Story has it that humans evolved from apes. The same evolution theory applies to rock music as well. Before rock came to existence, there was the blues.

I’m not going to delve into the history of how the blues shaped rock, for that’s a different topic! But I have compiled a personal list of ten blues songs that shaped the history of modern rock n’ roll.
