In the brand spanking new GuitarOne I got today, Joe Bonamassa suggested the following songs. I can't really argue with any of them:
1) SRV "Pride and Joy"
2) Howlin' Wolf "Superstitious"
3) Eric Clapton "Steppin' Out"
4) T-Bone Walker "Stormy Monday"
5) Robert Johnson "Crossroads"
6) B.B. King "The Thrill Is Gone"
7) Muddy Waters "I Can't Be Satisfied"
8) Free "Walk in My Shadows"
9) Yardbirds "Train Kept A' Rollin'" (I prefer the Aerosmith version. I'd like to hear the Tiny Bradshaw original sometime)
10) Albert King "Born Under a Bad Sign"

Ask and you shall receive! Here's a clip of the Tiny Bradshaw version (http://secure1.mppglobal.com/ishop/202/Tiny-Bradshaw--His-Orchestra/The-Train-Kept-A-Rollin-Music-Download/274889/ProductInfo.aspx). I still prefer the Aerosmith version. :)

For completeness' sake, here are You Tube videos of the:

Another favorite of mine that precious few people know about is Howlin' Wolf's "Movin'" which is the first track off his album "Back Door Wolf." Hubert Sumlin has got it going on in that track. "Smokestack Lightening" is another Wolf classic. Lest we forget: Muddy Waters' "Got My Mojo Workin'".
