Van Halen Top Guitar Album Of All Time

[Terry]

Yeah, but Ronnie Lee Keel killed it...

The first solo Yngwie album reached a wide audience...

The tunes themselves on the Steeler album were a bit pedestrian, but the solos were fucking astounding...even more so at the time...

It was that period from 1983 to 1985, when the Steeler album, the Alcatrazz No Parole From Rock and Roll album and then Yngwie's first two solo albums were released (Marching Out is still the fucking bomb), when Yngwie was quickly replacing Eddie for a lot of budding guitarists (myself included) in terms of influence.

I suppose the difference, at least for me, is that while in time I was able to replicate a lot of Eddie's licks, Yngwie was just too fucking good...I didn't have near the amount of discipline to practice enough to be able to copy Yngwie's licks.
