Gotta be "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry. Whenever I think of "traditional" rock & roll, this song is always the first that pops into my head.

maybe not be the "best ever" but it is awesome for sure.

Frankenstein - Edgar Winter Group



All the players on that tune are tearing it up. And it is great from a composition stand point too. You can knock off some points for no vocals but still I think it deserves a mention.

I love The Who's Behind Blue Eyes. I guess that's because I am the evil man behind blue eyes.

But I gotta say I think U2's Bad is my favorite all time rock song.

Well, I just got through listening to Electric Ladyland for the umpteenth-hundred time, and I have to stand by what I said - it is Voodoo Child, Voodoo Child, Lord knows that it's Voodoo Child. It taps into all the roots of American music, then blows them all away. Between that song and Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue", one can learn everything essential in our musical culture.

Here's the scene...I'm in the eletric chair with one song request left. Give me a damn nice pair of headphones and put "Wish You Were Here" in. To top it off, play the Gold SBM CD version. Pull the handle as the winds blow at the end...

This tune automatically puts me in a diferent mood for 5 minutes. It reminds me of many things and most often reminds me of my college days. The beautiful 12-string intro and the haphazard rhyming lines, along with the subtle piano and organ make for a solid recording. It fades in, does what it was meant to do, and fades away. How could you ask for more?

I just listened to The Stooges doing Raw Power. I can't think of anything else to say.

I am with you on the Pink Floyd. They have a very special talent for taking you wherever they want you to be for the duration of a song.

I can still listen to the "Animals" album on repeat for days without thinking of changing it.

Layla ... love Clapton and Allman playing together.

Yeah, me too - but I much prefer the guitar dual they have in Key To The Highway. IMHO, the best song on that album, by far.
