Van Halen - You really got me

Although "You Really Got Me" was written by Ray Davies, the song was completely built around a power chord guitar riff played by Dave Davies. The distorted guitar sound was also created by Dave Davies sliced the speaker cone of his Vox AC30. It was the breakthrough hit for the Kinks.
It was the first Van Halen singe. They had a jump start with it.
