The Rolling Stones released Let It Bleed in 1969. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" became the album's biggest hit, but "Gimme Shelter" was the opening track. The lyrics reflect the horrors of war, especially the chorus line "It's just a shot away" repeated throughout the song.

"Good Riddance" can stir different types of emotion depending on the person interpreting the lyrics. Billie Joe Armstrong sings with authenticity for a song with lyrics that apply to all sorts of situations in life. You've undoubtedly heard it at a graduation or involved in some sort of other goodbye. Most of the lyrics suggest a positive sentiment as part of the goodbye, but it's also a sad song with a sense of longing for the past.

We push play on Thursday, August 31st at 9 a.m. with Preston & Steve. We will wrap up with the letter "Z" sometime on or about September 14…we think.

Share your favorite A to Z moments on social media with #WMMRAtoZ.

Now keep up with our alphabetized list as we go.

The first letter of the alphabet starts off strong. This group includes a classic from The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and a Philly favorite, The Hooters. Click Here to see the "A" songs.

This group includes a classic from one of our favs, Led Zeppelin, and a bunch of nerdy-looking guys who make great music. Click Here to see the "B" songs.

This group includes a band synonymous with tube socks, one of Pierre Robert's favorite bands, and a song from one of the most famous concept albums. Click Here to see the "C" songs.

This set has a classic from an MMRBQ featured artist, a band fronted by a practicing witch, and a band that just took the stage in Philly.  Click here to see the "D" songs.

The "E" songs are excellent. Featuring songs from two WMMR favorites, Foo Fighters, and Metallica, these tracks are sure to please. Click here to see the "E" Songs.

The "F" songs are fantastic, fun, and fabulous. We heard songs by classic rock giants and 90s grunge forefathers. Click here to see the "F" songs.

Good gracious! A guaranteed, grand, guitar-filled lineup. Are you feeling Green Day? Or are you saying "Gimme Shelter?" Click here to see the "G" songs.

Holy moly! "H" already? Having a happy time with this A to Z list? We sure are. This letter has a number of songs from rising rock groups, plus classics from bands we all know and love. Click here to see the "H" songs.

These incredible tracks showcase the forefathers of punk rock, and rock n' roll royalty.  Click here to see the "I" songs.

Just bask in the joy rock n' roll generates. We played tracks from "Jamming" to "Jane Says." And, we had to kick it off with a Preston and Steve reference, of course. Click here to see the "J" songs.

Keyboard! Kitchen! Uh...kool? Kongrats to the Voice of a Generation, and the band that really likes to rage for knowing what it takes to keep themselves on the A to Z! Click here to see the "K" songs.

Lucky you! You've gotten to our "L" songs. We enjoyed hits from the fab four and a New Jersey titan during this letter. Click here to see the "L" songs.

More, more, more to go now that we have gone through the "M" songs. For this letter, we rocked out to a Metallica classic and a song featured in a famous risqué movie. Click here to see the "M" songs. 

Nice! We've never had an A to Z this neat and nifty. For this noble letter, we had a guy proclaiming that he may not be so friendly anymore, and a more serious tune about that holiday on January 1st. Click here to see the "N" songs.

On the road to this A to Z being over, but not yet! This list features a reggae great, plus a couple prolific protest songs. Click here to see the "O" songs.

Hey! Mind your P's and Q's, because we finished the perfect letter "P" and the quaint letter "Q." We played songs by the Prince of Darkness and the Piano Man. Click here to see the "P + Q" songs.

Really radical! "R" was a rockin' letter, with a section of roughly 30 songs that started with "rock." Click here to see the "R" songs.

Superb letter "S" has sashayed away. Now it's time for a new letter to stay. We saw some of the most iconic rock ever made during this letter. Click here to see the "S" songs.

Totally tubular. "T" is done. The longest letter on the A to Z gave us an all-time 60s classic, a couple of current WMMR-fave artists, and so much more. Click here to see the "T" songs.

Unbelievable how quickly we're getting through this A to Z. "U" is small but unique, bringing us metal and grunge classics. Click here to see the "U" songs.

It's been a very vivid and vivacious A to Z. We made it to "V"! Click here to see the "V" songs.

Wow! We are within a wink of being done with the A to Z. What a wonderful and whimsical ride. In "W," we saw emo and classic rock legends go toe to toe. Click here to see the "W" songs.

We are done. It was an academic thrill ride of all of our favorite rock songs. We hope you enjoyed! The last three letters went by in a flash, so we got you covered in case you missed 'em. Click here to see the "XYZ" songs.
