1	Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this by Rodrigo y Gabriela add to wishlist While Rodrigo y Gabriela's self-titled third album is an utter and complete joy to listen to -- actually, it's more of a riotous celebration -- it's more than difficult to describe exactly what they do. This Mexican guitar duo met while in a heavy metal outfit together and soon found the local scene wanting. Both had roots in flamenco and other ... see all copies from $8.42! new only from $10.14!
2	Crystal Planet (1998) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist Joe Satriani always stood apart from the legions of guitar virtuosos who surfaced in the late '80s, largely because he had a sharper ear than his peers. He didn't limit himself to hard rock or heavy metal, preferring to draw in elements of pop and jazz as well. At his best, he stood head and shoulders above his peers, many of whom were his former ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.22!
3	Ah Via Musicom (1990) more music like this by Eric Johnson add to wishlist After being overlooked on his debut, Tones, guitarist Eric Johnson burst onto the airwaves with the surprising hit "Cliffs of Dover." Armed with excellent chops and a clear tone, Johnson took a tired formula and made it sound fresh again. Despite his talents on the fret board, he plays with great restraint and chose to explore a variety of styles, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.07!
4	Pulp Fiction (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's darkly funny crime classic Pulp Fiction manages to re-create the film's wildly careening sense of style, violence, and humor by concentrating on the surf music that comprises the bulk of the movie's incidental music and adding a few sexy oldies integral to the film's story ("Let's Stay Together," "Son of a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.88!
5	Walk -- Don't Run: The Best of the Ventures (1990) more music like this by The Ventures add to wishlist If one looks hard, there are so many CDs out on the Ventures, covering just about every phase of their history, that it's almost impossible to keep track of which numbers appear in what versions on which disc (and that's not even counting some superb Japanese-issued concert videos), but this is still the single best introduction to their work that ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $7.96!
6	Passion and Warfare (1990) more music like this by Steve Vai add to wishlist Widely acclaimed as his best album, Passion and Warfare finds Steve Vai coming into his own as a composer, as well as bypassing vocals almost entirely. His style isn't quite as derivative of influences Frank Zappa and Joe Satriani as it was six years earlier on Flex-able; while some of Vai's sense of humor is still evident on tracks like the cock ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.83!
7	The Extremist (1992) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist The Extremist lives up to its name, continuing Joe Satriani's tradition of exploring new musical and compositional ground. A vastly different array of musicians assists him in creating the songs displayed on this all-instrumental disc, and as such the songs are different from even the usual envelope-pushing Satriani fare. The chugging "Summer Song ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.83!
8	The Ventures' Christmas Album (1965) more music like this by The Ventures add to wishlist Originally issued on Dolton, this instrumental classic was reissued briefly in 1990 on CD by EMI. The Ventures have a blast with unique covers of secular Christmas songs: each instrumental borrows riffs from popular mid-'60s hits, incorporating them into their twangy guitar yule melodies. "Sleigh Ride" uses The Ventures' own hit, "Walk, Don't Run, ... see all copies from $8.40! new only from $9.22!
9	Rumble! The Best of Link Wray (1993) more music like this by Link Wray add to wishlist Finally, a multi-label Link Wray collection spanning his lengthy career is available. Starting, appropriately enough, with "Rumble," Rumble! The Best of Link Wray illustrates through its 20 tracks (15 on cassette) that Wray was indeed one of the pioneering guitarists of rock & roll, expanding the sonic possibilities of the instrument with a ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $7.35!
10	Let There Be Drums/Drums Are My Beat! (1996) more music like this by Sandy Nelson add to wishlist This two-fer pairs back-to-back Sandy Nelson LPs from the drummer's commercial and creative heyday. Let There Be Drums is more than just an album title. It's a proclamation from above, a call to arms that galvanized an entire generation of aspiring drummers. The infectious title cut proved Sandy Nelson's second and final Top Ten hit, and its ... see all copies from $9.36! new only from $10.71!
11	The Very Best of the Ventures [EMI Australia] (2007) more music like this by The Ventures add to wishlist see all copies from $3.92! new only from $7.99!
