by SHRED you mean guitar virtuosos rippin it up?
I find I like them when they ahve to work through the constraints of a song's structure. Steve Vai had some amazing guitar work in david Lee Roth's band but his solo shit is terrible. Satriani or Malgmsteen I have never enjoyed. It's like listening to someone practice Etudes all day.
Eddie Van Halen pre-1985 was a monster. The things he could do on a guitar were just amazing, having grown up classically trained and in a musical family. he did shiot that everyone else copied.
The guitar solos on Rust In Peace, Peace Sells, and So far So Good... by Mustaione and his other guitarist shred fucking fiercely.
Once I got over my bias towards texas blues musicians around 10th grade I found Stevie Ray Vaughn super amazing. The motherfucker could come up with endless lines and riffs and choruses just like any great jazz player. he was amazing to watch fuck a guitar up.
