Thought this list was Interesting. I must agree, with the number one choice.
Though I think if Jimi Hendrix had been around,wonder what other amazing music he would have played.:thumb:
Rock Out! Best Ever Air Guitar Song :cool:
Inline Image:
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/gillie6/zeppelin200.jpgLed Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven the been voted the ultimate guitar solo of all time. The Jimmy Page epic beat the likes of Guns N' Roses' Paradise City and Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child to best air guitar moment. The solo was voted for by almost 2,000 readers of Total Guitar magazine.
Despite never being released as a single, the 1971 song remains one of the most-played rock songs ever.
It has been covered by everyone from Dolly Parton to Rolf Harris.

10 include The Eagles' Hotel California, Cream's Crossroads, Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
Total Guitar editor Stephen Lawson said: "Absolutely everyone loves to play air guitar when they hear the moment in a song where the guitarist rocks out.
"I'm not surprised that Stairway to Heaven is number one - not only is Jimmy Page's solo incredibly ballsy and a little bit flash, but it is also brilliantly structured."

WHERE DA FUCK IS FREEBIRD
Guitar magazine polls are utterly irrelevant, and highly predictable bullshit. It's always the same fucking dad's album collection crap from the 60's, 70's and 80's ROCK LEGENDS, with a little bit of flavour of the month (Ozzy, Metallica) ROCK LEGENDS thrown in to mix. These polls will remain the same for all time

Bohemian Rhapsody is a fucking clever ass solo though

No 'Money for Nothing' or 'Sultans of Swing'?
That list sucks.

Private Investigations was one of my favourite tracks.
Still vote "Stairway to heaven" though. Or what about Deep purple "Smoke on the water"?.:angel:

I'd be very surprised if anyone else knows of them, but Eternal Tears of Sorrow have a song called "The River Runs Through It" from their album; A Virgin and a Whore.
This, my friends is what air-guitaring was invented for.

Savatage - "Gutter Ballet" makes me pull out the strat and blow the dust off.
As for Guitar magazine polls... I think I remember Guitar Player ranking In my dreams from Dokken as the best guitar solo ever... George Lynch was good, but not that good.
