Baby Take Off Your Dress - Joe Cocker
(Can't listen to that song without visualizing Kim Basinger
stripping to it in 9 1/2 Weeks)

Eileen - Keith Richards - recorded post humously (?)
(He's been dead for year right? )

Holy Mother - Erci Clapton
(there's a riff on this one that screams/pleads from the
depths of hell)

The Extremist - Joe Satriani

The Stars Spangle Banner - Hendrix
(patriotism and glory as seen by the guy being shot at and
bombed, surrounded by the dead and dying)

Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits
(Knoffler can do kick as rock riffs or heart tuggers that'll
bring tears to your eyes)

Lay Lady Lay - Dylan - when he was actually singing

Just about anything by ZZ Tops (they do minor variations
of the same song - over and over and over again - and it
still kicks ass)

Blood on The Saddle - Tex Ritter

A Cripple on His Deathbead - Skip Spence - OAR album
he did EVERYTHING on it - played all the instruments,
wrote and sang the songs and recorded it all himself
trying to get out of a contract with Warner. The
"business" fried him - but once in a while, with a mike
in front of him and a guitar in his hand he'd come
back from where ever he normally was. If you were
lucky enough to be there it was something you remember
for a LONG time.

Anything by Les Paul - what a freakin' genious in so many
areas. Every electric guitar player should bow their heads
at the mention of his name. The Moody Blues should
send him a check every month - forever.

Time - The Chambers Brothers (plus a red haired irish
drummer)

Poncho and Lefty
Always on My Mind - Willy Nelson
