I always thought that one of the best was in “Valerie” by the Monkees ...
Actually, that makes as much sense as most of the selections. No Chet Atkins or Les Paul? This survey must have been taken among teeny boppers.
Good ear — “Valerie” has a wicked solo, along with some great fuzz work during the verses. I just don’t recall which session guy played it. I’m pretty sure that Glen Campbell was through with session work by then, so I don’t think it’s him.
