the beatles didnt write catchy pop songs they sang songs that may not make sense on the surface but after you analyze them they reflect the economy and the issues they were facing during the time the songs were written. Its not just songs they’re lead ways into history it shows a point of view which usually would just be glossed over.

Stevie Ray Vaughan has amazing style. Smoking a ciggarete. Just relaxed, Totally chill. He is amazing.

He and Eddie are my favorite guitarists hands down.

another great soloist who isnt a guitar solist, but Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull is really good its not an as well known band, but still amazing. One of the songs the band did was taking a classical peice and turning it into a rock peice with the flute it sounds stupid, but its actually very good.
