38. Link Wray and his Wray Men Rumble (1958)
Distortion and feedback
One of the first tunes to use power chords
Record producer hated it, his stepdaughter loved it
Wray poked holes in his amplifier speaker to get the sound during live shows
Rumble = “gang fight”—Phil Everly renamed it (because of its rough sound)
Because of this, it is one of very few instrumentals to be banned from airplay
Bob Dylan called it “the greatest instrumental ever”
Jimmy Page described it as a turning point in his love for the guitar
