np: "Maggot Brain" - Funkadelic
It has recently been brought to my attention that there are still people on this earth that consider themselves music fans but have never heard the song "Maggot Brain" by Funkadelic. And really, that's a crime on par with being a sci-fi fan and never seeing Blade Runner or being a Cubs fan and having never been to Wrigley Field. In an effort to help rid the earth of such people, I'm uploading the song to share with you right now. Because, really, you need to hear it. Why? Because it contains the best guitar solo. EVER. No, it does. You can try to name all the greatest guitar solos you can come up with - "Stairway", "Freebird", "One", "Crazy Train", "Eruption", "Comfortably Numb", "Highway Star", "Pride and Joy" - but none of them even come close to touching the sublime soulfulness that is Eddie Hazel's guitar playing on this ten minute track. Download. Listen. Repeat.

Hear hear. One of the greatest tracks ever recorded. George Clinton told Hazel to "play like your momma just died," and what came out was amazing.
