Best Guitar Interplay

Quine and Julian on Blank Generation LP

Good call; the Smashchords record is pretty special, kind of a WTF for 1982 or whateveritis. 

Some Smashchords trivia. They played cheap copycat guitars a Mateo (Gibson copy) and a Ventura (Gretsch copy). Amps used were the Fender Princeton Reverb (reverb obvs) and a Peavey Backstage 30 (distorted).

Are you a Smashchord?

I was overjoyed when I realized their mailing address was just across I-5 from my old place in Licton Springs.

There's a really impressive band from British Columbia called Blessed who employ three guitars in a really seamless way. Funny that Polvo was brought up earlier, as this band really reminds me of them. https://blessedband.bandcamp.com/

I feel like the Kinks are the first band that comes to mind when I think about bands that use two guitars effectively.

The Milkshakes do a good job too.  Their whole strategy seems to be one guitar playing the same riff exact riff over whatever chord changes the rhythm guitarist plays.  It works really well.

A band I see live a lot that does a good job is Negative Scanner.  For the most part both guitarists are playing rhythm guitar, but their two parts are always very distinct and interesting.

Nope. Just been emailing one of the members for a couple of years now. Gave me a bunch of reviews and press clippings you can view here https://imgur.com/a/rkYPJ

Lynyrd Skynyrd...?

[Charlie M]

Well XTC and crucially the Soft Boys both need a name check here.

The Rew / Hitchcock interplay on many of their tracks is wondrous.

[suitor]

Punks answering questions. Nope.

Hanneman/King

[M-Rad]

Surprised no one mentioned Judas Priest yet

Hanneman/King

When you (Hanneman) are playing xbox and you give a gamecube controller to your little brother (King) so he thinks he's playing with you

Izzy/Slash on "Appetite"

70's Aerosmith.

I guess this is more straight forward, but, whatever...

[Ass Invader]

Blue Oyster Cult deserve a mention - picked up Secret Treaties recently, and there's lots of good, mostly unconventional guitar stuff going on.  Random observation: the riff from "ME 262" is very similar (if not identical, but slower) to the riff from Urge Overkill's "Bottle of Fur".
