I drove behind a car with a Darwin fish sticker this morning. Never seen one of those before - great idea!

Great Songs Ruined By Crap Guitar Solos

by Jack 4/11/2008 10:35:00 AM
Well, there I was enjoying Willie Nelson's version of Bob Dylan's "Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power)", when along comes the guitar solo. Now, Willie Nelson's guitar solos are an acquired taste at the best of times, but his staccato acoustic style does have it's own charm. On this track however, he just completely fluffs a run. The kind of thing where you'd expect the producer to say "OK, let's just try that again." It's a shame as it's a great track, but I just wince every time it gets to the solo.

This got me thinking about other tracks ruined by guitarists who where either misguided, overconfident, drunk, stoned, just plain bad or a combination of all of these. The, very short, list so far is:
  • Willie Nelson - Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power) Nuff said
  • Sandy Denny - Solo What a wonderful song. What a dreadful, tinny, rambling guitar solo (is it Richard Thompson?!).

Here's a neat way to detect IE7 and newer browsers with JavaScript that should be future proof as well:

if (!(window.XMLHttpRequest)) {
//do stuff for IE6 and older browsers here
}
