You know, there's one I consistently forget in these lists and shouldn't. I've been listening to the 62 Star Club live performances and am reminded again of how hard this sucker rocks and how much it anticipates even trends like punk:
the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There".
Well we all shine on--like the moon and the stars and the sun.
-- John Lennon
Couple more for the list:
Ted Nugent: Great White Buffalo
Canned Heat: Goin' Home
Playing guitar and never playing for others is like studying medicine and never working in a clinic.
Some good rockers missing from the list:
Aerosmith - Eat The Rich
Guns 'N Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine, Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City
Black Sabbath - Paranoid, N.I.B
Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane
Iron Maiden - Fear of The Dark, Two Minutes To Midnight
And hell yeah, I Saw Her Standing There is one bad-donkey rocker, once again proving that as much as The Stones did for rock and roll, The Beatles paved the way for so much more.
Also, since we're branching off into some good ol' punk rockers, may I suggest the following classics to start us off:
The Clash - I Fought The Law
The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop
Henry Garza, Saul Hudson, and Darrell Abbott could not be here tonight, but they all had sex and are proud to announce the birth of their two-headed baby, Rodya S. Thompson.
- Paraphrased from the Tenacious D series
That one by whitesnake that goes "Here I go again on my own! Going down the only road I've ever known!" C'mon, you know you turn it up when it comes on.
