10 Best Two Guitar Bands

10. The Eagles

Out of all the bands to populate such a list, the Eagles stretch the boundaries of what constitutes a harder sounding rock group. That's not to say they didn't have their more rocking moments, though. Oftentimes, the songs on which the Eagles kicked the most ass was when they were utilizing their twin guitar attack.

Starting out as a more laid-back rock outfit, songwriter Glenn Frey held down a great groove while Bernie Leadon played riffs inspired by bluegrass and country music. It wasn't until Don Felder entered the fold that the band was taken to new heights. Given the nickname "Fingers," Felder's touch on the solos to "One of These Nights" and "Already Gone" were virtuosic showstoppers while also staying infectiously catchy.

After Leadon's departure, the band's adoption of Joe Walsh yielded the album Hotel California, with a title track that created one of the greatest trade-off solos in rock's canon. The riffs on songs like "Life in the Fast Lane" brought the edge to the band's best singles while the guitar harmonies made every other classic rock act sound quaint by comparison. As they incorporated rock, blues, country, and R&B, the Eagles's potential seemed boundless with Felder and Walsh leading the charge.
