I'm always amazed at the cast of characters in that video. Jackson Browne, J.D Souther (wrote a lot of songs for the Eagles in addition to doing solo work and having a number of groups of his own {The Souther, Hillman, Furay Band}), Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and legendary guitarist James Burton (lead guitarist for Ricky Nelson and Elvis Presley).

I have the HD-DVD of Orbison's "Black and White Night". The sound quality is excellent, and I highly recommend any Orbison fans to pick up that version (for real cheap!), or the Blu-Ray version.

Oh, even cuter Regina video where she self-censors her song, "Bobbing For Apples". The overuse of the whammy bar in the later part of the song always cracks me up.

Some of my fav. opening Riffs (you know these songs just after the 1st of 2nd note.

AC/DC - You shook me all night long

Rush - Limlight

Asia - heat of the moment

Def Leppard - Photograph

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

Guns N Roses - Sweet child of mine

Heart - Beracuda

Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch fever

Truimph - What's another day of Rock n Roll

And oh, so many more.

A similar thread and maybe more challenging would be the most reconizable / fav. bass lines.

For example: Queen - Another one bites the dust.

Beat me to it on Tom Morello...was going to single out Bulls on Parade.

And I know this is sacrilege to say in these parts for some people, but Regina Specktor? I don't find her attractive at all...she seems a bit funny looking to me. Sorry to those that adore her. *ducks*

I'll point in a direction most people wouldn't expect, The Carpenters - Goodbye to Love. A song mostly played on easy listening AM stations yet the last minute of the song has a very cool, at least to my ears, guitar solo.

So cool in fact that most stations in the day would quickly fade the song out as soon as the solo started.

Never really a fan of the group this song does however showcase Karen's stunning voice. The ending of the song was a real shock to me when I first heard it, I remember thinking "The Carpenters??????"

judge for yourself:
