I wouldn’t trade them this morning for my sweet Ocean Cloud”. In no particular order:
Trevor Rabin, Yes (demo): “Love Conquers All”
- the intro is amazing, the timing perfect, goosebumps every time
Edward Van Halen, Van Halen: “Eruption”
- show-off, sure, but with a positive vibe
Steve Vai, “For the Love of God”
- when he forgets about the microintervals & stuff, and plays …
Steve Rothery, Marillion: “Easter”

Yngwie Malmsteen, “Icaros Dream Suite”
- so what if he only wrote one song; the song is so (over)confident in its musicality and performance that nothing more is needed
Terje Rypdal, “The Return of Per Ulv”
- beautiful and controlled beyond belief
