50 coolest song parts EVER

17 Jun 2004

You can argue about some of the entries, but 50 coolest songs parts ever is a pretty great list of songs with the little extra that has made them stick around in your mind, or makes you start headbanging every time you hear them.

I mean stuff like: Prince‘s faster-than-light guitar solo in Let’s go crazy — Queen‘s classic gay-but-cool-as-hell anthem Bohemian Rhapsody (where’s ABBA, by the way?) — Jimi Hendrix‘ Voodoo Chile (look at that cover image, didn’t you get arrested for stuff like that in those days?) — Madness‘ slightly deranged One Step Beyond — the coolest Rolling Stones intro ever in Sympathy for the devil — Van Halen‘s drum solo on Teacher (those can’t all be bass pedals, right?) — and on #1: Phil Collins‘ monumental gated drum climax on In The Air tonight.
