Glad that someone has mention daft punk! My favourite song by them is "aerodynamic", but there are tracks like "digital love" which have better giutar solos, they're "happy" sounding, but they've gone alittle bit over the top with vocoders (or pitch altering machines, as you call them across the pond) ... I like the cheesy mangaesque vidoes... Reminds me of alot of the cartoons i used to watch as a kid... Personally I'm glad to se the back of the routine solo... I love solos, but as long as they dont become mundane, dont sound similar, and they're not cheesey.... doesnt matter wether it's eighties or rockabilty or whatever... Still, for me, Hendrix really hits the spot... He doesn't really have the predictable key changes, or the gaps or whatever, the song just flows...
