I like the guitar solo in the Proclaimers' 500 Miles.

[parksie]

Brighton Rock by Queen has a pretty good guitar bit in the middle IMNSHO :D

[chrisjk]

There's a quality riff in Buddy Holly/Weezer...infact, I might slap the cd and start air guitar-ing right now...

[parksie]

LOL That's the song on the Windows 95 CD isn't it? It might be on 98 as well...will get it out now ;)

[filburt1]

Yup, the 95 CD has MS propoganda, that movie, and a music video. :)

[Gary.Lowe]

Marcus Miller

Burning Down The House (Talking Heads Cover) from the new album M2

Best Bass Guitarist on the face of the planet. Went to see him play a few months ago.

[Iain17]

How about Dire Straights and Sultans Of Swing, amazing.

Or just about anything that Clapton did.

[parksie]

The coda to Layla absolutely kicks :)

[InvisibleDuncan]

So no-one's managed to come up with a great guitar solo by Steps, Hear'Say or Westlife?

Funny, that. :rolleyes:

[Ianpbaker]

[Gary.Lowe]

Harry doesn't seem to be doing his job, so somebody has to be pedantic :p

[barrk]

Yep, Harry has been slacking.....keep up the good work!:D

[parksie]

He's keeping something up :rolleyes:

[siyan]

Carlos Santana's little ditties over top of the music are great...most recently Maria Maria, Put Your Lights On, and Smooth (sadly overplayed).

Iain17 beat me to it: it's got to be Sultans of Swing especially the bit at the end. In fact that's my favourite number of all time.

Iain, whereabouts in Bucks do you live- I spent 2 years there on secondment to my employer's head office which was in Marlow. I lived in Wooburn Common which is near Beaconsfield. Lovely part of the world, although I'm a Sussex-ite by birth (Crawley).

[Iain17]

I live in in Wendover [Insert bad joke here] near Aylesbury.

It is indeed a very nice area. Though i am an Aussie by birth.

Is that what you meant? :p

[nabeels786]

lol

[Jim Brown]

No, he meant THIS bad joke....

A white horse goes into a bar, and orders a beer. The barman- as is a barman's wont- strikes up a conversation (because in jokes like this, horses can talk of course) and says "Funny thing, we've got a brand of Scotch named after you". "What, you mean Eric?", says the horse.

(I probably meant barperson, didn't I?)

Or alternatively......

Two guys have been crawling round the desert for days and at last get to a town. So they crawl in and find the market place. They go to the first stall, and ask for a long cool drink. Stall owner say, "Sorry Squires, but all I have are these lovely puddings made of spongecake and cream, with little coloured things sprinkled on top, and it's all soaked in Sherry, too". So they try the next stall, he's also only got these marvellous tasty puddings with cream and ice-cream and 100s and 1000s on top.

After about 10 stalls they give up, becasue all they can get are these loverly puddings full of spongecake and sherry. The one guy remarks how strange it was, that every stall seemed to sell only rich creamy puddings with coloured bits on top. The other guy agrees, "Yes, it was a trifle bizarre."

(Or girls.)
