Lollapalooza, hands down.

A guitar solo in every damn song

or

No guitar solo's at all.

No guitar solos at all.

Bruce Springsteen or Billy Joel?

Billy Joel

Kristy Brinkley
or
Elton John

He may be a poof, he may be maudlin in his dotage, but Elton John was the real deal, whereas Kristy Brinkley was just a sheath for Billy Joel's favorite instrument.

Let's get odd:

Kip Addotta - Wet Dream

or

Tom "T-Bone" Stankus - Existential Blues

Guitar:

Distortion tones

or

On the same subject...

Less is more guitarists: David Gilmour, Prince, BB King, etc... who don't show off as much and just hold their notes

Stevie Ray Vaughn or Jimi Hendrix?

SRV, hands down.

John Coltrane or Charlie Parker?

Bird, man.

(Coltrane had his moments of brilliance, but he also had his moments of sounding like a bagpipe being beaten to death with a live adjutant stork, which is to say, like Ornette Coleman.)

Bagpipe or bugle?

Bagpipe. I actually love it. Ever hear of Rufus Harley? They call him the Pied Piper of Jazz... hes a jazz bagpiper. Actually plays really cool stuff. My dad knows him personally, he used to call our house sometimes. That was cool.

2112
or
Hemispheres

^ SHIT! Umm................damn.....2112!

Concerts where you scream, yell, slam, and go crazy to Metal, or Speed Punk

or

Shows usually in coffee houses or small clubs where you just stand there quietly staring at the band in awe while they blow your mind to Prog rock, Jazz, etc.

Guess it would vary depending on mood or taste in music eh? I think I'd like both :D

Asta!!

or

Mid-Late Genesis with Phil Collins fronting

Early Genesis... kind of rough call, but I think Phil Collins turned into kind of a douchebag.

Sting:

Solo career

or

With the Police hands-down. Not only did Stewart Copeland add a whole different element to the music, but Sting himself is a dick.
