Find yourself arguing with your friends about the GREATEST rock songs of all time? Well, in the decade of Guitar Hero, the debate is on and the newest issue of Rolling Stone has a listing of the 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time.I was very impressed with the list, it includes songs from all time periods. The only complaint I have with the ranking is that Van Halen's "Panama" is listed all the way down at #47. I highly recommend you take note, all 100 of these songs would make a great addition to any music library.
Here is a list of Rolling Stone's Top 20 of 100:
1. "Johnny B. Goode" Chuck Berry (1958)
2. "Purple Haze" The Jimi Hendrix Experience (1967)
3. "Crossroads" Cream (1968)
4. "You Really Got Me" The Kinks (1964)
