Greetings Friends and Fiends, Ladies and Germs...

I am in the midst of compiling a list of the greatest axe tunes ever - just one more insidious thread in the tapestry of my nefarious and ongoing plan for World Domination! Don't worry, it'll be cool... lots'a free stuff! ;) - and I would welcome/appreciate your input! All comers welcome: Rock, Folk, Funk, Punk, R&B, Blues, Classical, Country... Whatever! Got more than one? Bring it! More? Do it up!

A brief caveat: When I say "Guitar Songs" I mean guitar driven songs. A classic example would be "Do You Feel Like We Do" (-Peter Frampton) or "Hideaway" (-John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers). Don't misunderstand, songs like "Turnstile Blues" (-Autolux) and "All You Need Is Me" (-Morrissey) are great tunes, but they're more percussion driven. Savvy?

Please try to include as much of the following info as you can:
(Don't sweat it tho, just whatever you can remember)
Title:
Artist:
Album:
Year:
Genre: Here I mean what you consider it to be. Ex: Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" is considered pure Blues by some due to its provenance as a cover of an old Kansas Joe McCoy/Memphis Minnie delta blues tune, while other might call it R&B or even straight Rock & Roll.
Rendition/Version: If you are referring to a specific cut. Ex: Seether's "Broken" with Amy Lee from Evanescence as opposed to the album cut.

Come one, come all. No song too lame or obscure. Go nutz.

probably wont be many that were released after you were born.. why?
because it was about MUSIC then. the best musicians made it to air, not the best looking musicians like now a days.
