1. “Tusk,” Fleetwood Mac
2. “D’yer Mak’er,” Led Zeppelin
3. “Jump,” Van Halen
4. “Discotheque,” U2
5. “My World,” Guns N’ Roses

Just Dropped In is probably the only psychedelic country song ever recorded.

And many thought Long Cool Woman was CCR.

i still say girl from the north country…it doesnt sound a thing like bob dylan

Keith | 7/31/2007, 8:10 pm EST

14. “Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress,” The Hollies

If it doesnt sound like the Hollies then who does it sound like?

if discotheque was an off guard u2 song i cant imagine what people would think of numb off zooropa….oh well,

‘tusk’ is just a continuation of the swamp rock of ‘gold dust woman’, ’sisters of the moon’ and ‘the chain’…the Mac has many sounds and shouldn’t be underestimated cos Christine McVie sometimes lapses into new-agey self-help rock…

Heart attack man - Beastie Boys

Both Beatles songs are cuts from the White Album, no surprise there.
