well obviously the people taking the poll are idiots, as it is well
known that the best guitar solo of all time is Leslie's West's solo
in "Travellin' in the Dark" on "Nantucket Sleighride"

Damn!
I have never heard that song, but having listened to Leslie's playing on
"Mississippi Queen," I want to seek out the CD.
My old Senior Chief in charge of my division in the Navy told me once
about seeing Mountain perform and how incredible they were, but he
mentioned in passing how corpulant Leslie was.
I see no impediment to good guitar work there, though.
Randy Bachman, anyone?

fat fingers can make that big ol thick vibrato sound of his float n
the air.
However, I've seen him when he was skinny & same sound seemed to come
outa him..er well rather that double stack of Marshalls directly
behind him<g>
Saw them live many a time when they passed thru Detroit, never less
than a total blast up on that stage.

Time solo is 100 times better. And though Barrett never played any solo
in Interstellar Overdrive... his riff in that song is like a million
times better than any Gilmour solo.

It's a different solo. I'd say they're both among Gilmour's best.

I like Interstellar Overdrive, but your statement is just plain stupid. I
know you're particular mental illness requires that you make statements
that make you look like a fucking retard, but can you for even ten seconds
suppress this sick desire to psychologically masturbate on newsgroups?

It's what's between his ears that appears to be the problem.

Maybe they liked that riff better six years earlier when it was an
octave lower and called the opening riff of Crazy Train. Riffs are
not "guitar solos", anyway.

I had no idea GnR were still so revered in the UK; they've fallen out
of favor quite a bit on US Classic Rock radio.

So this list is really "top 40 classic rock songs with guitar parts".
Or something.

And the opening riff of Crazy Train is nothing at all like the opening of
Sweet Child o' Mine, no matter what octave you play it...

We have enough teenage males to keep them at some level of stardom

Also I see that as usual Maggot Brain didn't make the cut. Typical
cracka list-compilers

The man keeping old George Clinton down.
Seriously, I really like Parliament/Funkadelic.
