Re: Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time

Any best of rock song list without the Stones 'Jumpin Jack Flash'
is a highly suspect list. That has to be near the top ten somewhere.
Much better song than "Brown Sugar". (although that's a good one too).

Actually Fats Domino is missing too. (I'm Walking)
One of the first rock songs that was rock n roll before they
even had a name to call the music. Kinda the end of the big band
era and the lead in period to rock n roll. (In fact the sax just
wails on that song). Just because I'm young doesn't mean I haven't
been brought up on some classic good stuff.

Ah this list is the same cliche list they keep putting out over and over.

I mean how does Seven Nation Army get into the top 21 position ?? say what ??

Rolling Stone has apparently become just another rag from
when the time my parents and their friends thought it was
a great publication.
