Rock On, Rockall. (The Wolfe Tones; seems to employ both meanings of "rock" in a very lively singable song that my daughter loved as a young girl in part because she could sing words that were not used in general speech in our household.)

PoppaGator has it right. apparently the idea behind this year's slogan is that reading is cool. We are having fun with it anyway!

And thank you all so much, you have all come up trumps.

The way I understand the slogan "Reading Rocks" ~ reading is way cool, in other words ~ it would seem to me that "rock" the verb does qualify, but that "rock" the noun (as in a stone, boulder, etc.) is off-topic.

Can't think of a single additional song to add this already-pretty-comprehensive list. The first one that sprang to my mind was "Rock Me Baby (Rock Me All Night Long)," which didn't appear anywhere in the first several posts, but sixtieschick came up with it soon enough.

Though this is very comprehensive and undoubtedly more fun, try putting the word 'rock' into the search function of Amazon and that will probably do the trick!

We are looking at two different things here. The noun is a hardened aggregate of minerals, the verb's mean to shake or sway.

I am looking for song titles that feature the word "rock". This year's theme for Oz Children's Book Week is "Reading Rocks", and as the Director of Visual Aesthetics in the library (that means I get to do book displays *grin*) I am looking for ideas to make a poster featuring song titles. We have some LP album covers for display, CDs hanging from the ceiling, and a large chunk of someone's garden as well (for a real rock!).
So far I have :

Rock around the clock
Crocodile rock
Eagle rock
Rock and roll high school - Ramones
Big rock candy mountain
Rock island line
Rock the casbah - Clash
For those about to rock we salute you - AC/DC
Rock in the USA - Mellencamp
Rock DJ - Robbie Williams
Rock lobster - B52s

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
