I'm not talking about all the ancestral heritage rock that helped to build Rock and Roll into the glorious thing it became. If I was, the list would be dominated by Buddy Holly and Elvis songs, which are good, no doubt.
What I am talking about is, a long time from now, who will be used as references of the classic peak of awesome that Rock And Roll became in the late 60s early 70s?
To me this requires a good guitar element, and a feeling that the band just loved playing the song and was sort of just relishing it, not in a hurry to put it out in a mechanistically perfect way like the Beatles did.
A bluesy sort of rolling and playing around seems to be the surest sign of a song played well.
Anyway, here is my
Top Ten Rock songs of all time
Who do you think belongs there too?
10) Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar
9) Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

5) James Gang - Funk # 49
