I would have to say TSO is what got me REALLY into playing guitar.

Great choices everyone!

Not much into lyrics-less music, but...

Oceansize - I Am The Morning
(From one of the most perfect albums ever)

Riverside - Reality Dream III
(Don't like them much but this one is excellent!)
[YOUTUBE]gHnPu444hbo[/YOUTUBE]


Amplifier - Gustav's Arrival
(Just to bring my favourite band into the game :d)
[YOUTUBE]z-N7g6Ke-Gk[/YOUTUBE]


Anberlin - A Heavy-Hearted Work Of Staggering Genius
(Perfect, but way too short)
[YOUTUBE]nuNwbEVVSx4[/YOUTUBE]


Porcupine Tree - Burning Sky
(No such thing as a Prog-/Post-/Psychedelic thread without Steven Wilson!)

I'm kinda fond of this one myself. Best drum solo I've ever heard

Ahhh, so much great stuff to choose from!
Not necessarly the best but amongst my all time favorites is quite a bit of Joe Satriani's instrumentals.
Magnificent technician who is at the same time able to play very melodic and with an intense feel.
This one for instance:

Joe satriani was the guitar teacher for another prodigy ... steve vai

I've seen Satch twice with Chickenfoot and can't stop playing the Chickenfoot album! I can't believe he can get so much sound out of one guitar.

Steve Vai is incredible as well. Ya-Yo Cakk is one of my favorite tunes and one of the first I plan on playing for the little RR130 when she comes home. He's a very humble guy too.

You can't forget Dick Dale. Tribal Thunder is a great album.

Another great instrumental is Mountain Jam by the Allman Brothers. The 33 minute version I first heard while driving home in the middle of the night during an ugly thunderstorm. It was incredible.
 
Wow, the drum solo in Inagatadavita man! :icon_lol:

Overshoe, I thought I was the only human in the USA to have that Mick Ronson album, certainly Slaughter on 10th Ave. is a rave of mine.

Since so many of my real favorites have been shown, I'll go with yet another genre and instrumental.

This is Karunesh, it makes me at peace with my world. A Russian modeling friend sent me the first music I ever heard by Karunesh, nee Bruno Reuter, in Colonge, Germany.

For all you "Prog Rockers out there.

A Fender promo video with my favourite instrumental track by Stevie Ray Vaughan

My pick is Dick Dale and the Del-Tones "Miserlou" - although contributing at guitar forums has led me to use the word "favorite" instead of "best". An old joke will explain why:

Q: How many guitar players does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

A: Ten. One the screw in the bulb, and nine others to watch the screwing in of the bulb very closely, and then claim they could have done it better.



ATTN djscoo,

If you like Explosions in the Sky, you may also want to check out some Daniel Lanois. A lot of his clips are up on YouTube. When I first saw Friday Night Lights I thought Explosions in the Sky were Daniel Lanois, but in the Director's Commentary, Peter Berg says who they were. It was the first time I'd heard of them. Anyway, the pop music critic at one of our local newspapers calls this type of ambient playing and production "Noir".

ATTN strega13,

I've seen Vai live playing with Billy Sheehan (who's from my part of the world). This was the concert event that persuaded me to always carry ear filters with me. My ears were ringing for days afterwards...

INTERNET MUSIC ARGUMENTS I WILL NO LONGER HAVE:

1) Fender vs. Gibson

2) Vinyl vs. digital

3) What sound frequencies the human ear and brain can and can not perceive.

Oh, the net RAGE over these things...

Goodbye Porkpie Hat

One guy I thought would be mentioned by now is Jeff Beck. Here's a performance from the Royal Albert Hall in 2004.

Yep, I gotta go with TSO and the Safari's Wipe Out. Also, Iron Butterfly's Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida drum solo.

Plus.... [I saw these guys back in 1968 in Potsdam, NY's Civic Center for a Potsdam State College concert]
