You realise, John, you have started a major discussion in this household now and Mr SDS is treating me to various solos that would be in his list. Me - I was tempted to suggest 'Boredom' by Buzzcocks for reasons I wouldn't need to explain, but listening to Jimi's version of 'All Along The Watchtower' this morning I would have to put it up there. Must be others I can't think of right now but the cogs are whirring....!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-570984090577561952022-08-27T00:08:55.956+01:002022-08-27T00:08:55.956+01:00It was always my intention to do a post on what I ...It was always my intention to do a post on what I considered to be the Fuckest Uppest Guitar Solos.

It's a thing of absolute beauty and restraint that's for sure and I can quite see why it means so much to you.<br />If you'd asked me ahead of time to guess your favourite guitar solo, considerable amounts of water would've flowed under the bridge before I got anywhere near Fotheringay.
