100 greatest guitar songs
I was out at the DZ this weekend and there was a copy of Rolling Stone sitting out there and the cover story was "The 100 greatest guitar songs of all time". I took a glance through the list that they came up with and agreed with a majority of them but had to disagree with their placement of a few also.
Here is the top 10 they picked. I agree with all of them except 3 & 9. Each one changed or expanded the sounds that were being generated at the time. Some of them really pushed the cultural limits and others transended them completely. Its a really good list if you have a minute to take a look at it.
1. "Johnny B. Goode," Chuck Berry
2. "Purple Haze," The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1967)
3. "Crossroads" Cream (1968)
4. "You Really Got Me" The Kinks (1964)
5. "Brown Sugar" The Rolling Stones (1971)
6. "Eruption" Van Halen (1978)
7. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" The Beatles (1968)
8. "Stairway to Heaven" Led Zepplin (1971)
9. "Statesboro Blues" The Allman Brothers Band (1971)
