Springsteen didn't make any technical breakthroughs on guitar, but few players are better at coaxing emotion from steel and wood: witness the surf-rock recklessness of the "Born to Run" solo, the junkyard-dog bite of "Adam Raised a Cain" and the melancholy twang of "Tougher Than the Rest." The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time: The Sex Pistols' 'Never Mind the Bollocks… Here's the Sex Pistols'.
Key Tracks: "God Save the Queen," "Pretty Vacant" As Jones told a journalist during his days with the Sex Pistols, "Actually, we're not into music. His legacy was set with indelible riffs on one record – 1977's Never Mind the Bollocks… – that inspired guitarists from Slash to Billie Joe Armstrong. The Sex Pistols, Steve Jones' brutish power chords and flamboyant gutter-glam solos were a perfect mirror for the taunting bile of Johnny Rotten – and a yardstick for every punk-rock noise-maker that followed. Key Tracks: "La Villa Strangiato," "The Spirit of Radio" Alex Lifeson reserves his most daring playing for his solos – just try wrapping your head around the extraterrestrial lunacy of "Freewill."
