Rolling Stones - You can't always get what you want
Eric Clapton - Cocaine

Maybe some Deep Purple song as well?
Shine on you Crazy Diamond wouldn't really be a good beginner's track and The Wall is vastly overrated.

Rolling Stones should be either Paint it Black or Give Me Shelter. I agree with Bob. Wish You Were Here is a good stand alone song. The Wall seems to only be good in the context of the entire album.

So many good choices already but I still have a few to add to your growing list:
Wilson Pickett - Land of a Thousand Dances.
The Doors- Light my Fire/The Crystal Ship (The End is also good but maybe on their second dose of rock :D )
Eagles- Hotel California
David Bowie- Rebel Rebel/Ziggy Stardust
Alice Cooper- Eighteen/Welcome To My Nightmare/School's Out

Just a few oldies but goldies we can't leave out.

I'll second Eric Clapton - Cocaine, though out of his solo Catalogue I'm partial to Tears in Heaven and Wonderful tonight
also, I'll second Derek & The Dominos - Layla

And what's this? Still no Creedence Clearwater Revival?

Choices for CCR are: Down on the Corner, Bad Moon Rising, Fortunate Son, or Looking Out My Backdoor. Personally, I Like Looking Out My Backdoor the best.

I've got to uphold the British front here:
Def Leppard - Photograph
Diamond Head - It's electric
Motorhead - Ace of spades
Saxon - Wheels of steel
Rainbow - Since you've been gone
Whitesnake - Fool for your loving
Yardbirds - For your love
The Who - Substitute
Cream - Sunshine of your love (a good way to get Eric Clpaton on the list for the third time)
The other british greats have already been mentioned I think.

I guess that most people taking their time to reply knows rock enough and so might be bored of the "too much listened song" such as stairway to heaven. I had a problem to include it in the list but lots of "best 100/500 rocks songs ever made" lists I came across on the internet have stairway on the top 5 if not the best rock song ever made. So, I am trying to make an introduction to rock for some guys, why wouldn't I include those songs ? Is immigrant song really better than stairway ?? This question is the same for nirvana and smell like teen spirit which was up the charts for so long compare to a lithium or come as you are.
Re.Lee wrote:Metallica - Enter Sandman (Master when they're more advanced :P )
As you are saying, shouldn't I keep those songs for when they'll be more advanced, when their ears can understand this music ?

And what did I do there, forget pink floyd ? Shame on me. Also wish you were here seems to be the right choice, I have a crush on brain damage.

I have absolutely no idea what to choose in french rock. I do have to say that we kinda suck in rock, we only know how to make electronic music. Still I wanted to put some rock songs. If you have any good idea with Gainsbourg which is rock enough, let me know...

So after your advices, here is what goes in:
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Down on the Corner
Bob Dylan - Like a rollin' stone
Pink floyd - Brain damage or Wish you were here

And what changes:
RATM - Killing in the name -> Renegades of funk
Nirvana - Smell like teen Spirit -> Come as you are
Oasis - Wonderwall -> Champagne Supernova
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven -> Immigrant Song (?)
Beatles - Twist and shout -> Revolution

For this result:
ACDC - Back in black
Aerosmith - Walk this way
Beach Boys - Surfing USA
Beatles - Revolution
Beck - Loser
Blur - Song 2
Bob Dylan - Like a rollin' stone
Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer
Chuck Berry - Johnny B good
Cranberries - Zombie
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Down on the Corner
Deep purple - Smoke on the water
Deftones - Passenger
Elvis Presley - Jailhouse rock
Gun's and roses - Welcome to the jungle
Jacques Dutronc - Et moi et moi et moi
James Brown - Feel good
Jefferson airplane - White rabbit
Jet - Will you be my girl
Jimmy Hendrix - hey joe
Joan Jett - I love rock and roll
Kings of Leon - The bucket
K'S choice - believe
Led zeppelin - Immigrant Song
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet home alabama
Metallica - Nothing else matters
Muse - Absolution

You still need some Van Halen. May i suggest Eruption into You Really Got Me. It's quick, catchy, light hearted, and showcases Eddie's guitar skills. Also, if the girls have virtually no exposure to western rock then they need to hear the songs we consider overplayed. These songs wouldn't be overplayed if they were's big hits in their respective times and seminal works of rock music in general. One other minor suggestion, for Eric Clapton another must-have would be Cream's cover of Crossroads.
Warhammer, at it's core, is a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. As long as all choices in an army book fall under these categories, with their inherent strengths and weaknesses, there is balance. Imbalance occurs when the designers make a Rock that is immune to Paper. Daemon Princes, Ironblasters, etc.

Hey man look fairly solid,might want to change the GNR over to Sweet Child of Mine or Paradise City instead of Welcome to the Jungle(Even though I love the song)And maybe Switch your ZZTOP to La Grange.
