You Really Got Me - The Kinks
The Van Halen version is better. You all know it's true.

I Feel Fine - The Beatles
Football was invented in 1994 post of the week!
You can't get to EVH without first going through the Kinks → Who → Cream/Hendrix → Page → part of the story first. Oh and VH covered 2 of these songs, plus another Kinks song from 1965.

I Feel Fine - The Beatles
The first use of feedback on a popular (rock) recording…

I Feel Fine - The Beatles
yeah, there was distortion on earlier stuff like Link Wray but I feel fine was a first.

All Day and All of the Night - The Kinks
Love me some Kinks. Huh?
The days when entire songs were just over 2 mins long.
There is a live recording of a Kinks show from 1979 which shows up on my Amazon music; IMHO better versions than the original recordings, and better than @BleachedAnusDawg's Van Halen version.

I saw the Kinks at “Seattle Center Coliseum” in 83…top 5 in a long list of concerts for me…

I have said LP but haven’t listened in a while.
Kinks are in my top 10 all time favorite groups. -

I don't even think I can fathom your collection. Goodness

I Feel Fine - The Beatles
The I Feel Fine riff has a lot more to it than the feedback lead-in. Set aside your anti Beatles biases for a sec and listen to it. It's in a class of its own compared to the others. House Of the Rising Sun is the only one that comes close.
