Best of the best of rock and roll music
Well, bub, no matter how good the song is, it eventually has to end. The question, then, is: How’s it going to end? A studio fade giving the illusion of a sing-along chorus going on forever in some imaginary world populated by elves? A repeated turnaround? An abrupt, punk-rock-style halt? An unsuspected, off-key chord? It’s possible, of course, that the end could wind up being a transcendent moment in itself. Such is the case with the 10 gems below. 10. “ Frankenstein,” Edgar Winter It’s not so much the virtuosity of the synchronized synth and guitar arpeggios that got this one on the list but, rather, the fact it lends itself well to puns about monsters and rock ’n’ roll. ( We won’t bother getting started.) It then dawns on us how language and wordplay makes us human. Mighty profound for an instrumental. 09. “ Roll with the Changes,” REO Speedwagon The chorus is repeated so many times toward the end of the song that it becomes a mantra of sorts, meant to hammer home the Zen philosophy expressed in the title of this stadium anthem by an immensely popular band from the ’80s. Thankfully, Gary Richrath’s string bending and tremolo picking bring the listener back from the arena-rock astral plane into the real world. 08. “ Let's Go Crazy,” Prince The Purp goes crazy as this ultimate party tune winds down, showing off his wah-wah-laced Hendrixisms. Judging by the ecstatic state of his solo, he doesn’t want the party to die. But the realization finally hits home that the party must end. Then what? The giant comedown known as Under the Cherry Moon. 07. “21st Century Schizoid Man,” King Crimson The end homes in on the most addictive part of the riff— Robert Fripp’s chromatic power-chord progression—and accelerates until it becomes a blur of tones, symbolic, perhaps, of human addiction patterns, obsessive behavior, and mental illness. I mean, can you down a bag of potato chips once.
