Music in a big part of my life. I take it very seriously, mostly because
I enjoy it so much. My tastes span decades and genres, but I have to confess,
screaming electric guitars figure large in my listening choices.
Here's a sample of what's on my short list. These are all on my Bucket
List (the list of songs I'd like to listening to when I kick the
the bucket):
Title | Artist | Album | Guitarists (if different from Artist) |
---|---|---|---|
Machine Gun | Jimi Hendrix | Band of Gypsies | |
Traveling in the Dark | Mountain | Nantucket | Leslie West |
It's My Fault | Johnny Winter And | Live | Johnny Winter Rick Derringer |
Magna of Illusion | Blue Oyster Cult | Imaginos | Robby Krieger |
Comfortably Numb | Pink Floyd | The Wall | Dave Gilmour |
Pride and Joy | Stevie Ray Vaughn | Texas Flood | |
Lazy | Deep Purple | Machine Head | Ritchie Blackmore |
Crossroads | Cream | Wheels of Fire | Eric Clapton |
Since I've Been Loving You | Led Zeppelin | IV | Jimmy Page |
Messin' | Manfred Mann's Earth Band | Get Your Rocks Off | Mick Rogers, guitar |
Can't You Hear Me Knocking | Rolling Stones | Sticky Fingers | Keith Richards Mick Taylor |
Willie the Pimp | Frank Zappa | Hot Rats |
I'll add more things to the list, but before that happens, each item on the current list, each song, each band, each guitarist, will have a link to follow to find out more about why each of them are on the list in the first place. I hope you find those notes interesting, enlightening or at least not boring. I hope at the very least you take a list to what's here and decide for yourself if it deserves to be on your list.
