If there was a person who had never heard music before and you had to show them what rock and roll was, what song would you have them listen to?
I sure as hell would have them listen to unchained. |

I totally agree with you aczr....."Unchained" for me is the perfect song. If I was going to go with another song it might well be "For the love of God" by Steve Vai. Masterful guitar playing....not so much rock n roll though. Cool topic. :thumb: |

How about Metallica's cover of "Am I Evil"..... :D
'My mother was a witch, she was burned alive.
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried.
Take her down now, don't want to see her face
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace........'

| I remember as a kid listening to Eruption/You Really Got Me, man that was inpressionable. So I would probably start there. I also remember the first time I heard Hot for Teacher, with the drums then guitar intro, just f**king killer. I don't know after that, maybe Layla and Freebird. I give respect to some of the bands that paved the way. |

| Damn, great question. But there are so many to choose from. I would have to say "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones. Or "Light My Fire" by the Doors. Or maybe even "Whole Lotta Love" by the mighty Led Zeppelin |

But there are really to much great rock and roll songs around :cool: . |
