Sab's "Embryo" and "FX" (imagine a) Mark E Smith talking over them b) Thom Yorke singing over them) vs VH's "Tora! Tora!" (kills Keith Rowe) and "Sunday Afternoon in the Park" (kills The Organisation)

Re EVH's better-known instros - "Eruption" - the tone saves it, but what a tone! "Spanish Fly" smaller-scale victory by making the nylon-string acoustic sound like a real instrument for once, and as for "Cathedral", well it sounds way better in music shops than "Stairway"

I see, you all like the Dio/Hagar eras better. "E5150" is OK. VH tho - "Baluchitherium". David Schwimmer is now titling VH songs, enuf said. Though even the nerdy paleontologist would come up with better titles than "Neworld" and "Primary"(???), though that thing on 'Balance' with the 'prepared piano' is a bit '20th century prepared-piano music'-like

Do I lose all cred if "Eruption" is the only track on this page with which I'm familiar? Come to think of it, I think I've heard "Spanish Fly" too. I only own Paranoid and Van Halen.

Is the intro to "Jump" a seperate track? Cause if so then Sabbath.
