peter_gabriel,

You've done nothing requiring an apology.

The vocalist does not sing like a guitar. Playing 'air guitar' simply means that you pretend to play the electric guitar. Perhaps the photograph on the following Web pages will help you understand:

Er, haven't heard enough Rush yet...and by that, I mean haven't heard any. BUT I've got Moving Pictures lined up for a listen later on.
 
Also, I'm glad to see that two forms of Aqualung have recieved votes.

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

Wow. Moonlight's beating out even Other. Huh. And no one voted for poor Aqualung Live.

As for myself, were I to vote, might be No Quarter, might stronger still be 21st Century Man...but I'd have to say Minstrel.

Spanking the imaginary plank to any of the following is most satisfying!

As I play bassguitar I rarely play airguitar anymore. I used to do it a lot when I was younger though (I even backed it up with sound, I was called "the human guitar" at kindergarten LOL). I don't remeber any particular favourite though.

That's no excuse! Just today, I air-bassed my way through Minstrel in the Gallery...I love Jeffrey.

21st Century Schizoid Man for, especially the huge guitar chord that leads back into the main melody.
 
What about pretending to play other instruments?  Air drumming is the obvious other instrument, but does anyone ever pretend to play piano?  I sometimes pretend to play keyboards on a desk or table in songs such as Hoedown by ELP and Rick Wakeman's solo in Siberian Khatru.

I always enjoyed Ritual from Yes's TALES album for this purpose.  You can switch from instrument to instrument because there's SO MUCH going on.  At the psychedelic part with the chinking wineglasses, I always pretend to hit them.
 
But my vote was for 21st Cen...Come on people.
