WHAT WAS THE greatest guitar solo of the Seventies? How about the best riff? The ultimate guitar album? The decade’s most underappreciated guitarist? Was Happy Days really better than Laverne & Shirley? (Answer: Probably — until the Fonz literally jumped the shark in Season 5, Episode 3; look it up.) Burning questions, all of them — especially the one about Laverne & Shirley. But instead of answering them ourselves, we decided to open things up to a mess of guitar stars, some of whom were already doing their thing 48 years ago, and some who weren’t even born yet. We asked them to answer these 11 questions about the Seventies — and to elaborate wherever they deemed it necessary:
DOUG ALDRICH
GUITARIST OF THE DECADE: Jimmy Page LESSER-KNOWN ALBUM: Billy Cobham, Spectrum UNSUNG HERO: Pat Travers GUITAR ALBUM: Jeff Beck, Blow by Blow SOLO: “Eruption” RIFF: Deep Purple, “Smoke on the Water” TV SHOW: The Rockford Files MOVIE: Jaws DISCO GUILTY PLEASURE: The Bee Gees, Saturday Night Fever SEX PISTOLS OR RAMONES: Ramones ’70S GUITAR: Jeff Beck’s Les Paul would be amazing!
