IRememberDBoon Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Whatever that word means anywayThe correct answer is Sympathy For The Devil but there may be other opinions.I say in THIS century it could be "I am trying to break your heart" and no Im not kidding. Only because OK Computer came out in 98 or whatever.Now for ME PERSONALLY the most groundbreaking LIVE song I think Ive seen was Misunderstood at The 930 Club.I was like "DAMN! This aint no hippie shit" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost of Electricity Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 good ideas above. I'll add: Kinks - You Really Got Me (use of distortion)Link Wray - Rumble (broke so much ground it became the only instrumental ever to be banned from radio)and something by Velvet Underground as that opened the way to the whole "alternative" thing (or whatever you call it) maybe I'm Waiting for My Man or Heroin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 You guys have mentioned some greats ones. I'll add a few more: James Brown - Funky Drummer (probably the most sampled song ever)The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again (especially for Pete's innovative use of synth/organ throughout the track)The Beatles - Strawberry Fields (and probably a dozen others for that matter)Prince - When Doves Cry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Public Enemy's "Fight The Power" is the only acceptable answer. That, and about 150 other answers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doug C Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Jimmy Liggins - Cadillac Boogie 1947, the year rock and roll was born. Jackie Brenston and Ike Turner's reworked version, Rocket 88, came out in 1951. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Included among this list has to be one of the early Beatles songs that brought on Beatlemania. Take your pick, I Want to Hold a Your Hand, She Loves You, I Saw Her Standing There, etc. Talk about groundbreaking. I'll go with I Want to Hold Your Hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Tunes from just about every era of The Beatles. As far as the psychedelic era, A Day in the Life and Strawberry Fields Forever have been mentioned...how about Tomorrow Never Knows? Early Beatles -- I Feel Fine (first recorded use of feedback).
