Forget for a moment about the “failed” Scottish independence vote yesterday, Wall Street, Jack Ma, Alibaba’s NYSE debut and the “10 most influential books” in your life which you may or may have not read. Do The List. Weigh in on what really moved you growing up by giving us you 10 most influential rock ‘n’ roll tracks. Rules and notions: Rock means soul, R & B, blues, folk, rockabilly and jazz-rock fusion. It rarely means straight pop–and never means country and western (which this blog thinks of as angry whining). We are not ranking the 10 tunes. Just get the all down. If you love rock deeply, and it informs you every moment, you will find this list difficult. Here is mine
1. Gimme Shelter, Rolling Stones
2. Telephone Man, Stevie Rsy Vaughan
3. Kick Out the JAMS. MC5
3. Wild Night,
