One of my favorite players, is Ian Bairnson of The Alan Parsons Project, tons of great solos, “Can’t Take it With You”, “Psychobabble”, “Games People Play”, the list goes on and on, one of the most underrated guitarists ever.
Don't forget the solo on "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" from "I, Robot."
I won't claim to know much about music now, and I even knew less 30 years ago but I always loved APP. The guitar playing was so much cleaner and the music so much more sophisticated than most of what was on the radio. Tales of Mystery and Imagination will always be on my favorites list.
