My Bloody Valentine--"Only Shallow"

i agree with most (if not all) of the previous posts, but espically with the my bloody valentine citation; if you can't hear how gorgeous the melodies are, or how mighty (though simple) their riffage is, you are deaf.

The warlocks- shake the dope out
Lightning bolt- assains
Devo- smart patrol/mr. Dna
Ccr- fortunate son
rolling stones-gimme shelter

classics:

the kinks - you really got me
rolling stones - satisfaction
smoke on the water - deep purple
louie louie - the kingsmen
in-a-gadda-da-vida - iron butterfly

A totally killer riff that nobody ever mentions is the chorus of Chicago - "Stay The Night".
