I'd like to give a nod to Randy Bachman's "American Woman" opening guitar riff and melody.

Love that you actually played the intro and a bit into The Kids Aren't Aright. One of my favorite riffs ever.

[@driverlance]

Have you heard the Evergreen Terrace cover of it? They made it heavier while still doing justice to the original version.

[@jobombo]

The most punk rock intro of all time

Not even close

I love how each decade up to 2010 has a distinct personality but the 2010s starts to mash them all together with more chromatic twiddles. Great microcosm. Will check out your other vids.

“Run Run Run” is a shockingly deep dive for a Who song! Also, I love your SG. I recognize it as a 2002/2003 Special Faded because of the ebony board and crescent moon inlays.

I too was confused why he opted to start in the '60s instead of the '50s. As far as I am aware Rock n Roll is still Rock, but whatever. This one started at Hard Rock post-Beatles.
