My favorites:
“Maybellene” Released, 1955
Buddy Holly Gives America a Strat Attack, 1957
Bo Diddley Delivers The Beat, 1957
... although, from what I've heard, the "Bo Diddley Beat" story is mostly bullsh*t.

Ten Years After is recorded live while Alvin Lee grinds out a blistering rendition of "Going Home". Probably the fastest display of guitar acumen ever laid to tape.

Any list of the 100 greatest moments in the history of the guitar that doesn't include the recording of

Can somebody tell me (a non-guitarist) what this means:
When Tony Iommi seized upon the unholiest of intervals—the tritone—and played it with such a disturbingly sinister tone on the title track, he established the blueprint for every metal band that followed.
