Hi!
I wish you to compile an mp3 cd of 100 songs - songs that you feel have been most influential in shaping hard rock music as we know today - the song could be of any genre - but has in some ways influenced the structure or form of hard rock as it is known and listened to by us. Please don't forget to mention the following basic details about the song:

1)Song name
2)Singer/Band
3)Year of recording
4)Genre
5)Why do you feel it can be clasified as "influential"

So...come on lets get creating that list! :)

Cheerio!

Yes ppl....blues has been a big influence in shaping hard rock - just listening to the first few albums of either Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath, or for that matter bands like Gamma, Blue Oyster Cult, ACDC, Pointblank will testify....so add your picks! :)

The entire Band of Gypsys album, all six songs, especially "Machine Gun". The lyrical content and guitar innovation has shaped hard rock and many other genres. Jimi Hendrix must be mentioned in this conversation.
