Your favorite guitarists

[Knight1979]

Some of early Yes is fantastic and paved the way for groups like Radiohead and Sigur Ros.....but they went a little overboard and became a little too self indulgent. I always thought Howe, Squire and Bruford we're cool guys with the best intentions. As for Anderson and Wakeman......they became laughing stocks. Especially after Wakeman's fucking ice capades tour he did. Spinal Tap material there.

Just off to Oakwell now - might listen to Topographic Oceans on the way.
Then again...!

Nah.......put on South Side of the Sky and crank it up, that can rival anything in my opinion.

Agreed, but who's your favourite? I like Hendrix and Electric Ladyland is one of my favourite albums but I wouldn't say Hendrix is my favourite guitarist
