Well, like I said below to Dui, if someone enjoys something, more power to 'em. It's almost sorta quaint seeing outrage over perceived omissions on a list of...guitar solos. I could come up with some outrage of my own, and name players whose work is actually heard in this household...as opposed to these lists, mostly comprised of stuff I've heard way too many times, and much of which I never thought was all that good or even remotely interesting in the first place.This may sound strange coming from me, but I happen to like the early Van Halen recs quite a bit, in spite of all the elements contained therein which I loathe. Seeing the EVH Eruption footage does nothing but scream as loudly as could be how ultimately pointless his legacy is. As a guitar player. Who gives a shit? His best attribute to my ears was the pop sensibility that came through in the songs...and which magically disappeared when all of a sudden some guy with some sort of problem observing the speed limit became their lead singer.
The importance & significance placed on the guitar hero did a tremendous disservice, and a lot of damage, to rock music. I guess a discussion about solos at least shows that people care about music, but it's an aspect of music that completely & utterly misses the point.
And on the original 100 best string-belches list that inspired this nonsense, they couldn't even get all the facts straight. Shocker.
