Too many to mention. Metallica(Kirk Hammet) - fade to black, one, blackened, call of ktulu
Zakk Wylde - T.A.Z., speedball
Randy Rhoades - Dee
Steve Howe - Mood for a day
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride and Joy, Little Wing, Voodoo Chile (Yes I know they are Jimi covers)
Van Halen - Eruption
Victor Wooten - Amazing Grace or anything else
Bela Fleck - anything
Eric Clapton - Key to the Highway
I am a lonely man here...listening to Yes as I write this now matter of fact...I need to get mood for a day down...I have the thing down ok, but it needs work...nobody else really appreciates prog here...and if they do, it like minimal stff...

Anything by Frank Zappa. Say what you will about his lyrics or whatever, but DAMN, when he gets soloing...

Aww man you gotta listen to some Clapton, if you are gonna listen to Layla get the unplugged one, but get the normal one too where he just rocks out on the electric..pretty sweet man.

hells yes, tea party's great fun to play. could never play those rippin solos (i'm not a solo'er anyway) but jamming in Csus2 tuning, playing stuff like winter solstice and coming home acoustically... fun fun fun.

the hip, i'm a big fan of their classics. the lead riffs in new orleans is sinking are absolutely killer. i also love bob cajun. and whenever 'made in canada' comes on, i start grooving with the theme song.

i'm not a fan of rage, but even i have to admit that tom morello does some crazy cool stuff. like, weird weird stuff. i guess that's the advantage of having some sort of custom made guitar.
Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall...
