It would be a great Meat Loaf song (TEARS! TEARS!) but is kind of jarring at the end of Marquee Moon.

Just cos its way overplayed on rock radio (and all songs played on rock radio are overplayed because they only play like twenty) doesn't mean its not a fantastic song.

Jimmy Garrison's bass on John Coltrane's Part Three of A Love Supreme ("Pursuance").

Freddie Hubbard's trumpet on Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man".

I actually think that "Torn Curtain" is a little weak and kind of cheesy compared to the rest of that album. But I'm nitpicking, great fucking record.

"Boredom" by the Buzzcocks is the punkest solo ever. Two notes that obstinately refuse to go anywhere.

"Painkiller" and "Ram it Down" are my favorite Priest guitar duels.

"Logic" is a good word for it. And as much as I'm usually left cold by music that tries to be "cinematic" that bit in particular really nails it. It feels like it could belong in a trailer for a huge sci-fi action movie like Pacific Rim or something but still sounds totally uncheesy and unpretentious.

Also the absolute most perfect speedrock solo is Motorhead's "Ace of Spades"

Also anything from classic Chuck Berry.

Cowbell in LCD Soundsytem's "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House"

Pavement's "Embassy Row"

The solo in Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" (can't find the name of the guitar player).

The chromatic climb at the end makes me deliriously happy.

THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON: Accuse Akumaninja of being racist.

This is the most insanely specific gimmick account I've seen yet.
