Your Top 5 Solos of ALL TIME....ALL TIME!!!

[jplpool]

Solos don't do it for me anymore.

May I attempt to change your mind with this offering? One of the most underrated 'Indie' bands of the 90's (though only making 1 album probably never helped)

The outro to this song is quite simply  and not just for the awesome guitar.

[The Spaghetti Incident?]

I know what you're getting at here - I'm not an indie fag that hates rock for the sake of it, I just find guitar solos are often unnecessary, sometimes it's so formulaic you just expect a guitar solo. Scratch that, always. You know when it's going to happen, and you can almost always guess how it will sound. Heard one generic rock solo you heard 'em all. Bumblefoot and Buckethead mix it up a bit - it isn't just the generic blues bending and scaling, which is nice and fresh, and the classics are always enjoyable - it's the over exposure that's ruined it for me.

I'm not getting at nothing TSI? I'm merely pointing out an awesome song by an awesome band. To be honest I couldn't give a fuck if you think Mcfly kick arse  I just think this band deserves attention.

just for the record the best British Indie bands of the 90's.

The Seahorses
The Verve
The La's
Ocean Colour Scene
Dodgy
Manic Street Preachers
Supergrass
Stereophonics(debut album only)
Radiohead
Oasis

Don't let your hatred of the latter two stop you from checking some of these bands out. They are all very different.

Did you listen to that link? I'd be interested to know your take on it....Good or bad.

[The Spaghetti Incident?]

Well that's the thing I might like some indie but it has to be good and a lot of indie isn't - I liked the song but it might not be something I could love. I like orchestral indie rock most of all there aren't that many of them but yeah. I dunno why everyone thinks I never listen to Radiohead (I guess because people expect everyone to like them - on Oasis though I flat out find them a pretentious bore, tried and can't like them) but Thom York is a horrid singer. OK Computer isn't the master piece everyone makes it out to be but it's ok, nothing special and neither is The Bends or Kid A. But Radiohead are hardly indie, they were with EMI

But yeah don't let me take the thread off course, enjoy the cock rock solos and junk

OUCH! 

I do normally highlight Indie as "Indie"

Yes, the logical next step after getting bored of guitar wanking is emo.
