  Songs with so many notes it would make the likes of Burl Ives head spin.

It depends on what notes are being played... Alvin Lee played very fast but always tastefully, in a blues-rock vein. That's the kind of music I grew up with back in the late 60s early 70s. Most of the bands I loved and went to see featured virtuoso guitarists, that was what rock music was all about at the time. Unfortunately, it later devolved into big hair metal bands which I found embarrassing, and now speed metal which is impossible for me to listen to because it doesn't even resemble music  .

Electrocution 250, from the album, "Cartoon Music From Hell".

Terrifying chops on this by all 3 members. And a sense of humor.

Ridiculous

Let me interject, that I am a fan of music that has a very high level of musicianship, which often appears as very fast playing.

But, to be clear, I am not into fast playing, and high levels of musicianship for its own sake. But because I am of the opinion, that musicians with high levels of musicianship and chops. by virtue of their deep and broad musical skills have a greater potential of conveying emotional content.

In other words, the more "tools" they have in their toolbox, the more they have to pull from to vary emotional content.

Not think Alvin Lee, Dream Theather and Yngwie Malmsteen had success in made good songs. There have never been so many virtuoso musicians as today, what is lacking are good composers, especially in Rock.
