Stuart Adamson had quite a few great guitar solos/riffs

Here's their first top-10 single

The opening guitar, as much as anything, but a great story of a song

Great tracks, from a great album. I can remember buying The Crossing back in 83, played it to death.

The legendary single take at the recording of The Reaper, as interpreted by Saturday Night Live. More Cowbell

Not my favourite, but a worthy mention. The song is essentially a giant solo, Eric Bell going absolutely nuts. Well worth getting the album Vagabonds of the Western World to check out Bells playing.

Has this by Brian Robertson been mentioned yet? No apologies if it has as it deserved being mentioned at least twice

Last from me for a while.

Pearl Jam's Mike McCready often gets overlooked.

Is this a solo?

A local radio phone in presenter described it as being similar to when cats fight at night,making those freaky shrieking noises.Mind you,he says The Beatles are one of his favourite bands...so there you have it!

Then we have The Stone Roses John Squire doing his thing on 7 mins 5 secs.

I guess Sabre Dance, by Love Sculpture is a 6 minute guitar solo (or, 11 minutes - I believe - if it's the album version)

I haven't heard this great track in decades. I'd forgotten it. I'll have to find this somewhere.

Thank you

Solo about 1:00

One critic stated;
Dave Edmunds' 1981 cover fared better in the marketplace (it was a minor hit in the U.K.), and if Fogerty's gritty voice suited the song better than Edmunds' smoother delivery, Edmunds' keening enthusiasm (and killer guitar solo) gave the song as good as it deserved.

Some great stuff here. Delighted to hear Nils get a mention - I still have many of his pre-E-Street band records - wasn't it Grin? He was great. No Mercy is a classic. I think he suffered when Tom Petty was his support act back in the late 70s and blew him away (although I know who I'd prefer).

It was Grin though the first time I became aware of him was via Neil Young. A friend turned up with After the Gold Rush, which had been around awhile, and the album "Nils Lofgren." Basically she said you have to listen to this. and I've been grateful all my life!!
