"I don't care what anyone says, this is his best album. 'Say What!' is the best bit of guitar playing ever. 'Ain't Gonna Give Up On Love' is the best blues song ever. Other highlights include Change It"
"Johnny Marr's melodies are impossible to play, although I wish he did more solos. Best songs - 'Well I Wonder', 'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore', 'Meat Is Murder'"
"David Gilmour's solos are so precise and perfectly phrased that I think that I may as well just give up. Best songs - 'Another Brick in the Wall 2', 'Hey You', 'Comfortably Numb'"
"Proto-metal began here. Jeff Beck took blues, funked it up and made it heavier, and hey presto!, a new genre emerged. Best songs - 'Shapes of Things', 'Beck's Bolero', 'Blues De Luxe'"
"Jimmy Page's guitar parts in 'Stairway To Heaven' have rarely been matched in a rock song. He was also a great riffer. Best songs - 'Black Dog', 'Rock and Roll', 'Stairway To Heaven'"
"Blues virtuoso. You need this, if only to hear him murder Albert King and Albert Collins. Best songs - 'Oh Pretty Woman', 'Still Got the Blues', 'The Sky Is Crying' (bonus track) has an amazing solo."
"Eddie Van Halen invented metal guitar. The tapping, legato and alternate picking here still sounds amazing today. Best songs - 'You Really Got Me', 'Eruption', 'Ice Cream Man'"
"All the guitarists that played for Lynyrd Skynyrd were great, but Gary Rossington was the best. Great fifs, solos and slide guitar. Best songs - 'Free Bird', 'Tuesday's Gone', 'That Smell'"
"Randy Rhoads was a pioneer in the same vein as Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen. He's still overrated, though. Best songs - 'Crazy Train', 'Mr. Crowley', 'Revelation (Mother Earth)'"
