"Another Waltz" by Frank Zappa
Frank’s back at it, crafting something as bizarre as it is beautiful. This unedited master feels like eavesdropping on the electric brainstorm of a mad scientist. You’re not just listening—you’re spelunking into the wild depths of Zappa’s subconscious.
"The Long Medley" by Jimi Hendrix
If Hendrix were alive today, he’d laugh at how we still haven’t caught up to him. This medley has all the furious virtuosity of a guitar sermon. You don’t just listen to it—you let it disassemble your molecules.
"Dark Star" (Live at the Fillmore) by Grateful Dead
Still the apex of cosmic wandering. If acid had a soundtrack, this would be its magnum opus. Garcia and the gang are your spirit guides as the Fillmore becomes a launchpad to the unknown.
"Spoonful" (Live at the Royal Albert Hall) by Cream
Cream flexes their power trio muscles here, delivering blues that hit you like a ton of bricks. Clapton’s solos sound like they were written in the Book of Rock. This one’s a masterclass in loud, sweaty perfection.
"Soul Sacrifice" (Live at Woodstock) by Santana
When Carlos Santana breaks into that solo, time stops. The bongos, the drums, the whole ensemble—it’s not just music, it’s a revolution caught live on tape.
"Rock Is Dead" (Complete Version) by The Doors
Morrison, the poet of doom, takes us down the rabbit hole one last time. This is a sprawling, apocalyptic blues odyssey where the lines between prophecy and hallucination blur. Rock isn’t dead, Jim—it’s just hiding in this playlist.
"Eight Miles High" by Golden Earring
Golden Earring channels that soaring energy but adds a heavier, murkier vibe to it. It’s trippy, it’s loud, and it’s exactly what 2025 needs.
"Tarotplane" by Captain Beefheart
Here comes the good Captain, armed with a harmonica and a primal growl that could scare the blues itself. It’s abstract, it’s raw, and it’s pure Beefheart. This is the sound of the delta turned inside out and flipped upside down.
Verdict? This playlist has some holy grail jams, a soundscape that reminds you rock isn’t just music—it’s the answer to the question you didn’t know you were asking.
