Rolling Stone elege as 100 melhores canções

A revista "Rolling Stone" resolveu eleger as 100 melhores canções que ficaram para a história pelo carisma da guitarra. "É isto que faz uma óptima sonoridade rock & roll de guitarra: um riff irresistível; um solo ou jam que nos eleva mais de cada vez que o ouvimos; o poderoso acorde final que nos deixa colados à parede e nos faz carregar no play repetidamente. Todas as canções aqui têm esses momentos", lê-se na introdução ao artigo.
