95.Spin Doctors-2 Princes

80-The Cure-Pictures of You

67-The Rolling Stones-Sympathy for the Devil

53-Lou Reed-the ENTIRE Metal Machine Music ALBUM

45-Jimi Hendrix-Foxey Lady

26-Faith No More- Epic

16-David Bowie-Hang Onto Yourself

95 -- Damn catchy, fun, and harmless.

80 -- ...What? Legitimately good song. One of the Cure's best. Maybe Guitar World just aren't fans.

67 -- Not a huge Stones fan... but c'mon, that's a great song.

53 -- Nice to fall asleep to. And you know, it's obviously not easily-listenable on its own merits, but Reed definitely showed bravery in releasing it as a big name on a big label. At least cool for historical value.

45 -- Not a great Hendrix song, but it's a pretty cool riff... a little annoying, maybe, but not top-100 material. They're definitely just trying to stir shit up by putting Hendrix on here.

26 -- Fun pop song, catchy as hell.

16 -- GREAT song. What's their problem?

I can actually understand the beef with "Epic", and I'm the ULTIMATE Faith No More mark. The solo just does nothing for me. It sounds disjointed and sloppy and overdubbed inplaces. Faith No More still owns you,though.

You'd have to read exactly WHY the song's are picked. I have the issue, and issues with the playing come from sloppiness, Pro Tools-esque cutting and pasting, out-of-tune notes, or total lack of taste in terms of style or flow. It doesn't refer to the songs themselves, just the leads.

I'm trying to think of how any of the guitar parts to Living Colour's "Cult of Personality" are bad. I mean, the solo's NUTS and goes with the awkwardness of the main lick/riff.
