The other day I was thinking about burning a CD. I never got around to it, but I did think about it. If I would have burned the CD I would have called it The Ultimate Rock Mix-tape: 20 of the Best Rock Songs Ever. I also would have had to write it with a Sharpie with really small handwriting. Instead I decided to write a blog and title it The Ultimate Rock Mix-tape: 20 of the Best Rock Songs Ever. I also decided to stick with the standard default font style and size. The songs range from 1966 to 2006, that’s like 20 years of great tunes. I have searched abundant hours, listened to countless albums, read hundreds of Rolling Stone magazines, and crowd surfed my way across the nation to pluck these 20 songs that I’m sure you’ll all fully agree with. They are in chronological order by release date, so without further to do, let the good times roll.
