Inspired by Linda's Hank Marvin post, I ask you this: which is the greatest guitar instrumental band, The Shadows or The Ventures? I say The Ventures, because they were more prolific and they did "Hawaii Five-O".

Without a doubt, The Ventures. They have had much more international success, more charting singles, more charting albums, and they are still actively recording and performing. Walk Don't Run, Vol. 2 is one of my desert island albums.
