If you’re gonna use popular albums with singing on them as open for inclusion, I’d think you might want to also include so many more guitar based bands with wonderful guitarists like something from ZZTOP and Blue Oyster Cult—and I know I’m leaving out the blues guitarists from the black artists like Bo Diddley and Leadbelly.

The thing is, it’s not “50 Best ROCK Guitar Albums”, it is 50 Best Guitar Albums, period.

To have only rock guitarists is an absolute travesty.

Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, Paco de Lucia, Alan Hollsworth, John Williams, Christopher Parkening plus all the awesome country players out there, I mean WTH.

Not a single album in the list by Zappa, Satriani or Eric Johnson. Who came up with this list?

“Everyone in Blue Oyster Cult could play lead and at one part in every show all six guys in the band would strap on a Gibson and stand in line trading guitar leads back and forth.”

All siz? I thought BOC only had five members.

"All siz? I thought BOC only had five members."

you are correct, it was 5. I guess it just sounds like six. ;-)
