Guitar Tournament - First Round - Part V (the last part)

The link to the survey for the final batch of 64 solos vying for the title of "Greatest Guitar Solo Ever" is up now.

Why are there now FIVE groups? Turns out, I'd forgotten one chart -- the Alternative/Modern rock chart. So, there are now 64 more songs, courtesy of that chart. I don't think many of them will advance particularly far; but a few of them may surprise.

Interestingly - today's Modern Rock chart is basically the closest to the 80s guitar rock that inspired this poll. Mainstream Rock (which used to be guitar rock) has transformed. Back then, it used to be Huey Lewis and the News; today, it's Godsmack.

Modern Rock - early days - had a lot of synth, and, truth be told, there's not a lot of all-out guitar solos (in many cases, the guitar work is happening while the singer is singing).

In any event, the addition of these songs means there'll be one more round -- these winners will be merged into the field for "play-in games" - and then we'll resume with a new field of 128 (total) and head towards our Final Four.

These songs also change the "leader board" for bands with the most songs in the list. Here's an updated tally (only those with 3+ songs):

11: Van Halen
8: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty (and Heartbreakers)
6: Beatles, Black Crowes, U2, ZZ Top
5: Rolling Stones
4: Bon Jovi, Collective Soul, Eric Clapton, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd, REM, Shinedown
3: Aerosmith, Bryan Adams, Bush, Def Leppard, Green Day, Huey Lewis and the News, Jane's Addiction, John Mellencamp, Nirvana, Richard Marx, Rush, Stone Temple Pilots

Remember - you're voting on the guitar solo; not the song, itself. You should be listening to the solo, because you may be surprised that some songs you remember had some pretty great guitar solos. You may like one song more, but find the guitar work is better in the other song. Of course, you can listen to the whole song as well, but the poll isn't about the song; just the guitar.

Why would you listen to the whole song?
1. You want to rediscover the song.
2. You want to learn something new about it.
3. It's reminiscent.
4. You have nothing better to do than listen to 320 songs (this is a judgment-free zone).
 
Here is the bracket for this group (the New Order division):
