| > What's a "hook"?
I guess you could say its a pattern of notes, usually repeated throughout the
song, that grabs the listeners attention, and is what they usually remember
about a song. A song with a real catchy part would have a "killer hook". Get
the idea?
There are tons of these, since I really like guitar hooks, but here are a
few off the top of my head:
Led Zeppelin - pick one, there are dozens to choose from! Including "Whole
Lotta Love", "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll", "The Rover". Page
was the master of guitar riffs!
Beatles - "Daytripper"
Aerosmith - "Walk This Way"
Chuck Berry - "Johnny B. Goode", et al
Eric Clapton - "Sunshine Of Your Love", "Layla"
Neil Young - "Hey Hey My My (Into The Black)"
Credence Clearwater Revival - "Bad Moon Rising"
Doobie Brothers - "China Grove"
Fastway - all of the 'All Fired Up' album, "Say What You Will", "Easy Livin'"
Van Halen - opening of "Ain't Talkin 'Bout Love"
Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here"
Fleetwood Mac - "Oh Well"
Hall and Oates - "Family Man" (bass line)
Theme from Peter Gunne
Rolling Stones - "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'", "Brown Sugar", "Satisfaction",
"Honky Tonk Woman", "Angie", many more
Squeeze - "Black Coffee In Bed"
Foreigner - "Women"
Stevie Ray Vaughn - "Crossfire"
U2 - "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
Tora Tora - "Walking Shoes"

Bach's Gavotte and Rondeau from the E major lute/violin partita
has a few mwasures that have been qoted and ripped off in many places,
it comes after the 2nd statement of the theme.
This form has a theme, like a chorus, then a developement section,
then the theme, rather the same as AbAcAdAe.
Anyway , if you hear it, you'd know it.

| Ah yes, Blue Oyster Cult is a GREAT hook band. In addition to
"Cities..", Don't Fear the Reaper and E.T.I. come immdediately
to mind. There are many, many more
Another band with a high hook ratio is Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Fortunate Son is far and away my favorite CCR hook.
And I'm surprised no-one has mentioned THE monster hook from my youth,
Day Tripper. The first guy in sixth grade who could play this was god
(and it wasn't me).

here it goes like this ...". Then he proceedes to make wah-wah type
