Guitar Reviews by Ian Allen

1. The Black Crowes : Greatest Hits 1990-1999 A Tribute To A Work In Progress... ·
   I love this album, it couldn't be better. There are some great songs with Rich Robinson's slide guitar, and Chris Robinsons amazing lyrics.

2. The Yngwie Malmsteen Collection ·
   This record starts out with Black Star, and Far Beyond the Sun, which Yngwie claims "sums up my style." It also has a ten minute guitar solo on track 10 that will blow you away!

3. Back In Black by AC/DC ·
   Bonn Scott, in my opinion, will always be the bands best singer but this album still rocks!

4. Millenium by Backstreet Boys ·
   Maybe i would give these less than heterosexual guys more credit if they wrote their own lyrics, played their own instruments, and wern't put together by their record label.

5. Monsters and Robots by Buckethead ·
   My friend played this CD for me and his guitar playing blew me away. I am surprised he doesn't get more credit.

6. Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan ·
   What a great album. Some of his best songs on one CD. A great album to listen to while sitting around with pleasent company sipping on a drink.

7. Garbage by Garbage ·
   I think this is their best album. One of my favorite songs from it is Supervixen. The guitars are pretty rough though.

9. Houses Of The Holy by Led Zeppelin ·
   Their first album with a title. Thsi record has great songs on it like The Song Remains the Same, The Crunge, and D'yer Mak'er (sopposedly pronounced "Jamaica".) A great album. If you can, try to pick it up on vinyl.

11. Automatic by Dweezil Zappa ·
    This is among one of the greatest guitar recordings I have ever heard in my life! Ranks right up there with Steve Vai, and his father Frank Zappa. There are no keyboards or samples on this record. It's all guitars! Included tracks on this album ...(more)

12. Sheik Yerbouti by Frank Zappa ·
    This is an excellent recording. All but 2 songs include lyrics. This is a recording that is easy to listen to the whole way thru. Terry Bozzio's drumming is superb and the guitar couldn't get any better. The track "Rubber Shirt" takes a bass par...(more)

14. Fort Wayne Music ·
    I find this website very fun and visit it almost everyday. The two main things that I enjoy are the message-boards and the directory of local bands, which unfortunately is not updated as often as it should be, or ever it seems. We have a great m...(more)
