Instead of just a top ten favorite songs or albums list I thought I would try something a little different.
1. Best guitar riff (electric)
The Star Spangled Banner, Jimi Hendrix, from Woodstock.
2. Best guitar riff (acoustical)
Tilt Billings and the Student Prince, Loe Kottke, Ice Water
3. Best rock'n out piano riff.
Burn Down the Mission, Elton John, 11/17/70
4. Best sensuous piano riff.
The Same Situation, Joni Mitchell, Court and Spark
5. Best protest song lyrics
Ohio, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, written by Neil Young
6. Best lyrics that only make sense if you don't think about them.
Highway 61 Revisited, Bob Dylan,
7. Best poetic lyrics
Heavy Horses, Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson)
8. Best lyrics that seem spiritual
And You and I, Yes, Close to the Edge
9. Best social commentary lyrics that still apply even though they are over 35 years old.
I'm the Slime, Frank Zappa, Over-Nite Sensation
10. Best musical cameo appearance.
John Belushi as samurai tenor sax on Purple Lagoon.
