Grand Funk Railroad, first song on their first album: +++ Time Machine +++ Don Brewer's drumming with all the flams is what makes the song special to me. All that sound and a three man band.

Pacific Gas & Electric, one hit wonder: +++ Are You Ready +++ Absolutely mind blowing guitar solo pushing sustain as close as possible to feedback. The bass drum popped the 15" woofer I connected to my eight track! cry Despite the sound, another three man band. One story I read is the background girl singer was brought in after she was heard singing along with the song while the band was listening to playback with the building door open to let out some of the heat build up.

SuperTramp +++ Goodbye Stranger +++ A sonic masterpiece. Great song with a wonderful arrangement but the production is what makes the song because it's pure ear candy. Love the idea of saving the guitar solo to the end and then fading out the solo to end with the guitar player wailing. How inventive is that?
