Favorite Solos

Well, soloing isn't required of every player. Rhythm is more than enough to showcase ones skills.

There was this one Indie band I heard though, Overvil River, the song was called For Real. What I recall most is how ridiculously bad the solo was.

Well, the solos don't make the song SUCK as such, but when I'm enjoying a good piece of music which is interrupted by some flash guitar solo, it is annoying. Nah actually, I don't mind solos as long as they don't go on forever, with some exceptions.

It fits the song, plus the solo is kind of dirty which fits their sound, I don't see anything wrong with it though Okkervil River soloing is kind of eh for the most part because its unnecessary.

Definitely. Kurt Cobain was put on top guitarists for Rolling Stones top 100, because hes one of the best rhythm guitarists.
