I wouldn't classify the Quicksilver Messenger Service as a great guitar band. They had a few good tunes, but really did not crank out the guitar except on the Happy Trails album. They played for dope, and when they ran out of it, they played for more. I did not see your list, but my favorite guitar bands include Wishbone Ash (3 guitars!!), Jeff Beck, Captain Beyond (they were originally part of the second Iron Butterfly incarnation), and New Improved Blue Cheer (whose album I played last night). Others could include Foghat (and the original Savoy Brown Blues Band, which disbanded to form Foghat), Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, Montrose. My favorites, though, are Hendrix and Jeff Beck. Others that don't qualify as rock are Al Dimeola and John Mclaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, which both are under jazz fusion.
Best Guitar Band part11
Hi all, Shurbertmaniac started a good thread "best guitar band". He started with a real Classic and great band from the mid 60's (Yardbirds). Many great artist evolved from this band along with some great Tracks. Many responded with some great bands (thanks) from the late 60's to present. Lets keep it coming with more great "guitar bands" which will help many add to their collection. Thanks to those who mentioned Quick Silver Messenger Service, keep forgetting to add this great band to my collection. Remember the James Gang. Lets keep it going, Merry Christmas.
