2. "Street Fighting Man" - Stones Since this is a "Hot Rocks" and radio staple it's easy to dismiss this song as overplayed. It's been a while since I've heard it, and, damn, this is good shit. Songs like this are the reason why I always rank the Stones ahead of the Beatles. 10
3. "I Walk the Line" - John Cash The Man in Black. 'nuff said. 8
4. "Dollar Bill" - Screaming Trees The Guinness Book Twins back for an encore. 7
5. "Ball and Biscuit" - White Stripes Is it blues? Rock? Whatever. It kicks total and complete ass. Jack and Meg at the top pf their game. 106. "Perfect Strangers'" - Deep Purple For the crunchy blues riffs of "B&B" to transition straight into Jon Lord's majestic keys? "Oh, yeah..." 9
7. "Oh!" - Sleater Kinney Always a big fan of good chick-rock. File under Magnapop. Another one from the well-stocked AA library. 7
8. "4 Degrees" - Tool Starts out eerily like a Stone Temple Pilots tune, then shifts into typical Tool. Which is a good thing. 8
9. "Juicebox" - The Strokes Another fake-out. Opening bassline fools me into thinking it's Tad's "Jack Pepsi" every time.... 7
10. "Police and Thieves" - The Clash When you hear a song like this, it's easy to forget this was considered a punk band. Sort of. Well, they had mohawks. At least Joe Strummer did... 9
8.2 average. Kneel before Zod.

I gotcha over at LLPN, but I'll repeat here: Ball & Biscuit alone has to raise the average a couple points alone.
No song I've ever heard reminds me more of Jimi at his live/blues jamming best: Red House, Machine Gun. That sort of thing.
You check out that Racs video yet?
Yeah, but as I mentioed at LLPN, I can only hear it. NO video.
Sounds great. I'm sure the problem is mine.
