awesome guitar songs and albums

--- Quote from: Johnny C ---
Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, I guess they just don't do it for me. If you enjoy music that sounds like the soundtrack to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game played by people who cater to one incredibly specific audience, namely needless-guitar-wank enthusiasts, then they'll be for you, and while I'm at it might I recommend Racer X?

That is totally the best fucking quote ever.
EDIT: SYD BARRET WAS COOLER. HE WAS LIKE, "FUCK YOU DAVID, IM GOING TO TRIP OUT ON THIS ACID, DRINK HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS, AND THEN WRITE SONGS ABOUT WHATEVER I FIRST SEE WHEN I WAKE UP FROM PASSING OUT. NAMELY, GNOMES AND BIKES
La Creme:
Racer X for yes.
And to Khar: That Death track is brilliance.

Guitar is an amazing instrument. This l'il list doesn't even scratch the surface of the amazing guitar out there.

I'm sad to say that I can see it.
Oh, have I mentioned that The Weakerthans can occasionaly bust out the guitar that makes you play along with your fingers whether you like it or not? Because for power-pop, they sure do. Especially if you've seen them live.
Wil is good. So is Haydn. Hayden? Whatever.
Oh, and Dinosaur Jr. I keep thinking of these bands. This list will never end.
Tartar Martyr:
Dinosaur Jr's first 2 or 3 full lengths are awesome. Especially "You're Living all over me" when J Mascis used nothing more than a jazzmaster and a few plexis. The array of sounds he draws from that set up is insane. Then he started to experiment with more electronics, and his sound got even crazier.
If you're into prog, some awesome guitar can be found on early King Crimson albums. Robert Fripp is amazing.
Gryff:
A guy called Snowy White used to perform David Gilmore's solos on stage for him out of the spotlight while DG took all the glory! Still, on record, Gilmore's solos are pretty hot no matter how he recorded them.
Also, I'll back the Black Keys for pure sex, add the 3Ds for obscure New Zealand indie guitar thrills, and mention Neil Young for ragged genius.
Plus My Bloody Valentine FTW!
