WHAT??? No Link Wray??? Oh yeah, I forgot - “Nobody played guitars in the 50’s”.

Half of these guys learned their riffs from Link Wray when they were about 13, and most of them will admit it.

LOL, yep, most of rock guitar is just a reworking of something Link, B.B. King, and Chuck Berry had already done before 1960.

I don’t think he has an album that really qualifies. Rumble would be on a list of songs.
