Sister Rosetta Tharpe -- Gospel Train

  Sister Rosetta Tharpe is known as the Godmother of Rock 'n' Roll music, and I have to full heartily agree.  He distinct style of Blues infused Gospel inadvertently invented the modern style of guitar soloing, which was perfected by Chuck Berry ... meaning put this on your must hear list, as in right now!!! 

Green River -- Dry As Bone/ Rehab Doll

  Green River turned out to be the archetype for the Seattle sound.  What you have here is Mark Arm basically backed by Pearl Jam, thank god there isn't a hint of jock Rock in their music, it actually sounds like Mudhoney, just crunchier and amateur, but this band was a good start to what was to become a world movement!
