Funkadelic - "Maggot Brain"


This is generally accepted as one of the greatest solos of all time and isn't R&B,rap, or pop.

What's sad is that you could argue that his best guitar solo wasn't even part of the Slayer catalog.

Possibly the best hip-hop act, song and video of all time.

The guitar intro to Alabama's "The Closer You Get" is very good. Then it turns into another shitty Alabama song.
