Good Night Irene- Leadbelly (The Weavers had a hit with it and sparked the folk revival in the 50's)
Little Red Rooster- Howlin' Wolf (EVRY rock band in the sixties played this song. I think it was a requirement.)
Bo Diddley- Bo Diddley (Where would rock and Roll be without this shave and a haircut jam? It's R&R's Salt Peanuts)
Dark Star- The Grateful Dead (the LSD culture wouldn't have been the same without this aural companion. Not to mention the influence this type of music had on bands like Sonic Youth some years later. Seriously, Lee Renaldo cites the dead as important in developing the noise rock/no wave sound)
Flashlight- Parlament/Funkadelic (Hello?)
