Yes, like it, and a good song too. You know, until about 5 years ago, I'd never heard a Steely Dan album. I know - it's bad.

Not a traditional single guitar solo, but a meld of guitar takes, I never get tired of hearing the central guitar section of Hendrix' All Along the Watchtower. From the initial solo, to the quiet moody section, through to a bit of wah wah and then onto the funky uptempo bit - incredible. Played it a million times and it's still amazing. Not many songs have that durability.

Definite +1 on Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower". Jimi did such a fantastic job on that song he really made it his. When I hear Bob Dylan doing it I wonder "Why is Dylan doing a cover of that Jimi Hendrix song?" ;-)

I have a soft spot for CSNY's "Almost Cut My Hair", where Neil Young and Stephen Stills are battling it out.

Neil Young - Powderfinger

Yeah, I like that one too. I tell what is a great driving song, 'Cowgirl in the Sand', when the guitar bits get going between the verses is great. Love the guitar on 'Cortez the Killer' too - so atmospheric.

There are artists who should just write Music and artists who should play Music

I have a soft spot for that one, too. If you saw my hair you'd know why!

Keith Richards on Sympathy for the Devil both the studio version of Beggar's banquet and the live on Get yer ya-yas out still makes me crazy after all these years.
