My top 500 all time tracks
Start at the bottom and work your way up...
| 1 | Jimi Hendrix Machine gun |
| A live performance at
Fillmore east in New York that spanned from December 1969- to January 1970. Hendrix's best ever recorded performance and probably the best ever piece of electric guitar music ever recorded. A smoking performance with an extremely complex combination of rhythms amongst other rhythms. New methods of using feedback as actually notes, diving, and octavia pedals add to this masterpiece of sheer genius. |
| 2 | Jimi Hendrix Red house |
| Live at the Isle of
Wight 1970 Hendrix was forced to play this live concert due to his studio running out of funds. Even though playing with his hand twisted behind his back the sheer brilliance is there for all to see. This piece still remains the no1 Blues piece ever created. Gary Moore did a beautiful rendition of it which you can see posted below. Number 31 |
| 3 | Jimi Hendrix Hey Baby |
| Jimi Hendrix in his
recording studio, just practising.
Why this was never released as a single nobody knows. |
| 4 | Procul Harem Whiter shade of pale |
| Most people say it gives
them goose bumps.
An awe inspiring track |
| 5 | Grieg Piano concerto E opus 16 |
| Its really hard to
imagine the mind of someone who could have written this masterpiece. One has to ask what planet was he from? |

| 8 | Jimi Hendrix Who knows |
| A live performance at
Fillmore east in New York that spanned from December 1969- to January 1970. This has a very funky beat. What started out as a live "jam session" ended up with some incredible solo deviations around minute 2. |

| 47 | Sid Vicious My way |
| Much better than Frank Sinatra's version |
| 448 | Billy Holiday Strange fruit |
| Written especially for her, this song was a protest against southern USA lynch mobs who killed slaves |
| 500 | Robert Johnson Hellhound on my trail |
| This eerie song was the first
real blues track ever made, and inspired many artists to build on it. He was
reported to have sold his soul to the devil, which enabled him to play
anything he wanted where as previously he was booed wherever he played. The
story has it he died very young spinning round
like a chicken.
A favourite of Eric Clapton, and Led zeppelin copied one of his tracks called "Travelling riverside blues" which was a lot better than his version! |
