Malaga Virgen by Brand X. I'll be working on that one for quite awhile.

+1! I have almost zero respect for any of our nation's politicians, and would love to see some political change. That being said, it is NEVER permissible to harm innocent people to try to change the political scene. I'm just thankful that he can't hurt any other people.

Hate to add another post, but I want to bring up Gentle Giant's Free Hand. Quite a nifty lil' album.

Of the list above, my vote went for The Yes Album.

Great thread! I'm sure many of these have been mentioned earlier, but here's my list: Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo Brand X - Moroccan Roll ELP - Brain Salad Surgery ELP - Tarkus Frank Zappa - Hot Rats Frank Zappa - Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar Genesis - The Lamb...

If your playing becomes detrimental to the groove, then it's overplaying.

Not trying to bash Masaki too much, but listening to him reminded me of listening to an annoying guitard shredder. Serious wanking IMHO, but to each his own.

I'd say I'm an inferior mix of Boz Burrell and John Paul Jones. I like to use busy parts when applicable, but more than anything else I'd rather have bass parts that fit, regardless of degree of difficulty.

+1. Ummagumma had some pretty neat (albeit messed up) tracks, and "Several Species..." is probably my favorite of the album.

I like DT, but I have no hesitation in giving the nod to Rush. With Rush I can sit through the whole album, whereas I struggle to do this with DT. Plus, it's hard to argue against a band with 19 studio albums.

I'm feeling full of hatred today, so first here are the artists/bands that I absolutely hate: T-Pain Nickelback Lady Gaga

My favorites guitarists are usually the guitarists who can work well in the band without being the sole center of attention. My list is: Martin Barre (his work with Jethro Tull is underrated IMHO) David Gilmour Steve Howe Alex Lifeson Kerry Livgren (not flashy, but he knew his role and played...

Fair enough. While I don't completely agree with you, I can see where you're coming from. We can definitely agree that his rhythm work is just incredible. It's amazing...we just had a discussion with opposing views without any flaming (not to say that we've flamed each other ever, but there...

Alex Lifeson can't solo??? I'll agree that his early solos weren't great, but there are some good solos on Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. When I hear the solo on Free Will, the one thought that never crosses my mind is "Wow that solo sucks". To each his own I guess.

I gotta admit it took me awhile to notice anything weird about the stringing. My dad plays a left handed bass strung right handed, so growing up I got used to seeing it. I can see how it would be confusing though.
