The following lists of excellent blues-rock songs are what started me down the path of compiling listings of classic rock music from the late 1960s through mid-1970s. The title of the first list was inspired by a Bonzo Dog Band song in which British frontman/songwriter/creative genius-madman Viv Stanshall ridiculed rich white bluesmen of the Eric Clapton ilk. The second came from a studio quip by Peter Green during one of the early Fleetwood Mac recording sessions. Note that these lists don't duplicate any of the classic blues-rockers that appear on the other listings previously posted.
Can Blue Men Sing the Whites?
(Mostly White Boys, Mostly Blues-Rock)
"Killing Floor" (Electric Flag) (great horns and Mike Bloomfield; LBJ intro makes it a Vietnam War protest song, methinks)
"Born in Chicago" (Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop) (powerful Littler Walter-style harp, excellent guitars)
"Crossroads" - live version - (Cream) (finally decided to add this; great guitar, OK Clapton singing)
"Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" - live version- (Johnny Winter/Rick Derringer flame-throwing session but it has some great guitar licks)
"Red House" (Jimi Hendrix) (perfect change-of-pace; his best straight blues???)
"Statesboro Blues" (Allman Brothers) (second only to "Hoochie Coochie Man")
"It's All Right" (Canned Heat with Harvey Mandel; nobody else plays blues guitar like Harvey) (Jimmy Rogers tune but this sounds like Little Walter's version to me)
"Rattlesnake Shake" (Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac) (best blues song ever about - ahem - male self-flagellation)
"Black Magic Woman" (Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac) (the original, not the Santana note-for-note rip-off, or was that hero-worship?) (straight blues coda without the Latin rock rave-up)
"I Woke Up This Morning" (Alvin Lee/Ten Years After) (a bit - OK, more than a bit - bombastic but great, technically devastating blues guitar virtuosity that leaves Gary Moore in the dust - and I like Gary)
"Juicy John Pink" (Robin Trower/Procol Harum) (grittiest Trower ever; Gary Brooker even sounds authentically bluesy)
"Looking In" (Savoy Brown) (Kim Simmonds is masterfully jazzy here; Roger Earl and Tone Stevens are in top form)
"Outside Woman Blues" (Cream) (my other favorite straight blues by Cream; great Joe Sheppard/aka Blind Willie - or Blind Joe- Reynold tune, terrific Jack Bruce singing)
"Tighten Up Your Wig" (Steppenwolf via Junior Wells) (I love this thing, but . . . most misogynistic blues lyric ever? "Your mind is so narrow/And its no surprise/If you fell on a pin, girl/You'd be blind on both eyes") Yikes!
"Murder In The First Degree" (Crowbar) (boogie-woogie fun from Toronto)
"Hoy Hoy Hoy" (Richard Newell/aka King Biscuit Boy) (more hot Canadian boogie-woogie, with the best harp of Biscuit's career)
"Blue Monday" (Delbert McClinton) (excellent soulful take on the Dave Bartholomew/Fats Domino tune, with nice baritone sax solo)
"Kiddie Boy" (James Cotton/Todd Rundgren) (blues harp schoolin' by a master)
"Boppin' with the Blues" (Powder Blues) (more great horns - what Roomful of Blues wants to sound like when they grow up!)
"Blues Is My Business" (Groove Hogs) (I cheated with this modern one but it's a perfect book-end for Electric Flag)
Oh Yea, The Blues Has Got Me!
(Mo' White Boys, Mo' Blues-Rock)
"Oh Yea, The Blues Has Got Me!" (Peter Green studio chat snippet)
"House of the Rising Sun" (Eric Burdon/Animals)
"Seventh Son" (Climax Blues Band)
"Ice Breaker" - Instrumental - (J. Geils Band)
"First I Look at the Purse" (J. Geils Band)
"The Sky Is Falling" (James Cotton/Todd Rundgren)
"Long Distance Operator" (James Cotton/Mike Bloomfield/Todd Rundgren)
"Thank You Mister Poobah" - Instrumental - (Paul Butterfield/Mike Bloomfield/Elvin Bishop)
"Me and My Baby" (Alvin Lee/Ten Years After)
"Buzzard Luck" (Powder Blues)
"Texas Flood" (Roomful of Blues with Duke Robillard)
"The Rockchopper" - Instrumental - (Powder Blues)
"Let The Four Winds Blow" (Crowbar)
"Before You Accuse Me" (Delbert McClinton)
"Just A Little Bit" (Delbert McClinton)
"Wine" (Electric Flag)
"Miss Ann" (Johnny Winter)
"Honky Tonk" - Instrumental - (Harvey Mandel)
"Let's Work Together" (Canned Heat with Harvey Mandel)
"12:15 Slow Goonbash Blues" - Instrumental - (Shuggie Otis/Al Kooper)
"Six Days on the Road" (Taj Mahal)

Building the Perfect Beast
This is sure to elicit considerably divergent (and hopefully constructive) opinion and criticism, but I've been on a two-year quest to put together a list of (arguably) exceptional classic rock, hard rock and country rock (late 1960s to mid-1970s) songs that most perfectly reflect those musical genres and the underlying American/Anglo-European youth culture of the times, and also my personal blues-rock/prog-rock/early metal tastes. As much as I like some of it, I purposely left off almost all pop-rock and psychedelic fluff (although some of you will surely call me out on a few of my inclusions) and virtually all serious Nashville-style country rock. Punk, metal and their later derivatives are also intentionally under-represented since they emerged toward the end of my target time-frame. Similarly, the early rock & roll masters are mostly absent since they prefigured the rock of the late '60s.
There are a few one-hit-wonders in the population, but most of it is from the cream of the then-established rock music firmament, and all of the obvious heavy hitters are at least nominally represented (unless I particularly didn't like them or their music wasn't really compatible with the bulk of the other selections). For example, I like Black Sabbath's early stuff but it didn't fit comfortably into any of the categories I was compiling. Their true musical heirs were part of the Second Wave of British Metal - Priest, Maiden, Motorhead, et al - as well as proto-metal bands like The Scorpions and Metallica, and I couldn't find a ready frame of reference in the music of Sabbath's initial peers (1969-70). Any ideas, metal-heads? Maybe it's time for me to consider a full-blown early metal overview.
My main objective was to sequence each sub-set precisely, like an aural jigsaw puzzle, such that each successive song flows inevitably from the preceding one and leads seamlessly into the next. I'm aware that not every grouping is equally successful in this regard, which is where I hope to get some help from the reader community. I'm currently up to a baker's dozen of separate, thematically-coherent groupings (titled "Guitar Party Rock, Volumes 1 through 13"), with a separate list for Rolling Stones favorites (although many other equally worthy Stones tunes are scattered throughout the other groupings) and a dual chronological list of Dylan favorites (with most of his hard country and religious output omitted from the second grouping). The Beatles favorites list is still a work-in-progress since so much of their early stuff is of such uniform (some might say "cookie-cutter") excellence that it would be easy to populate the list with nothing but their early output and skip their later development (decline?).
Other than the lists themselves, that's it. If the following lists inspire anyone else to dig up and listen to this old music, so much the better. With only a handful of groupings completed to date, there will certainly be many great tunes inadvertently (or perhaps - due to stylistic incompatibility- intentionally) left off, so let me know if I've made any truly egregious omissions so far within the boundaries I've established for this project. I will apply any useful suggestions to future compilations. Keep in mind that I'm trying to keep each sub-set stylistically and somewhat thematically consistent, so if you come up with a few recommendations that supplement but don't replace my earlier choices, see if you can identify a number of similar selections that will flesh them out into a separate, stand-alone group. And above all, let's talk about it!
