I’ve seen them a dozen times over the past 30 years. Always a great show.

If you included a Bass Guitar category, then it goes to “How Many More Times” - Led Zeppelin.

Guitar: Steely Dan - Reelin’ in the Years

Wow, I thought I was the only one who is amazed at the fantastic guitar track on this song. Pure, clean and perfect without the distortion, shredding, tapping, and effects that other guitarists need to sound good. Absolutely brilliant.

Deep Purple: My Woman From Tokyo.

Drums: Ian Paice.
Guitar: Ritchie Blackmore.

Just about the coolest drum work of any rock-n-roll song I know of.

Steve Gadd's work in the final coda of Steely Dan's Aja is also incredibly cool, but I don't think of Aja as rock-n-roll.

*Tip of the hat*

The sky’s the limit, and this thread could have gone on for day if I didn’t specify rock, but there are so many greats:

Chet Atkins
Glenn Campbell
Brent Mason
Pat Methany
Al DiMeola
Segovia
Larry Carlton
Allan Holdsworth

I also would have mentioned Robert White of The Funk Brothers, and his intro to My Girl.

That entire song by Alvin Lee was epic. “I’m Going Home” was what most of the other guitarists at Woodstock were thinking of doing after witnessing that performance.

Aja’s my favorite Steely Dan album (my better half prefers Goucho). I’d describe the music as contemporary rock.

“Guitar Intro”?

Are you kidding me!

“Can’t You Hear Me Knocking”, Stones and “The Ocean”, Zeppelin...best ever, nothing close.

“Drum Intro”?

“Mississippi Queen”, Mountain.

Piker! ;o)

I listed that on my Honorable Mention list. There are just too many to choose from, and that’s a great thing.

Gaucho for me. “Babylon Sisters” and a drink is just the prescription for me after a rotten day at work.

Aja’s my favorite Steely Dan album (my better half prefers Goucho). I’d describe the music as contemporary rock.

Aja is, IMHO, pretty much a perfect album. Every song on it is a classic, fascinating, unforgettable. The title song is a masterpiece.

Gaucho is almost as good. Pretty much every song on it is about activities that are illegal or immoral, which, as I get older, causes me some qualms. Mark Knopfler's guitar solo on Time Out Of Mind is a beautiful puzzle I've never been able to figure out to my satisfaction, though I keep trying.

Sounds like you share the same good taste for Steely Dan as my side kick. Third World Man is my favorite off the album.

"Reelin’ in the years"

That was by a guy named Elliot Randall. He also did a bunch of stuff on his own and still rocks out today.
