me feel very proud and very happy because I suppose music has then gone to a different place. It's not just something that you switch on on the radio in the morning. It's become part of your life and part of what makes you excited about certain things. You identify it with moments of triumph, and that's a great thing."
Here's the Top 10:
1. Queen - "We Will Rock You"
2. Guns N' Roses - "Welcome to the Jungle"
3. Naughty By Nature - "Hip Hop Hooray"
4. Zombie Nation - "Kernkraft 400"
5. The White Stripes - "Seven Nation Army"
6. Survivor - "Eye of the Tiger"
7. Gary Glitter - "Rock & Roll Part II"