12	Merry Axemas: A Guitar Christmas [2005 Reissue] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The variety of holiday music has improved dramatically over the years and every "type" of music seems to have jumped on the bandwagon. Not only are there holiday rock recordings, but now there are holiday rock guitar recordings. While the music here is a mixed bag, it turns out to be a refreshing change from the contrived offerings that other rock ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $3.29!
13	The Mason Williams Phonograph Record (1968) more music like this by Mason Williams add to wishlist Producer Mike Post and composer Mason Williams packed all sorts of experiments into this half-hour listening experience called The Mason Williams Phonograph Record, and though there are some interesting moments from the clever singer, it is the instrumental masterpiece "Classical Gas" that displays the highest level of creativity. The 45 rpm was a ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $8.49!
14	The Definitive Soul Collection (2006) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's add to wishlist see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!
15	Classical Gas (1987) more music like this by Mason Williams & Mannheim Steamroller add to wishlist Guitarist Mason Williams teams up with The Steamroller for an orchestrated, synthesized version of his 1968 instrumental hit, plus more in the same vein. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.51!
16	In the Christmas Spirit (1966) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's add to wishlist Booker T. and the MG's find the groove to come up with funky instrumentals of Yule classics "Jingle Bells," "Silver Bells," and the percolatin' "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Steve Cropper makes his guitar sing on the down 'n' bluesy "Merry Christmas Baby." ~ Dennis MacDonald, All Music Guide see all copies from $25.23! new only from $25.23!
17	The Very Best of Booker T. and the MG's [Stax] (2007) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's add to wishlist It's impossible to imagine Southern soul existing at all without the powerful input of Booker T. & the MG's, one of the grittiest and most precise rhythm sections in the history of pop music. The MGs were the house band for Stax Records and its imprints Volt and Chalice, and played on virtually everything the label released, backing Otis Redding, ... see all copies from $9.14! new only from $9.14!
18	Music 1968-1971 (1992) more music like this by Mason Williams add to wishlist Presented here is a collection of songs performed by a wealthy gathering of supremely talented musicians, led by Mason Williams, a legendary songwriter/composer in his own right. Released under the Warner Bros. label, the album Music 1968-1971 is just that -- pure music with soul, passion, and enough fire to fuel a storm and light the listener's ... see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!
19	All Time Greatest Hits (1995) more music like this by The Ventures add to wishlist see all copies from $5.11! new only from $5.11!
20	Is There Love in Space? (2004) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist Guitar boss Joe Satriani's ninth album reflects the terrain he's traveled more than it points to an unexplored one -- and yes, that does prove to be a good thing. Satriani has explored many directions over eight previous albums, mashing together rock, blues, jazz, and pure technical proficiency in a dizzying blend that bears his unique signature. ... see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
21	Joe Satriani (1995) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist A guitar virtuoso and genius of instrumental composition, Joe Satriani explores deeper waters with a haunting yet richly entailed work of stripped-down blues-rock and improvisational jazz. This record, self-titled as Joe Satriani, puts the guitar wizard into a streaming new light of musical impression, as his efforts point toward a sincere ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.75!
22	Time Machine (1993) more music like this by Joe Satriani add to wishlist Time Machine is an excellent double-CD set providing something for just about everyone who's interested in Joe Satriani's music. Disc one reprints four tracks from the 1984 Joe Satriani EP, while also showcasing nine new studio tracks and a loose jam session, and disc two is a collection of 14 of Satriani's best live performances. Included among ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.72!
23	Into the Mystic: An Instrumental Tribute to Van Morrison (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
24	No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In) (1966) more music like this by The T-Bones add to wishlist With cover photography from Miles Laboratories, the Alka-Seltzer theme song that went Top Five in America in December of 1965 is the jewel on this 12-song instrumental recording from Ventures producer Joe Saraceno and Phil Spector arranger Perry Botkin Jr. They had worked together on Gene McDaniels' "A Hundred Pounds of Clay" in the same capacity ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $10.44!
25	Paris, Texas (1989) more music like this by Ry Cooder add to wishlist Suggestive of both the imagery of Win Wenders' movie Paris, Texas and the desert itself, Ry Cooder's score is a peaceful, poetic journey into the soul of an acoustic guitar. "Paris, Texas," "Brothers," and "Nothing Out There" open the album as meditative blends of guitar twang and scratching ambient effects. The songs move at a pretty, slow place, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.37!
