How in the word did I forget "Comfortably Numb"?

[r9etb]

Any "best guitar" list without names like Django Rheinhardt is displaying the ignorance of its compilers....

[flada]

Cool, La Villa Strangiato made that list--way down at 79--but at least Alex is on the list somewhere. Should be on lists of great guitar work much more, imho.

58. Surfing With The Alien - Joe Satriani

Under-rated.

[Mad Dawgg]

Working Man at #99 and Southern Man rated higher at #55???

I call Bullsh!t right there!

Bump for bookmark

84. Far Beyond The Sun - Yngwie Malmsteen

:-(

Only #84, I can't believe it.

[nomorelurker]

Very good list, but maybe I read to quick no Carlos Santana?

[MikeD]

Interesting list, but I would have rated "The Millionaire Waltz" as Brian May's best, and "Dogs" well above "Atom Heart Mother." At least some of these selections are interesting (a la "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad").
