Anyways just thought I'd get that off my chest. Buy Classic Rock instead!
making lists sucks...
most of these songs suck...Beat it????? The Smiths??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The Bryds???? Prince???? Muse??? Rage???Stone roses???
Queen??? Well ...hmmm...where is Mettallica? Pearl jam? Pumpkins?
Totally agree. How can there not even be one solo by Hammet on this list? Prince as well. What about Jeff Beck? I love Gilmore's Comfortably Numb solo, but number 1? And Van Halen had way better solos than Beat it for God's sake. What about eruption?
I will repeat:
making lists sucks...
magazines that make lists suck (it shows a lack of imagaination)
most pieces that appear on lists suck
...pie
But mr. justam
is who I am
