- Van Halen, "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love" (1978) Eddie Van Halen will always be known – and justifiably so – for his finger-popping pyrotechnics, but "Ain't Talking 'About Love" shows another side, as he experiments with an instrument you're unlikely to find in many hard-rock songs: The electric sitar.

- Mott the Hoople, "All the Young Dudes" (1972) David Bowie wrote and produced "All the Young Dudes" for Mott the Hoople, who suddenly catapulted to glam-rock royalty after years toiling as a lumbering British blues band.
