Reply to comment by Mrofcourse in A rant about Maggot Brain... by wtanz

Hazel is for sure top five but hendrix said billy gibbons was the man. I love the solo for joe blues and just got paid. Not nearly as long as maggot brain but I love the way he plays. Bonnamassa blues deluxe is a good one too. All great stuff. Like asking who has the best anything.

Stoner Metal Eh?

This isn't really rock but one os my favorite eccentric albums.

"Oysterhead is an American rock supergroup featuring bassist Les Claypool of Primus, guitarist Trey Anastasio of Phish and drummer Stewart Copeland of The Police, with both Claypool and Anastasio providing vocals. The band's eclectic sound has been described as "alt-funk fusion"

It's parody of course, but "Double Team" by Tenacious D was basically written to be the epitome of this.

As for songs that are ostensibly serious, "Rock You Like A Hurricane" is kinda it. Everyone only knows the chorus so people are like, oh yeah that's just a song about rocking hard, the band is gonna rock us hard, right? Uh uh, that's a song about what to do when "the cat is purring," which, according to the lyrics, is "give her inches and feed her well" because "Lust is in cages 'til storm breaks loose"

I literally see maggot brain on every best guitar solo thread. So much so that I thought you were going to go the other direction and call it overrated.

To me the best guitar solo is most definitely The Star Spangled Banner by Jimi Hendrix.

A lot of people will talk about their favorite concerts and I think Jimi live at Woodstock is one of the best live performances ever captured. It also showed how much of a powerhouse Jimi was on the guitar and how much he commanded the stage.
