my current droollist

These are the songs that I'm currently drooling over:

Hollow Years - Once in a livetime version - John Petrucci
This version is totally different from the studio version of the song. This whole album is a classic, but this song's the best. John Petrucci's distinctive way in which he plays the acoustic guitar is most prominent in this song. The guitar intro at the start of the song sounds more like mandolin than guitar. The lead solo is also on acoustic guitar, and its as good as it can ever get.

Going to california - Led zeppelin
The only instrument in this song is an acoustic guitar and a mandolin. Robert Plant's voice in this song is just genius. The chorus line :
"Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow
I think I might be sinking."
thats the highlight of the song. The way Plant sings this line is simply genius. He proves yet again in this song that he's the best rock vocalist ever.

From Hark to Hendrix - Neil Young
The song is a tribute to two greatest guitarists, Hark Marvin (lead guitarist of Shadows - one of the greatest instrumental rock bands) and Jimi Hendrix. Pleasant feelgood song. The harmonica in the song is just mindblowing.
