More classic rock n’ roll favorites

A column I wrote several weeks ago listing favorite classic rock songs generated interesting reader comments.

“Gimme Shelter” – Rolling Stones

“Amnesia” – Keith Richards

“We Just Disagree” – Dave Mason

“Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys” – Traffic

“Let It Be” – Beatles
