Eric Johnson is an amazing guitarist. Great pick.

During the 70s and 80s my most listened to songs were:  
 
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin  
Hotel California - The Eagles  
All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix  
Let It Be - The Beatles  
Hey Jude - The Beatles  
Money - Pink Floyd (The whole album actually)  
Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd  
 
and almost any song by Genesis from Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound. Particularly "Supper's Ready (Foxtrot) and Firth of Fifth (Selling England)
