Now, one might say: "But, but, but some of those styles on his solo albums are the same styles as exemplified by the other groups he's in, so we gotz repeats..." and I say " and a lesson in Bucketheadism"

I'm not sure what you mean. Did I do it wrong? It seems like a lot, sure, but its one song per band (I cheated once or twice, but out of 40+, not bad), and as far as BH's solo releases, one song per style. Did I misunderstand, or did you? I'd hate to think I wasted 6+ hours. Well I know I can't say it was a waste, even if no one ever looks at it, I feel its the best thing I've contributed to the site so far.

Anyway, I know I said I'd come back and slap spoilers throughout yesterday but I got tied up. So I just finished doing that, and its all finished finally. Hopefully someone gets something out of it... there's a lot of hidden gems no one in these parts seems to know aboot.

Nah, I was just joshing with ya!

I do think though that it should be restricted to if possible one per BAND, which was the idea. The only reason I said different phases was for, say, a band like Sabbath, who had their "black metal" phase, then their more "proggy" phase a la Dio, or Fleetwood Mac --- blues then commercial pop/rock --- or indeed, as I did, when there's a change of singer, as with Marillion.

The idea is to pick just one song that shows someone who has never heard the band/artiste before what they're like, so hitting them with a dozen or more songs does sort of defeat the purpose, not to mention earning you a few enemies with so many videos!

Good selection though.

I must beg to differ, for I feel there is still a misunderstanding.

When you say, about the phases, oh b/c Black Sabbath had one phase and then another and so on, and the same with Fleetwood.

Well, I'm saying that's the way it is with Buckethead, in a way. No, it wasn't in eras. He didn't go from being a shredder, to a jazz fusion guitarist, to a banjo player, to a electronic ambient musician, etc., etc., etc. in order, he has touched on so many genres/subgenres and stylings in his career in random order that it DOES make sense to serve up a song for each. Not everyone likes the same Buckethead material, and most do not know how different his material can be. It would NOT make sense if he only had one song in that style. But each style given, I should/could be able to provide a slew of songs that he does that are in that vein for anyone interested.

Most people think of BH as a shredder guitarist. I would bet that 90% of his own fans don't know that he released an all banjo album. I'll bet the same that they haven't heard him do jazz fusion. Etc. Etc. Etc.

And with a total of 1244 songs across his solo albums and additional groups (for perspective, 244 5-stars, 587 5/4.5 stars), whittling all that down into less than 50 examples was damn good in my opinion.

So besides doing one song per style in his solo discography, I did one song per other band he was in. I guess the problem is that it's overwhelming in itself, even if it is organized alphabetically. Maybe it would be clearer if I add some bolding to some of the titles?

And about making enemies with all those videos, that's why I went back and slapped spoiler tags on each and every one.

@Anticipation, if you see this... I was thinking of you for a minute there when I was picking the track for El Stew. It'd make a siiiickkkk hiphop instrumental. I'm thinking of writing a verse or 2 short ones and uploading it. I highly recommend you grab some of that El Stew.

@Jack Pat, if you see this... I was thinking of you for a minute there when I was listening to Death Cube K. See if that tickles your fancy at all. If so, I got more where that comes from.

@Janszoon, this might be off base, but try the Deli Creeps. Might be TOO weird, but it reminded me of if Patton and Zombie had a mutation.
