Everything from "Have you ever loved a woman" to "Keys to the highway, to Nobody loves you when you're down and out" to I am yours" to "why does love got to be so sad." Part of the power is having an album with Eric and Duane just wailing. But, the other part is the access to the emotions underlying the playing. >From what I remember, much of the power of rock during those days came from the fact that it was not simply abstract art. The best was often about the times and about the lives of the people who wrote and sang the songs.
