Best Guitar Band part11

I wouldn't classify the Quicksilver Messenger Service as a great guitar band. They had a few good tunes, but really did not crank out the guitar except on the Happy Trails album. They played for dope, and when they ran out of it, they played for more. I did not see your list, but my favorite guitar bands include Wishbone Ash (3 guitars!!), Jeff Beck, Captain Beyond (they were originally part of the second Iron Butterfly incarnation), and New Improved Blue Cheer (whose album I played last night). Others could include Foghat (and the original Savoy Brown Blues Band, which disbanded to form Foghat), Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, Montrose. My favorites, though, are Hendrix and Jeff Beck. Others that don't qualify as rock are Al Dimeola and John Mclaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, which both are under jazz fusion.

Whattsa matta?? Nobody here a Who fan?? Isn't "Who's Next" one of everybodies Desert Island Disks?? Maybe no one has mentioned Tom Petty & the HeartBreakers because they were later, but these guys put out some great music. Also, despite the fact that they only produced one collection, Derek and the Dominoes may be the best guitar band ever recorded.

Ok, If your talking about great bands, with unbelievable guitar playing, you can't get much better than ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons is the only guitar player officially endorsed by Hendrix. Have Mercy

Can I get an amen for Parliment/Funkadelic, Television and the original Electric Flag. Mike Bloomfield seems to be a forgotten guitar hero, but he's arguably the best "white boy" blues player ever. The first EF album, "A Long Time Comin'", has some of the finest guitar playing I've ever heard. Bloomfield was magnificent!

Without a doubt, it was Cream. Runnerup: Jimi Hendrix Experience.Saw them both live and just can't forget it!
