sure taste is relative, but this just scares me.

All bullshit.

Check Neil Young's one-note solo on "Cinnamon Girl." It blows all that crap right off the fretboards.

I think the aim of articles such as this is to motivate middle-aged consumers to buy the album with said guitar solo featured on it yet again, in this year's new digital platform.
I'm serious here. I worked for five years at one of the rare full-catalog music retail stores in the country, and I cannot explain how else we were able to move Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble CDs.
I developed the suspicion that the first albums to be reintroduced as super-audio or DVD-Audio or remastered "Hybrids" were CDs whose sales had long surpassed it's zenith in it's existing format. One could make the case that it would be lucrative to invent new "super" formats solely to re-market a sure seller like Dark Side of the Moon.

I think I have only three of those solos on CD or vinyl, so what do I know?

This list includes the most dangerous, edgy, and adventurous guitar players -- nay, musicians -- of all time. These guys have done the most groundbreaking, inventive, and challenging work in the history of all music, and they didn't take any names during all they ass-kicking. Wow. Just reading the list, I am humbled . . . I think we're all truly honoured even to be able to read this list of names. That's it -- I just now quit being a musician.

was anyone else dangerously obssessed with the solo to "trippin' on a hole in a paper heart" by stone temple pilots when they were in high school?

They forgot to print half the title to this story called "20 Greatest ClearChannel Classic Rock Guitar Solos Plus A Mediocre Dimebag Solo".

"Heartbreaker"? The solo on "Heartbreaker" is the sound of Jimmy Page taking an otherwise-aight rock song with a good riff and pooping directly on the acetate.

There is only one Greatest Solo of All Time, and that is Maggot Brain.

Can a magazine just once do a ranking of the "Greatest Instances of Abstaining from a Solo of All Time?"

I'm sure we can all think of some great nominees.

"Psycho Killer"

"Didn't We Deserve..."

"Damaged Goods"
