I've got many favorites, but I was just minutes ago listening to Steely
Dan's "My Old School," and I'm always struck by how flippin' odd the solos
in that song are. (I believe it's Denny Dias playing them.) They have this
very high, tight, strangulated sound, and they're very choppy, nearly to
the point of atonality in spots. Certainly one of the odder guitar sounds
I've heard in a song that was at least theoretically designed to garner
mainstream airplay.
