Top 40 Radio: I've been listening to it all day today for and change and I realized
....that, at least in the songs I've heard today, there are no longer any guitar solos in popular (top 40) music. I know that Kings of Leon and a few other artists in the Top 40 do use a lot of guitar but that seems to be becoming more the exception than the rule.

its funny it actually broke off into a sub-genre where they would have scratch battles, kind of like the Yngwie of Scratch emerged.

DJ Automator is great, he uses orchestral instruments. (played by him-not sampled) THis is a great track with cool keith aka Dr Octagonacologist
