In this months Rolling Stone magazine Slash gives his Top Ten Greatest Songs Of All Time:
1) "Back In the Saddle" - Aerosmith
I heard this in junior high at the house of this girl I was trying to date. She
put it on & I completely forgot about her.
2) "The Ocean" - Led Zeppelin
A great Zeppelin riff.
3) "Helter Skelter" - The Beatles
It's got that screaming British hard-rock sound.
4) "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" - The Rolling Stones
This defines the Stones for me.
5) "Down Payment Blues" - AC/DC
The chord progression on this is just great.
6) "Won't Get Fooled Again" - The Who
Arena rock at its best. The Who were so before their time.
7) "Tie Your Mother Down" - Queen
I used to play this with one of those ridiculous old-school Panasonic tape recorders
pressed to my ear.
8 ) "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" - Black Sabbath
One of the heaviest riffs ever recorded.
9) "Magic Carpet Ride" - Steppenwolf
This is an awesome song, even if nobody understands it.
10) "I Wanna Be Your Dog" - The Stooges
Pure raunch.
