Song title: Surfing with the Alien
Artist: Joe Satriani
Year: 1987
Why I like this song:
I have always maintained that my interest in metal stems from the fact that there are some very talented musicians attached to that genre. So when you wish for more people who follow the Frank Zappa dictum of "Shut up and play your guitar", one eventually arrives here.
I cannot recall why I decided to purchase this album was from. Was it the Silver Surfer on the cover? Was it the vague idea of instrumental metal? But who cares: This song is great and shows a true master of the craft.
