1	Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this by Rodrigo y Gabriela 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 $11.96! new only from $14.33!
2	Surfing with the Alien (1987) more music like this by Joe Satriani Not content to sit on his laurels, Joe Satriani released the groundbreaking instrumental album Surfing with the Alien in 1987, leaving guitarists and musicians everywhere stunned and amazed by the playing and musicianship displayed. Satriani defined his sound more sharply to further develop his distinct musical tone, and his playing continued to ... see all copies from $2.48! new only from $11.06!
3	Pulp Fiction (1994) more music like this by Original Soundtrack 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 $13.34!
4	Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar [3 Disc] (1981) more music like this by Frank Zappa While most of the discussions of Frank Zappa have to do with his satirical and off-color lyrics, the fact remains that he was one of the finest and most underappreciated guitarists around. This collection places the spotlight squarely on Zappa's mastery of the guitar. Recorded for the most part in 1979 and 1980 (with a few tracks dating as far ... see all copies from $19.57! new only from $26.63!
5	The Extremist (1992) more music like this by Joe Satriani 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 $11.06!
6	Paris, Texas (1989) more music like this by Ry Cooder 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 $6.00! new only from $9.55!
7	Spiderland (1991) more music like this by Slint More known for its frequent name-checks than its actual music, Spiderland remains one of the most essential and chilling releases in the mumbling post-rock arena. Even casual listeners will be able to witness an experimental power-base that the American underground has come to treasure. Indeed, the lumbering quiet-loud motif has been lifted by ... see all copies from $12.90! new only from $12.90!
8	Classical Gas (1987) more music like this by Mason Williams w/ Mannheim Steamroller 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 $14.37!
9	Greatest Hits [GNP] (1975) more music like this by Dick Dale & the Del-Tones GNP's Greatest Hits is a fairly good collection of all the prime Dick Dale material -- "King of the Surf Guitar," "Let's Go Trippin'," "Miserlou," "Death of a Gremmie" -- but it's been supplanted by Rhino's superior, definitive single-disc King of the Surf Guitar. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
10	The Ventures Play Telstar/Ventures in Space (1992) more music like this by The Ventures see all copies from $7.87! new only from $11.13!
11	Flying in a Blue Dream (1989) more music like this by Joe Satriani An hour-long disc filled with musical explorations and compositions that defy belief, Flying in a Blue Dream is unquestionably Joe Satriani at his absolute best. Breaking his all-instrumental tradition for the first time, he croons on six of the disc's 18 tracks, including the weird "Strange"; and the bluesy, hard-rocking "Big Bad Moon"; and the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
12 view cover	Strike Like Lightning (1985) more music like this by Lonnie Mack Co-produced by Stevie Ray Vaughn, this was Lonnie's ticket back to the show after a few years on the sidelines. To say it was an inspired date would be putting it mildly. With his batteries recharged, Mack was in peak form, playing and singing better than ever. A major highlight is an inspired duet between Stevie and Lonnie on "Wham (Double Whammy ... see all copies from $6.20! new only from $16.03!
13 view cover	Venus Isle (1996) more music like this by Eric Johnson The brilliant musician, composer, and guitar virtuoso Eric Johnson comes shining through with a record breathing with aura of romance, sweeping melodicisms, and breathtaking mystical quality. Venus Isle, released by Capitol records gave a genuine and much deserved positive boost to the popularity and image of Johnson. This is certainly is most ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $15.11!
14 view cover	Ah Via Musicom (1990) more music like this by Eric Johnson 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 $7.99! new only from $15.11!
15 view cover	The Mix-Up (2007) more music like this by Beastie Boys Hailed in some quarters as a back-to-basics masterstroke, derided in others as flaccid and stale, it can be universally agreed that To the 5 Boroughs performed the crucial task of lowering expectations for the Beastie Boys. Until then, it was expected that each of their new albums would be a radical step forward -- or at least a virtuoso ... see all copies from $14.46! new only from $14.46!
16 view cover	The Best of Bar-Kays (1993) more music like this by The Bar-Kays When the Bar-Kays joined Mercury Records in 1976, they shifted musical styles slightly, veering away from the goofy yet funky soul instrumentals that defined their Stax singles and concentrating on loose, wild funk driven by fat basslines and whining synthesizers. Mercury's The Best of Bar-Kays captures the majority of the highlights from their ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.34!
17 view cover	Bloom (2005) more music like this by Eric Johnson It's no secret that the time gap between albums by guitarist Eric Johnson is on par with such notorious 'hibernators' as Boston. And the arrival of his fourth all-new studio release, Bloom, was no different, as it appeared nearly nine years after the release of 1996's Venus Isle. Whereas most guitar heroes of the late '80s and early '90s were all ... see all copies from $14.33! new only from $14.33!
18 view cover	Time Is Tight [1998] (1998) more music like this by Booker T. & the MG's A three-CD, 65-song box set that includes all their hits from 1962 through 1971, in addition to numerous LP tracks and failed singles; the third disc is devoted entirely to previously unreleased live material (most from 1992-94) and rarities. Greatest-hits compilations will serve the needs of all but intense Booker T. and Stax fans. However, if ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $36.13!
19 view cover	Classics (2006) more music like this by Ratatat There's something strangely melancholic about Ratatat's sophomore record, Classics. Something that rests behind the dancey drum machine beats and the quirky synths, or even the alternating guitars. Outwardly it's a fun album, triumphant and full of majestic refrains and riffs -- you could play it for your indie rock friends if you wanted to get ... see all copies from $10.51! new only from $13.59!
20 view cover	Is There Love in Space? (2004) more music like this by Joe Satriani 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 $11.06! new only from $11.06!
21 view cover	Billboard Top Pop Hits: 1963 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Billboard Top Pop Hits: 1963 is one of the strongest volumes in the Billboard Top Pop Hits series, gathering sentimental ballads like the Cascades' "Rhythm of the Rain" and Bobby Vinton's classic "Blue Velvet"; surf instrumentals like the Surfaris' "Wipe Out" and the Chantays' "Pipeline"; and folk-pop hits like the Rooftop Singers' "Walk Right In" ... see all copies from $4.13! new only from $6.42!
22 view cover	Twang Thang: Anthology (1993) more music like this by Duane Eddy Duane Eddy was America's first bona fide rock & roll guitar hero, playing minimalistic riffs that any kid with a pawnshop guitar could aspire to with a little determination and elbow grease. Twang Thang: Anthology is a two-CD anthology that offers the finest retrospective of his career available, with all facets of his music being well documented, ... see all copies from $28.92! new only from $28.92!
23 view cover	The Very Best of Booker T. and the MG's [Stax] (2007) more music like this by Booker T. & The MG's 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 $7.67! new only from $10.29!
24 view cover	Electric Tears (2002) more music like this by Buckethead Superfreak guitarist Buckethead is known at least as much for his bizarre sartorial choices (his stage name comes from his penchant for wearing both a mask and a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket on his head whenever appearing in public) as for his guitar playing, although taken as a whole, his music is actually quite a bit stranger and more original ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $13.33!
25 view cover	Sometime Tuesday Morning (1999) more music like this by Johnny A. Johnny A. is a Boston guitarist who has spent time playing with keyboardist Bobby Whitlock (Derek & the Dominos), percussionist Mingo Lewis (Santana), and ex-J. Geils frontman Peter Wolf. Sometime Tuesday Morning is A.'s extremely tasteful and classy debut solo CD. It is an all-instrumental project with A's guitar serving as the voice. Melodic and ... see all copies from $15.75! new only from $15.75!
