I know that @dflea and Highway to Hell is the real winner, but I'm a sucker for Talk Box riffs and Joe Walsh is the master here.
Nice list
Let it be known I voted for an Eagles song.
I hate to pick the obvious one, but…
It's the clear choice. They are the Alabama of riffs from 1976 to 81.
H2H will be the runaway winner. Shout out to a scrappy upstart that should've made the final cut...Message in a Bottle.
Yeah, probably should have made the cut if I only did 1 VH and 1 AC/DC.
Sleeper pick: I love Canary in A Coalmine in 1980.
I was gonna add Train in Vain by the Clash for @Laocoön but ran out of space.
Agreed. Hundred billion castaways looking for a home.
Hell, The Police best guitar riffs would be a good pole on its own. Message in a Bottle, Roxanne, Bring on the Night, Every Breath You Take.
let's not forget @YellowSnow hates chocolate people.
(Technically released in 1978 so he gets a pass here).
Sheesh. You can't hold my jock strap on the music of the late 70s and early 80s Green Lake Bruthas, pod-nuh.
Dude. I went to a black high school and balled out. Boom box Parliament, Ohio Players and Confunktion accompanied every practice.
My HS had one black kid out of 550 students. But still, my collection of jazz, blues, soul, funk is impressive.
'Walk All Over You' is the best guitar work on the H2H album.
H2H still earns my vote and is rightly beating the pants off the competition here.
Clearly a DEI record. TITTT
