Jeff Beck needs to be on here! — 29 weeks ago

“Blow by Blow” and “Wired” are 2 of the all-time best guitar instrumental albums ever released. Beck’s “Truth” featuring Rod Stewart (vocals), Ronnie Wood (bass), Mickey Waller (drums), Nickey Hopkins (keyboards) with guest spots by Keith Moon, John Paul Jones, and Jimmy Page (prior to the formation of Zep) is also a KILLER guitar god album. Tragic oversight here!

PS. I go with Television’s “Marquee Moon” as well!


Television's "Marquee Moon"?!?!?! — 3 years ago

An album which has some of the most beautiful, mind-boggling, intricate guitar artistry of all time is not on a ‘greatest guitar albums ever list’? Something’s amiss…


Where's Electric Ladyland? — 4 years ago

It boggles my mind that Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland isn’t on here and at the #1 spot.

I understand that Are You Experienced is supposed to be representative of Hendrix and was revolutionary since it was his debut, but he perfected and expanded his guitar experimentation to its apex on Electric Ladyland.
