Some more Abe
When I grow up I want to groove like Abe (alternatively, play with a drummer who grooves like his son)

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
I don't care for the Sci Fi concept that much, but there's some great rock 'n roll noise and some fine tunes. Mick Ronson on guitar and he makes every note tell. Not just in his solos but also the rhythm parts and the fills he adds. He's so RIGHT for this record.

Micro tonal Japanese glitch pop, just because \?/
You can download the album here if anyone would like to give it a try:

It's free, because I'm pretty sure that the people who make this kind of stuff realise there's no money to be made in it, though it's still pretty damn rad.

The Beatles - Revolver
Still pretty good now, and in real time it substantially upped the Beatles game and thus raised the bar generally for rock music.
If anybody needed reminding about the Beatle's ensemble singing then they should head straight for this album. George gets three composing credits, and they're there on merit as he steps out from the shadow of Lennon and McCartney.
But most of all it's Paul's album (the next one would be John's) and he's in superb form with "Eleanor Rigby", "For No One", the Motown/Soul homage "Got To Get You Into My Life" and "Good Day Sunshine" with its intro that shows off his (then) unerring musical instincts and his knack for combining surprise (the apparently shifting time signature in the intro) with great melody.
PS: The best George guitar solo turns out to be by Paul, and on a George song too. Cheeky so-and-so.

Jerry Douglas, VM Bhatt and Edgar Meyer - Bourbon and Rosewater.
Bhatt teams up with Nashville studio great Douglas and genre-hopping bass player Meyer. I suppose it's another example of how the musical distance between East and West is not that great, yet it doesn't sound a whole lot like Bhatt's grammy winning collaboration with Ry Cooder A Meeting By The River.
Great players often have the vision, the skills and the empathy to be able to perform outside of what mere mortals ? might think is their comfort zone, and so it is here
Here's the title track

Ha! I suddenly got a whole pile of new music to listen to.
This morning: Bela Fleck - The Bluegrass Sessions- Tales from the Acoustic Planet, Vol. 2
The band here is the cream of the contemporary bluegrass crop, including Stuart Duncan, Tony Rice and - in jaw-dropping form - Jerry Douglas. Fleck, as you may imagine, is not too shabby.

A Couple Pierre Bensusan Albums - Solilaï and Spices.

Dave Alvin - Eleven Eleven
I'm on a roll this morning!
I don't know why Alvin isn't included in more lists of guitar heroes. He's darn good at that stinging Texas bar blues, and he shows here that he's got more than that going on as his playing stays identifiable but goes beyond his rockabilly/blues roots.
Greg Leisz pops up on several tracks, and that's no bad thing.
Malkav
Plini!
It's this guy from Australia who's an absolutely wonderful guitar player, very guthrie-esque in many ways, beautifully composed music:

I don't know his oeuvre well. I remember he was once in a band called the Blasters and also, IIRC, in band that had the name X. I think Bokvet knows a bit more about him. The two records of his I have turn out to be his most recent two.

The Cure - Disintegration (album). Forget the gloomy lyrics, there's something I like about the way they layer simple guitar lines into the mix for effect.
Some Smiths as well. Enjoy Johnny Marr's work.
