Disc of the day
Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley
Magnificent late-'50s singles round-up that keeps on giving.
Named in tribute to the visionary guitarist and guitar designer, and awarded in conjunction with the humbuckin’ people at Gibson Guitars, this gong goes to a man or woman who has made a genuinely seismic impact on the ol’ six-stringed thing. Rest assured this year’s winner will have arpeggiated, power-chorded and vibratoed to a level unimagined by his or her peers. Previous winners include Jeff Beck, Peter Green and Brian May.
