Greatest guitar solo's according to Planet Rock's audience

[Rocky Raccoon]

hmmm there is only a couple there that should be, Comfortably numb is definately deserved though.....

 

[dishcloth]

I agree with #1.I can understand everyone gripes with the list, but it is a classic rock radio station. Of course it will be popular songs and songs that are often played on the radio. What do you expect?

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

Comfortably Numb definately deserves top place.
Im surprised All Along the Watchtower was not in the top 10. Also that there was no Randy Rhoades. Im also surprised that as this is more like a "popular" top 40, that John Sykes is not in there.
Did Tony Iommi not do anything worthy of a top 40 place?

Did Tony Iommi not do anything worthy of a top 40 place?

I dont think so actually. Sure he had some nice solos but it was more his riffs that were amazing/influential.

 

[Powers]

Thin Lizzy but no Cowboy Song?

 

[Powers]

And not a single Maiden track in the top 40?

 

[reidie]

Good too see randy and Zakk get No more tears and mr. Crowely..... Wheres Crazy Train though, that solo is far better than the two that made the list...

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

And not a single Maiden track in the top 40?

yeah i think you'll find the trooper there if you look again

 

[Powers]

So it is.

Fair enough.

 

[JuanDeLaForet]

No Aerosmith? :sad:

There's plenty of better solos from the Ozzy back-catalogue as well - ever really listened to the track "Tonight"? the outro solo's fecking awesome Rhoads......

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

oh, how i hate Aerosmith!

 

[Tubbs]

Good too see randy and Zakk get No more tears and mr. Crowely..... Wheres Crazy Train though, that solo is far better than the two that made the list...

I disagree, the No More Tears solo obliterates Crazy Train imo.

And not a single Maiden track in the top 40?

Yeah, I was wondering that too. I've been listening to them for the past few days, and they certainly deserve to be on that list. Maybe it's because people suck now and don't like Iron Maiden anymore? I'm thinking that might be it.

 

[:Wreath:]

ahem... trooper :Smug:

 

[soundave]

Highway Star and Sultans of Swing are definitely worthy of their positions. Great solos. Mark Knopfler is way underrated, imo.

 

[Tubbs]

ahem... trooper :Smug:

I should have rephrased myself. They really need more than 1 song on there by them. AT LEAST 2 is what I meant.

 

[metal_wrath]

lol @ m_w not knowing freebird, jesus christ

I was being sarcastic.....roflmao

 

[derbeder]

I would put Machine Gun rather than Hey Joe into the list.

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

yea fuck yea, the Machine gun solo is amazing!!!!
