Only one band/artist makes the list twice. I'll let you guess who that is.........Obviously one person's opinion, but a pretty good list actually.

There's some great stuff on this list! I'm sure we could come up with a bunch more though ...... Albatross by Fleetwood Mac springs to mind.

4. The Tornados - Telstar

 

The first ever number one single in the US Billboard Charts from a British artist! Coincidentally, their guitarist happened to become the father of one Matthew Bellamy, who would follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a rock guitarist and quickly surpass his father's commercial and critical success by forming the band Muse with Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme. On one of Muse's signature tracks, Matt pays homage to his father's groundbreaking and unique guitar tone from Telstar by using a very similar tone and playing with a similar tremolo style, that track being Knights Of Cydonia.

Oh and 12. YYZ!

 

How did this not make the first ten? I get La Villa is probably the bigger favorite around here but YYZ is also a certified classic.
