OK, Hollies fans; here's my question to you: What is your pick for the Greatest Rock and Roll Record of All-Time (with the greatest guitar intro EVER)?
In all seriousness, and with much deep thought, my vote goes to the one-and-only,
LONG COOL WOMAN (IN A BLACK DRESS) by THE HOLLIES.

This incredible track rocked US radio like crazy in the summer of 1972. You couldn't escape it if you tried. And I ask you, who would want to?

Do you mean "Hollies" only or by any band?

Yes it would be hard to go past Long Cool Woman,
another brilliant Guiatar intro is The Air that I Breathe, but that's not a rock and roll record.

LCW and Air are fantastic guitar intro's.My personal favourite is Gasoline Alley Bred that initial guitar is breathtaking and that made me an ardent Hollies fan.

Love the intro to gasoline Alley Bred too. But Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) has the best rock n' roll guitar intro

Of all time by anyone - for me the best is Day After Day by Badfinger.

From the Hollies, sure, it's gotta be LCW. I've loved that song ever since I first heard it when I was about twelve years old, wondering just what those lyrics actually were!

Honorable mention for best guitar into on a rock song would include the Guess Who's "No Time," "All Right Now" by Free.


Edit - although it's not a hit, a very tasteful electric guitar into is the Badfinger song "It's Over," with closes the near-perfect Straight Up album. I still think that it's Tommy Evans' best-ever song.

I agree with everyone else who says that Long Cool Woman is the Rock And Roll song that has the best guitar intro and Curly Billy comes in a close second.

Now if it's non Hollies material too, the guitar into to Move It would be hard to beat.

If it's non-Hollies, then the guitar intro to Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks would be hard to beat. Not a rock and roll record but brilliant all the way.

My vote would go to the Beatles 'I Feel Fine' - truly one of Georges' finest riffs.

That's cool, too, but "Long Cool Woman" still beats it in my book.

One of the best Rock And Roll records of all time in my book is Layla-by Derek and The Dominoes and what a cracking guitar intro by Clapton.

Don't know if Here comes the sun counts as rock'n'roll but it has a beautiful guitar intro
