    It’s always fun to hear people’s takes on “the best…” in music. One song that I never see on these lists and don’t understand is Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits. Super unique sound and identifiable immediately

    • @PavelFomenkov
      @PavelFomenkov 2 роки тому +78

      Mark Knopfler might be the most underrated human being on the planet. Not only Sultans are missing from any lists, and it's his most famous song, but the guy also still consistently writes astonishingly good songs nobody cares about. It's a shame.

    Van Halen - Ain't talking bout love
    Peter Frampton - Do you feel like we do

      GVF is an example of a good, young rock band. There's such a scarcity of new rock bands these days, that's why it's so important to make bands like Dirty Honey, Mammoth WVH, and Forrester popular. I would even go as far as to say that the riff at the interlude of "Down And Out Of State" by Forrester belongs on this list.

    Lack of representation of 80s heavy metal bands is frankly disappointing.

    4 Heartbreaker
    5 Black Night
    6 Crossroads
    7 I feel Fine
