I just want some people to suggest some of their favorites (I'd really like to see crap like Slipknot and My Chemical Romance excluded from this list) when it comes to a song that relies heavily on the melody of the guitar.
Some that come to mind for me include: Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam Jane Says - Jane's Addiction Fool in the Rain - Led Zeppelin Sweet Home Alabama - Lynard Skynard Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Bulls on Parade - Rage Against the Machine Paranoid Android - Radiohead Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns n' Roses Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden Walk This Way - Aerosmith Santeria - Sublime All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Add more... I forgot several thousand... |

The Toadies have a lot of music with a strong guitar melody. As for newer stuff, Kings of Leon also have very melodic guitar work on almost all of their songs.

hmmm....I'm gonna go with pretty much everything Megadeth has ever done, since Mustaine and crew always put forth some tight, tight riffs....Picks: "Architecture Of Aggression", "Symphony Of Destruction", and "Dread and the Fugitive Mind"
Can't forget Black Label Society, either. I love their new album, Mafia. Great guitar work, through and through. My picks: "You Must Be Blind" and "Berzerkers" Other bands: I suppose Cradle can be counted on this list. Take "Mannequin" , "Hurt and Virtue" and "English Fire" as my picks for good riffs. There's The 69 Eyes, with their slow, gothic bent "Angel on my Shoulder". |

Basically ANY Children of Bodom song. Their guitarists are AMAZING and utterly unique. Basically all of the songs are based heavily on the guitars. They're awesome.
I'll probably sound dumb when saying this, but "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. "Sweet Child O' Mine" - Guns n' Roses. |

For me, it's like everything Red Hot Chili Peppers, JOHN FRUSCIANTE I LOVE YOU!! ahem..anyway.
All songs by them are great, but here's some to listen to: Dosed Under the bridge Californication CD version or the Live at Slane Castle Purple stain Can't stop And many more, and they sound better live. Ooohhh, Change the World by Eric Clapton is good, too. Or Freedom by Jimi Hendrix, ok I should stop talking now, haha! -FaR |

funny, i was just thinking about this earlier when i was listening to the red hot chili pepers.
anything from: the red hot chili pepers (of course) nirvana jimi hendrix (purple haze) there is a song by the fall out boy (i think, don't take my word for it), i think its' called "where's your boy" (or somthing fairly close to it). its accoustic by the way. your right, their are THOUSANDS...but i'm drawing a bit of a blank here. |
