[Rhye]

1) Queen (far above anyone)

2) U2 (but only the 80's, last albums make me sick)
3) Led Zeppelin
4) Pink Floyd
5) Oasis
6) Radiohead (only the first 3 albums)
7) Cranberries
8) Aerosmith
9) The Beatles


P.S. For you all Vanilla Ice fans, I suggest you to download the song "Ice Ice Baby" (released in the 90's) and compare it with Queen's "Under Pressure", released in 1982.
SCANDALOUS COPY AND PASTE!!!!!!!

 

[G-Man]

Queen really are good. I especially like innuendo. Great song. But then again I like almost any song that has guitar solos in it.

 

[Whiskey Priest]

1) Bad Religion
2) Neil yOung
3) Underworld
4) Radiohead
5) Van Halen (I like them, but I wouldn't say they are good...)
6) The Guess Who
7) The Who
8) Pearl Jam (they should actually be higher but I'm to lazy to change it)
9) Pulp
10) Ozzy or Black Sabbath

actually after the first two there really is no order

oh yeah, Pink Floyd and Bowie, social Distortion, Rolling Stoens, Portishead, Oasis and Placedo, Daft Punk

2) U2 (but only the 80's, last albums make me sick)

Achtung Baby definetly rivals Joshua Tree and Unforgettable Fire as U2's best album.....

5) Van Halen (I like them, but I wouldn't say they are good...)

Roth Van Halen = good
Van Hagar = ho hum

G, I love guitar solos too. I think the best part of any song is the guitar solo.

My favorite ones from U2 are in the songs All I Want is You, Love Is Blindness, Acrobat, and the Live Aid version of Bad.

Other guitar solos....almost any one by Pink Floyd, also Hotel California by the Eagles, most of Queen, and almost any song by Metallica. November Rain, Don't Cry, Sweet Child o Mine, Estranged, and Civil War by GNR have awesome solos too.

Also Heard it through the Grape Vine by CCR.

For more cool guitar that's almost all solos, try Joe Satriani.

 

[Rhye]

Sorry, I wasn't refering to Achtung Baby.
Anyway, I'll give you MY votes to the U2 albums:
Boy -> 7.5
October -> 9
War -> 8.5
The Unforgettable Fire -> 8
The Joshua Tree -> 9
Rattle And Hum -> 6.5
Achtung Baby -> 7
Zooropa -> 2
Pop -> 5
All That You Can't Leave Behind -> 4

My favourite U2 songs are:
1) Tomorrow (1981)
2) Sunday Bloody Sunday (1983)
3) A Celebration (1982)



If you like guitar solos, you'll find tons of these in Queen songs and in Led Zeppelin songs: Brian May and Jimmy Page are amazing....I can't say the same about The Edge

BTW, Hotel Calfornia (1975) was copied from Jethro Tull's "We Used To Know" (1969). At first I couldn't believe it, but I must admit that it's true , and I suggest you to download it.

[G-Man]

I think Dire Straits have the best guitar solos. Both classic (Private Investigation) and electric (Money for nothing). I think all of their songs are full of guitar solos.

 

[Vrylakas]

MC5.... just plain good
Subhuman, man, i love that 'no's ogn....

MC5? Now theres a name I haven't heard in many a long year, ever since I had John Sinclair flayed alive with a spatula and an overripe aubergine.
