Thanks. I live and die on recommendations.
I have this thing where I buy records music un-heard so that it's my first time hearing a song when I play an album for the first time (therefore, no previewing on Youtube!).
This list helps a lot. From what I recognize from the above, this might be pretty spot on. I now remember the Lynch solo from "In My Dreams" from when I was a little kid and thinking it was great and trying to teach myself it on guitar.
I remember reading about Sykes. Is there any good stuff from when he was with Thin Lizzy? (another situation where I know what Thin Lizzy is because I keep seeing the albums in stores but I am refraining from actually listening to anything from them unless I actually buy the album!).
On the Classic vs. Modern thing, I just feel that classic is a little more melodic and new metal is a little too much emphasis on drums and djent.
I saw this yesterday. This guy is pretty entertaining.
