9. Three words: Liquid Tension Experiment
It's basically four of the five members of Dream Theater doing heavy metal instrumentals. Pretty cool shit.

11. Wow. I forgot all about that.
I was going to add their two albums. Or at least their second one because it was the better of the two.

16. You left out Zappa? Guitar is awesome! As as well as the "Shut Up" series
that someone else mentioned.

You can't have Steve Vai without Zappa.

And I think Vai's Flexible is much better than Passion and Warfare.
