…of the 100 greatest guitar tracks, as voted by the magazine’s editors.
Only got the top 10 and some others, not the full 100 and don’t know what the criteria were but Van Halen’s Eruption is probably not pretentious enough for the top 10.

DVForge have come up with a nifty little gadget to let you play your guitar along with your iPod.
To build a small guitar amplifier module that plugs into the top of any Apple iPod music player, that lets a guitar or bass player practice along with songs on the iPod, through the iPod’s own earbuds. - Design goal
See the link above for more details.
And at $30 it sounds the trick, though you can’t slow the tracks down to help you along, who knows maybe an idea for the future.
Just when you thought Sven had gotten over his soft spot for one of the worst player to win an England cap (he’s got nearly 50 you know and a whole 5 goals) he’s gone and brought him back into the fold.
No doubt he’ll score against the might of Northern Ireland or Azerbaijan and justify Sven’s faith.
Full Sqaud :
Goalkeepers: David James (Manchester City), Paul Robinson (Tottenham Hotspur), Robert Green (Norwich City).
Defenders: John Terry (Chelsea), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Ledley King (Tottenham Hotspur), Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Ashley Cole (Arsenal), Gary Neville (Manchester United), Wes Brown (Manchester United), Phil Neville (Manchester United).
Midfielders: Stewart Downing (Middlesbrough), Owen Hargreaves (Bayern Munich, Germany), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Kieron Dyer (Newcastle United), Jermaine Jenas (Newcastle United), David Beckham (Real Madrid, Spain).
Forwards: Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Andy Johnson (Crystal Palace) Michael Owen (Real Madrid, Spain), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham Hotspur), Emile Heskey (Birmingham City).
As predicted Thimothee Atouba has been charged and will more than likely be banned. To be honest this is good news, his continued role there is costing us.
Maybe Martin Jol will put a real fullback in the left side and we won’t leak so many goals from that area.
