First song I heard was Nightfall, still my favorite song by them. It's just so great, and... epic. Yeah, epic.
I have two of their cds, Nightfall in Middle-Earth and Follow the Blind.
God im glad to see so many Blind Guardian fans here! There are a ****ing awesome band. In case you dont know, the lead singer did a side project with the lead guitarist of Iced Earth-called Demons and Wizards. Thats some awesome stuff right there
Iced Earth is awesome too. I have The Glorius Burden. My favorite song on that cd is When the Eagle Cries, really moving stuff there. High Water Mark is right up there in "epic" with Nightfall. A friend of mine saw Iced Earth in concert, said it was the single most greatest thing he ever saw. They had actual cannons on stage that would "fire" during the begining of High Water Mark. I envy him.

As far as guitar playing goes, i have yet to hear anyone play a guitar better than Hendrix. It is hard to explain, he just had this special talent with the guitar that i have never seen reproduced. There are so many examples of this, but it is really noticable in songs like Manic Depression and Purple Haze.
Page was definitely the better songwriter (Look no further than the battle of evermore) and i personally prefer The Who, Cream and Zeppelin over Hendrix, but i have yet to hear anything rival his emotional guitar playing. Shame that he died so early.
As an aside, does anyone else listen to Damien Rice? Bloody brilliant singer/songwriter.

Hendrix is more known for his showmanship, which is why he's so famous and commonly referred to as the best guitarist of all time. I personally believe there were other better guitarists, but not many.
My favorites are Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and John Fogerty. Not to say Hendrix was bad, but these guys just strike me as more aesthetically pleasing.

Hendrix is overrated. There were better guitarists before him, and many more after him too.
Not that I'm trying to flame or anything, but geez, be more imaginative.
Despite my hatred for synthesized music, Coolio and Run DMC are supreme, and sometimes Eminem even churns out good songs (song.)

True, Hendrix isn't the best, but he's certainly the most famous, and you definately can't doubt that he was awesome.
Anyways.

Sparta is way too boring, they're like any other band out there. Mars Volta continued the ATDI-era and made it better!

Why not throw Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton in there as well?
As far as guitar playing goes, i have yet to hear anyone play a guitar better than Hendrix. It is hard to explain, he just had this special talent with the guitar that i have never seen reproduced. There are so many examples of this, but it is really noticable in songs like Manic Depression and Purple Haze.
Page was definitely the better songwriter (Look no further than the battle of evermore) and i personally prefer The Who, Cream and Zeppelin over Hendrix, but i have yet to hear anything rival his emotional guitar playing. Shame that he died so early.
As an aside, does anyone else listen to Damien Rice? Bloody brilliant singer/songwriter.

They pretty much talk over a beat, the difference being they actually played the beat on instruments with skill as opposed to synthing it up. Does that count as instrumental rap?

I like RATM...then again, I like lots of rap. Anyone at all into X-ecutioners? At all? Renegades of Funk ftw, Killing in the Name...damn, all they have is goodies.
The Glorious Burden is their worst album yet. Burnt Offerings, The Dark SAga, Something Wicked This Way Comes, or the best live album ever, Alive in Athens are their best albums...infact, all their albums except Glorious Burden are awesome. Uninspired songwriting, average instrumental work, and while Tim Owens rocks, I miss Matt Barlow.

Are you referring to Hendrix there? He was definitely not a rap artist, to say the least. The best guitarist ever, yes. Rap artist, no. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Dear god, where did I say Hendrix was a rapper?
Hendrix is more known for his showmanship, which is why he's so famous and commonly referred to as the best guitarist of all time. I personally believe there were other better guitarists, but not many.
My favorites are Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and John Fogerty. Not to say Hendrix was bad, but these guys just strike me as more aesthetically pleasing.
EDIT: I enquiring about NolSinkler's dislike of the guitar and fondess for rap.
If you ever happen to come accross a cd, that contains this song buy it. Buy it for gods sake. I promise that you wont regret it.

I don't know, I hardly listen rap closely, but the few times I did I tried to pick up signs of a guitar or something. It's true, there are instruments in some rap (P. Diddy rapping along to Page's guitar in Kashmir), but for the most part I think the music is synthesized?
Could anyone with more knowledge in the subject give their expertise?
