Stones. "White Room" is fair but Cream has so many better songs.

white room.

Stones for sure. 🙂

Drew - Yeah, Cream had some better tunes, but I had to go with White Room for this list. You know your rock, so I'm sure you have an idea about the magnitude of trying to get 64 tunes that are representative of various classic rock genres...do you have any idea how tough it was to leave "Sunshine of Your Love" off this list?!? 😀

Stones, if only for ingenuity. According to his autobio, Keith Richards used a portable cassette deck (the kind made before they started putting limiters into them) as an effects box. Did a nice job dirtying up his acoustic guitar playing. Did the same thing on Street Fighting Man!
