I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

Well, this tune moved me enough to buy my first record when I was about ten years old:

That is a good question, but man, is it huge.

This one gives me goosebumps

It's hard for me to say just one, but now i'm listening a lot of bluegrass tunes. This is one of my favorites:

How about....





Probably my favourite guitar solo ever

"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Always liked Down by the River, by Neil Young. One of the best guitar solos ever.

You got the Sun, You got the Moon,
and you've got
The Rolling Stones

I am glad you posted some of the songs that had a strong impress on you because there are some of them that I thought I had forgotten !!!

For instance,still ill,I had forgotten how many times I used to listen to this Chicago's song .Now I've found it again,it's like the madeleine de Proust" ,you know....

I realise I am much more on rock than on blues or country -unfortunately for sure -

Some good ones on your list, Andrea! More people need to get hip to "Essence". It's a deeply sexual and moving song. "Simple Twist of Faith" is fantastic. You have good taste.

Ooh La La - Faces also like Rod's solo version
Beyond the Sea - Bobby Darin
The Way You Look Tonight - Sinatra
Girl of the North Country - Dylan with Johnny Cash
Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
That's All Right - Elvis
Subteranean Homesick Blues - Dylan
Caroline, No - Beach Boys
Strawberry Fields Forever - Beatles
Gettin' In Tune - The Who
London Calling - The Clash
When the Music's Over Doors

I could go on

Great list, slew.

I love the Shondells and Cheap Trick (among many others).

Here's my 15 year old:





Sweet Cherry Wine - a great anti-war song





Cheap Tric - a great blend of pop and POWER. What a voice Robin Zander has!

thanks 71Tele,
I like your taste too. Tom waits is really one of the biggest guys still around. 2008 shows in Milano were absolutely fantastic. And Christmas card from a hooker in minneapolis was one of the first tom waits song i learned by heart; the other one was i never talked to strangers.....
