Best rock song of all times
Won't Get Fooled Again- The Who 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
Ryan Acoustics- Thought they would be the next Vandersteen. 
Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why?
Pop/Rock- Billy Sheehan is technically the best. In a group John Entwistle was the best. He was a great antithesis for Keith Moon's erratic brilliance. Acoustic/Jazz- Scott Lafaro and Eddie Gomez, maybe it's my bias to the Bill Evans Trio.

What time do you wear?

Real Stinkers
One Step Closer- The Doobie Brothers 
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
With Deep Purple-The Moody Blues-Humble Pie-Uriah Heep and Rush not inducted guess what? No sugar tonight!!! 
Song covers that are better than the originals
"You Keep Me Hanging On"- Vanilla Fudge 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Soundlab A3 powered with Jeff Rowland model 7's 
Your First Concert was.....
Judas Priest/Great White Joe Louis Arena June-13-1984. The mighty Priest had an off night, Great White was the better band. 
Best surprisingly good value component
JVC QL-Y5F with a Grado Signature 8. It outperformed a Linn Axis-Rega P3 or both Revox tables in the mid-late 1980's. $200 will get you a solid turntable even by today's standards. 
Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs
The Trooper- Iron Maiden
