Making Use of the SDUGF Faves List

Aw man!

Pick one of the other guys left over!

I'll suggest a couple of obvious tunes for Peter Green, both of which are available on "The Best of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac."

"Albatross" - one of very few instrumentals to be a massive radio and chart hit. Haunting, atmospheric and beautiful.

"Oh Well" - killer riff, outstanding dynamics and plenty of Peter Green magic.



Cheers...................................... wahwah

Awesome choices, Geoff! If someone didn't take Peter Green soon, I was going to take him myself. "Oh Well" was my first choice.

Yeah, I'm with ya. I'm listening to a live version of it right now, and I can't help thinking that a young Jim Page must have been listening closely thinking, "this gives me a good idea for the sound of the band I want to put together." That and Jeff Beck's "Truth" album, of course!

Incidentally, the Black Crowes did a great live version of "Oh Well" with Mr. Page. Check it out if you haven't already.

Hey, on a side note, I see your shows did so well that you're continuing through November. Excellent news! Any YouTubes for us yet?

Yeah, it's going great my friend, they've called us back for another 4 shows, we did the first of them last night. I can't explain how much fun I'm having! We filmed the third show, but I haven't seen the footage yet. It wasn't our best gig and we've since replaced the sound guy with someone we prefer, but if any of it is up to scratch, I'll be putting it up. I want to film one of these upcoming gigs, the band is a lot more settled now. Getting to play "Mistreated," "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," "Since I've Been Loving You" and "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" in the one set is good for the soul!

46 John Petrucci.

songs

1. A Change of Seasons - Very awesome intro. WIDE range of styles are covered. Good song to show someone everything Dream Theater is. Epic. Good story. The definative Progressive Metal track. Heavy, Melodic, and Progressive

2. In the Presence of my Enemies: Systematic Chaos - The end all Drum Theater song for everything under the sun: Speed, power, riffs, tone, techinque. Make you want to puke unison lines. +1 on recording the actual impact of Jordan hitting the keys during the unison. Very good production. Good story about falling from grace and getting redeemed. Based off of an Anime story.

Only good can come of something like this.

Thanks, Grumpness. Which part do you want to list for "In the Presence of My Enemies"? Looks like there's a Part 1 and a Part 2.

John Mayer didn't make the top 75.

I think it's hilarious that there was such an uproar here on the forum a month or so ago about how awesomely great John Mayer is, yet he didn't make the list.

He was #76 on the list.

He was #76 on the list.

but #76 isn't good enough to make it in the top 75...lol. Too bad...so sorry.

Honestly, I don't know where he ended up on the list, but it certainly wasn't in the top 75.

both parts = epic

[JOLLY]

I picked Ty Tabor on this list. I think it's just easier if I just shove the songs down your throat as opposed to ask you to listen to them....lol. Come on man, that's some fantastic guitar playin. It's just emotional, toneful, squeaky, and all kinds of good stuff!! That guy's phrasing just blows my mind man. At least give it a listen. A real guitar player would.

You don't have to watch the videos......just listen man....just listen

No one did Josh Homme?

Oh go on then. Just don't expect any new QOTSA love.

Kyuss - Gardenia
from the album Welcome to Sky Valley

This track made me the music fan/musician/all round lover of the unusual I am today. If it weren't for Kyuss I would never have opened the door into the entire world of underground rock/metal/indie/whatever other weird stuff. I didn't know a band could be that heavy, yet so ethereal at the same time.

QOTSA - Better Living Through Chemistry
from the album Rated R.

This is just one of the greatest blissed out trips ever set to tape.

Thanks, Rich!

Seven guitarists remain:

B.B. King
Mike Campbell
Buckethead
Steve Morse
Dan Huff
Pepper Keenan
Rik Emmett

I'd take one of these myself, but I just don't know them well enough to make decent selections.

[Pink Unicorn Horsey]

We're done!

Thanks very much to everyone who contributed. We now have an unofficial catalog of suggested—if not required—listening for all forum members. The final total is 155 songs: two from each artist, with the exception of Petrucci because of the two parts to "In the Presence of Enemies."

I'm completing an iTunes playlist for myself. Can't wait to put the whole thing on shuffle.
