This is one of the most important rock/soulful CD's you can have in your collection. It's like a beautiful and intense painting that you have to engage with. A rock mantra. For all guitar players to enjoy.

Stevie Ray sings and plays from the heart. Great first cd for anyone. Imagine what kind of jams he would be pulling down today!

Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock

CD-Charts > Music > Rock Guitarists
by: Joe Satriani

Release Date April 01, 2008
I believe Satriani is a great guitar player, however most of this cd sounds like a reminiscence of another great... Check Jeff Beck's work.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Greatest Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Rock Guitarists
by: Stevie Ray Vaughan

Release Date October 31, 1995
The name of this album should be "I Am the Greatest!" because that is what this album is for Stevie Ray. Any blues/rock lover will absolutely wear this CD out because it is the vary essence of SRV music. The only CD left to buy is his Live at Austin City Limits, his best performance ever in my opinion!

Van Halen

CD-Charts > Music > Rock Guitarists
by: Van Halen

Release Date September 19, 2000
ESSENTIAL ALBUM!!! One of rock's outstanding debuts that ranks in the top 20 debuts ever. Eddie Van Halen stunned the world with his incredible leads & there weren't too many better front men than David Lee Roth. Though the album only peaked at #19, it's not indicative of the quality of this album. There were two singles from the album that charted: "Runnin' With the Devil" (#84) & "You Really Got Me" (#36). Once again, the performance of the singles doesn't give the proper credit to the band.

The album opens with "Runnin' With the Devil" which showcases the talent of Eddie Van Halen. Van Halen knew how to give us hard rock with a very keen perception of pop & concise songs; rarely, if ever, did their studio recorded songs ramble ... Read More:

The Best of Santana

by: Santana

Release Date March 31, 1998
I bought the compilation for"No One to Depend On" snd found every cut worth while. The drumming is awesome and Greg Rolle(later of Journey) is great on the early tracks keyboards. This is the best of an iconic classic rock artist.

Riding with the King

CD-Charts > Music > Rock Guitarists
from: Reprise / Wea

Release Date June 13, 2000
This is not a serious BLUES ALBUM. It is fun to listen to......but I exspected a much more serious SONG SELECTION for these 2 great singers. The "TITLE SONG", is some-what of a joke song. The song "DAY's OF OLD", just doesn't sound like blues. And "I WANNA BE", sounds almost like a rock ANTHEM. The rest is really good, but at 12 songs it's rather short. I would suggest, since BB KING is 82 yrs. old, that these guys get back together and make a serious sounding......DEEP.....blues album ( OLD GRITTY, RAW BLUES SONGS ). BB ain't going to be around forever ( THOUGH HE SINGS LIKE IT ), so hurry up...CLAPTON.

The Cream of Clapton

CD-Charts > Music > Rock Guitarists
by: Eric Clapton

Release Date March 07, 1995
Really , someone tell the RECORD LABEL or CLAPTON...."to add this song at the bottom of this track list in a remaster or re-print". Man !! This is like BABE RUTH without a baseball-bat. YEP !! Clapton left off his HOME-RUN ( the song ), off this album. That just doesn't score very many points. ONLY 4 STARS.

In Through the Out Door

CD-Charts > Music > Rock Guitarists
by: Led Zeppelin

Release Date August 16, 1994
Hey! I love "Hot Dog." It is a fun song. Sometimes all a good song needs to be is fun. I'm sure that was what they were thinking. And Zep never padded the albums with filler. As far as the rest goes...the times were changing and so were Jimmy and company. I'll meet you half way and say a three star for a Zep album and a four star to anything else released by another artist that year. Final thought: Jimmy was out of it and every band needs to evolve and try something different. I will never forget the weird water color album sleeve. What was that all about?
