OK, anyone got any proper answers?

Johnny B. Goode
Rumble
Peter Gunn
Satisfaction
My Generation
Smoke on the Water
Eruption


Hmmm....

I give up.  :?

If you only know parts of songs Philly perhaps you could do a video like the '100 riffs' one. Just a suggestion.

A video of me?  :o

There's one to frighten the children (and kittens).

There should be a mandatory requirement to know all the songs that you would be banned from playing in a guitar shop, throughout the decades.

You know  the "no stairway" (denied!) scenario.
http://youtu.be/RD1KqbDdmuE

What would make that list?

Apache?
Johnny be good
daytrippper
satisfaction
Jumping jack flash
Purple Haze
Smoke on the water
Burn
paranoid
Stairway
Whole lotta Love
Black dog
Rock and Roll

Every breath you take
sultans of swing
Money for nothing
Smells like teen spirit
Lithium
master of puppets
enter sandman
nothing else matters

Paranoid certainly

It pleases me that there's songs getting mentioned that I've never knowingly heard.
