2 Stones songs mentioned in 100 Greatest Guitar..
Jun 4^th, 2008 at 8:38am

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/20947527/page/5

In the latest RS, here they are:

5 "Brown Sugar"
The Rolling Stones (1971)

"Satisfaction" may be the Rolling Stones' most recognizable riff, but this Sticky Fingers hit — based on a gutbucket guitar part devised by Mick Jagger — is the band's raunchy guitar pinnacle. Keith Richards' secret weapon: He's playing a guitar that's missing its lowest string.

25 "Can't You Hear Me Knocking"
The Rolling Stones (1971)

The fist-on-your-door riff was classic Keith Richards, while the solo showed Mick Taylor's disciplined touch. "Mick was so lyrical on songs like 'Knocking,' " Charlie Watts has said, noting his love of the song's long instrumental coda. "That was a complete jam, one take at the end."

Two " THE WHO " songs were listed :

15 "My Generation"
The Who (1965)

" Before smashing guitars was a cliché, it was a shock, and the Who's signature song was one shock after another, from Pete Townshend's pile-driving two-chord riff to his sudden disappearance while bassist John Entwistle solos to the glitchy feedback that ends the original recording. "

40 "I Can See for Miles"
The Who (1967)

Pete Townshend called this "the ultimate Who record" and brought his arsenal of moves to it: windmilling power chords; fretboard-stroking, piercing drones; and shifting accents that play off his bandmates. It was a breakthrough that set the standard for guitar tricks.

There's a lot more then 2 for The Stones for sure, it's just one or a jury of opinions, & their taste, a lot I agree with, a lot I don't, I don't know why The Kinks You Really got me is always picked, all day & all of the night is much more powerful, & a great riff, I guess this is in the now issue of Rollin' Stone, I wish the site had all 100 songs listed in 1 page, instead of having to change pages all the time.

The Rolling Stones ain't just a group, their a way of life-Andrew Loog Oldham.

Jann Wenner or what ever his fucking name is, has finally lost it. Two Stones songs in the top 100 Greatest Guitar songs of all time. That's an abomination.

Yeah, hard to believe there aren't more Stones songs {although "Memo From Turner" is #92}.

Other interesting choices....

#9--Statesboro Blues--Allmans
#23--Over Under Sideways Down--Yardbirds
#36--Interstellar Overdrive--Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd
#38--Stay With Me--Faces
#56--Eight Miles High--Byrds
#88--Mona {I Need You Baby}--Quicksilver
#95--Omaha--Moby Grape

Lots of Hendrix {and covers}, understandably. Also Albert King, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck......some good choices, overall.
