KRAC Captain Tom Knab weighs in with his lists, "As of today, subject to revision on account of bad memory, and not in order":

"Like A Hurricane" - Neil Young. I read an article which said that the soloing on this song is a "guitar teacher's nightmare" because it breaks all the rules and kills anyway; "And Your Bird Can Sing" - Beatles. How about that triple-tracked guitar line?; "All Over Now" - Rolling Stones. Those big chords at the end clinch it; "Don't Dream It's Over" - Crowded House. Cool chords, gorgeous pop; "Brown-Eyed Handsome Man" - Chuck Berry. The problem was choosing just one; "Chestnut Mare" - The Byrds. It's not about a horse. "Time Of The Season" - Zombies. "What's your name? Who's your Daddy?" Say no more; "Victoria" - Kinks. A study of their stuff begs the question: Who did it
first, Kinks or Beatles? "Nostalgia" - Cracker. My favorite song from a truly under-rated band; "So It Goes" - Nick Lowe. Best pop lyrics ever.

ALBUMS:

Elvis Costello - This Year's Model. When you first heard it you said "WOW!"

Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed. So much Keith. Get the remastered version.

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home. A coin toss with Highway 61 but
"115th Dream" makes me laugh every time.

Faces - A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse. Years ago I dreamed I
was playing the guitar solo on "That's All You Need" in my parents' living
room with a monkey wrench. Go figure.

Nils Lofgren - Cry Tough. Why won't they re-issue this on CD?

Wilco - Summerteeth. Their best, I think. Great melodies all over the place.

The Clash - The Clash. Kills.

Ramones - Rocket To Russia. Unbelievable guitar tones, funny as hell.

The Byrds - Untitled/Unissued. For the studio stuff alone.

Dave Edmunds - Tracks On Wax 4. Rock got fun again when I found this in
1978.
