If we can handle a month of going through the polar primate catalogs … I'll nominate Hocus Pocus. (This is not the greatest rock song of all time by a long shot – start a new poll for that one.) YouTube link |

Stosstruppen get my vote on #1 |
PaulCollins | 16 Sep 2017 12:03 p.m. PST |
Mark Knopfler's riff in Sultans of Swing would probably be my vote for #1. |

It's either "Jumpin Jack Flash" or "Satisfaction", both by the Stones. "Layla" by Clapton is a close second. |

Some interesting choices (I especially like "Sultans" and The Cult song). The truth is, rock really isn't my thing, but I remember a friend who is very, very into it, and is also something of a rock historian, said that many think the greatest solo ever was by Gilmore on the song "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd. Any thoughts on this? |
PaulCollins | 16 Sep 2017 2:30 p.m. PST |
Gone Fishing, I would say that that one deserves consideration. |
