100. Chicago VIII - Chicago

WTF eh?

I've never heard this though...

[bueno bob]

Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" should have made the top 10 easy.

[Mr Badguy]

"Passion and warfare" in the top ten?

It must be about technical guitar playing and not about great guitar songs.

That LP isn`t great to listen to if you`re not a guitarist, I imagine.

[Mr Badguy]

"Axis:Bold as love" at 136?

Haven`t they heard the solo at the end of "Bold as love" or "Castles made of sand"?

That has to be in the top twenty.

Arguably a better guitar playing album than the more straight forward rock playing on "Are you experienced", with Jimi playing more Curtis Mayfield inspired stuff like "Castles...", "Little wing" and "One rainy wish".

[rustoffa]

Didn't see Dick Dale's "Tribal Thunder" on there...
deserves some credit as far as surf guitar goes.

[monkeythe]

That would be a pretty kickass CD collection to have. Although 2 Chicago albums on the list are 2 too many.

A fucking men

Axis Bold As Love = an amazing record.

[Panamark]

Did I miss Peace Sells ????? Megadeth ???
Never mind the bollocks ?? Pistols ??
Defenders of the Faith/British Steel - Priest ??
No Iron Maiden ???

Theres heaps missing...

[DeadOrAlive]

Almost all of the classic six pack is on the list!

[BrownSound1]

I'd say that list represents the overall best of rock guitar playing in general. I would have listed the order a bit differently, and I also wouldn't have had any goddamn Chicago albums on there. What, no Skynyrd? Did I miss them on there or were they not included?

15. Rising Force - Yngwie Malmsteen


Malmsteen has maybe 20 extra fingers, possible?

[VHII]

it does seem like he has that many fingers
