Walk this Way - Aerosmith
Satisfaction - Rolling Stones

Mannish Boy - whoever the hell wrote that one first

How Money for Nothing (Dire Straits) or Boom Boom (John Lee Hooker) or Dust my Broom (Elmore James) didn't make the top 5, I'll never know

I am in agreement with all the posts on the licks. I am working on the dvd by steve trovato. This man can play must be a master. dvd is the rockabilly. Lots of licks from brian setzer his licks are so fun to play over and over. When he did rock this town or stray cat strut he must have been 19-20 years old. Look into you tube about 1983.

So many to choose from, my minds gone blank!!

Mannish Boy - I prefer the Bo Diddley version
Sunshine of your Love - Cream
Smoke on the water - Deep Purple
You Gotta Move - The Rolling Stones
Little Red Rooster - By Anybody, it is just so cool.

Like RoadKing I reserve the right to change my mind at any time
