Three Centuries of Rock and Roll
In the coming days I'm going to be doing something similar to what my friend Kelly is doing. He is counting down the top 100 Metal songs. I'm not particularly fond of Metal, so even naming 100 true metal songs would be quite the task for me. However, I do know some music. So, I'm hoping to be doing the "Top 100 Songs/Sonata's of the Past Three Centuries which influenced Rock and Roll". I plan on getting some musical discussion here, but since no one reads this its mainly literary and musical knowledge masterbation. If nothing else, it will get me to delve into my long dusty music collection to see if I can find some nuggets that I've been missing. Numbers 100 - 90 will be coming soon!
I claim no expertise on anything and I plan on messing up alot. However, maybe you'll find some songs you've forgotten or some that will be forgotten soon.

Right off the bat, I am thinking of Procol Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale" which begins with an actual Bach fugue. Don't know where it goes on your list, but there it is. This sounds like fun, I look forward to it. Anybody game for a top 100 Rush tunes? Didn't think so.
I love that song. Black Label Society covered it (as well as at least 50 others) on Hangover Music, Vol. IV, which is, most definitely, Zakk Wylde's weakest album. He tried to return to his solo effor Book of Shadows, but he screwed it up.
Anyway, I applaud your effort, Jon. It's tough to compile the list in the first place, and it's not exactly easy to write comments about each song.
Thanks for the encouragement ya'll. I'll do my best.
I've been trying to find the time - inspiration to respond to Todd's latest post. I will soon. But for right now I think it rocked.
