While you're at it... "Psycho" or "Strychnine" by the Sonics.
The Sonics allegedly INVENTED distortion by melting the mixing desk they used in the studio because they used to turn everything up so loud. Is this as good as the other contender, Link Wray, who kicked in his amp to get his sound? I'm glad it's a dead heat - both stories are fantastic.

Great mix, Alistair. But what of ‘Witches’ by the Cowboy Junkies, about the most seductively spooky song ever recorded? Mind, you’ve a coven of witches as it is.
