The AV Club's favorite guitar solos.
My favorite guitar solo is Bo Diddley's Pretty Thing. I don't think I've ever heard anything that sounds remotely like it, almost 60 years after it was recorded. It's like it came from an alternate universe or something.
Now I know where the Pretty Things got their name from.

Plus, Bowie's song "Oh, You Pretty Things."
My campaign for all Buffistas to see Frank Turner has claimed another victim :) I think Scola makes it five.

Most of MCR fandom's reaction is
"This still hurts, not over the band break up, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?"
I have those reactions, plus a faint hope that there will be one or two unreleased tracks on it.
