someone mentioned the top 10 guitar solos, and that sounded like a great idea. Can we have a few more heavy metal top tens please, is that allowed. What about a top ten heavy metal bands.

1. Stone Roses - I am the resurrection. This rules it's as simple as that 2. Television - Marquee Moon. Not Tom Verlaine's bit, but the little widdly bit that Richard Lloyd does after the first chorus 3. Neil Young - All along the watchtower. There was this great bit a few years ago on the the telly where Neil Young and Pearl Jam do this and the boy from Pearl Jam do a solo each, and Neil Young's guitar is about 10 times as loud as the other bloke, and he just plays this one long wobbling note and then goes away, totally upstaging the pearl jam lad. 4. Yngwie J Malmsteen - oh alright, I just wanted to say his name 5. The End - The Beatles - John Lennon's bits 6. They're getting thin on the ground now... so someone else have a go, I'll pass the baton on to Tim Hopkins! Away you go Tim.

I think Tiff is still away in Brussels, feasting on the European sprout mountain, so I'm gonna but in... 1) Something by J Mascis. Arguably his career is a mere footnote to Mr Jung, but the solo on their version of "Just Like Heaven" rocks like a mutha. 2) Something by that Perry bloke out of the Only Ones. I've been listening a lot to The Only Ones recently, as a consequence of listening to that Hefner Lp, which has grown on me a lot. Not like mould, but like a beautiful flowery shrub thingy. So it's gonna hafta be the solo on "Miles from Nowhere" (Peel session version). 3) Pete Shelley's solo on The Buzzcocks' "Boredom". Ba-dum ba-dum. 4) Johnny Marr coming out of the closet as a true axe-hero on "Paint A Vulgar Picture". 5) The guitar playing all the way through The Blue Aeroplane's lp "Swagger" is just lovely. I think some bloke called Alex Bruschetta played on "And Stones", and that's the business. He's in Massive Attack's band now.
