Great stuff guys, going to update my Spotify play list for sure.

I actually heard a Grateful Dead cover of Johnny B Goode the other day that I liked, and I am definitely NOT a Dead Head

Highway to Hell - AC/DC
All Down the Line - Stones

Both just perfect riffs, perfect rhythm. Interesting fact about ADTL: tried for years figure out opening riff but couldn't quite get it to sound right. Come to find out, Keith stated in an interview his guitar was out of tune but it sounded so good they left it like it was. How was I supposed to assume his guitar was out of tune?

Bet you would have had better luck had you done heroin and several glasses of Jim Beam first.

The Grateful Dead were a pretty friggin tight band in the 70's. great musicianship and bluegrass influence...

This Live version of Cumberland Blues is great for driving down the highway.

Workingman's Dead is a brilliant album,

I never know what is going to set me off when I listen to oldies. A couple of nights ago I was watching some of this year's Glastonbury festival on tv. They showed Earth, Wind, and Fire doing Boogie Wonderland and I cranked the hell out of it.

Anytime I'm driving down an old winding country road I like to crank out some "Ramblin Man" or "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers or maybe a little "Green Grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws.

Anytime I hear a song like "Stranglehold", "Metal Health" or, of course, Zeppelin's "Kashmir" or "When the Levee Breaks", I crank it up to maximum volume.

One more. Mandrill. "Fencewalk". The break at 1:47 is sublime, but then builds to a literal 'wall of sound'. And the guitar solo is staggering!
