Momentum
This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.
Why it's here
The song's famous cowbell intro reportedly came from Corky Laing using it to count off the track during recording, a moment producer Felix Pappalardi kept in the final mix. [1] It was ranked number 10 on Guitar magazine's 1995 list of the '50 Heaviest Riffs of All Time' and number one on Spin's 2004 list of the 'Fifteen Greatest Cowbell Songs of All Time'. [2] Ozzy Osbourne covered the song for his 2005 album Under Cover with Leslie West himself guesting on guitar. [3]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
