In 1958, radio stations banned this cult classic by Link Wray because, well, it sounded badass -- oh, and it was titled "Rumble," referring of course to gang street fighting. Wray, who lived in Maryland for much of his early career, is widely credited with inventing the "power chord" you hear throughout "Rumble," which formed the basis of much of rock music from The Kinks, The Who and Led Zeppelin to 80's punk rock. This Hackwhacker is also the proud owner of a 45 of "Rumble," quite scratched, making it all the more...badass.
