I stared at the topic and this song popped in my head. Then I opened the thread. Nicely done.

Y'all downvoted a previous poster, but he was right:


Can't You Hear Me Knockin'?
Monkey Man
All Down the Line
Honky Tonk Woman
Stray Cat Blues

The list is interminable. Keef was a genius.

It's not a favorite but the first song that came to mind was "You Shook Me All Night Long".

There are so many hooks in "Driver's Seat" by Sniff'n The Tears, but that big fuzzy guitar is one.

Steely Dad has several -

Reelin' In the Years
Rikki Don't Lose that Number
My Old School

My favorite SD song, though, not so much guitar related - Pretzel Logic

Add to that:

From the Beginning - Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Stairway to Heaven - Obvious Choice
Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
Just Got Paid - ZZ Top
Francine - ZZ Top
You Keep Me Hangin' On - Vanilla Fudge

Isn't Year of the Cat a piano line that plays throughout? Still, a great call. I just purchased the LP and haven't put it on yet.

piano is great in Year of the Cat, but the guitar solos are definitely a highlight.

And I Love Her

While McCartney wrote the song the opening riff is by George Harrison. I can't imagine that song with a different opening.

I was thinking quite a few ACDC songs before getting to this response.

Dire Straits



The entirety of their catalog IMHO.
Without Mark Knopfler's guitar genius, there isn't a Dire Straits song that can stand on it's own.

The opening riff was the first thing that came into my head and I'm not even all that into AC/DC. That's probably why that was the song that jumped out at me.
