My friends tell me I am obsessed by guitar music, to be honest I am, it's my favroutie instrument, but not the only one I ever listen to/play. I could call myself a bit anal for my record collection as most of the music I choose to keep is by bands with guitarists I consider to be good. It's not just the solo's im interested in, I have many favourite songs where the solo is either not prominant or non existant. I listen to a lot of differnt music, I tune in to all sorts of stations and if I like what I hear I will often visit the record shops.

To sum me up: it doesn't have to have a guitarist in it to be great music, but about 8 times out of 10 a record I buy features the guitar in some way.
