Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youI didn't like it.
Am I allowed to not like it?
But yeah,apart from that, he is a good guitarist.
Other songs that feature memorable guitar playing, probably 50/50 song and guitar are:
'Parisienne Walkways' by Gary Moore & Phil Lynott
'Bird of Paradise' by Snowy White
'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straits
'Shine on you crazy Diamond' by Pink Floyd
There are many others of course, your selection would most probably, be very different to mine. Those songs have a story to tell and the original recordings show a good balance between voice and guitar. I heard Gary Moore absolutely bollix up Parisienne Walkways by completely overplaying the guitar parts at a show in Dublin. Incidentally this overplaying was enthusiastically welcomed and cheered by the mainly young male members of the mosh pit in front of the stage. To me, Gary threw away all the charm and simplicity of the original recording by excessive use of his distorted guitar. Sultans of Swing is slightly overplayed on the live album Alchemy but I accept that there is some potential in extending the outro. There is a point where the original song gets lost due to excessive guitar soloing and it is up to the player to determine where this point is and not to overstep the mark. Not everyone will agree or accept this criticism but there you have it.
Simply put, my point is that some songs do not benefit from the 100% guitar playing thing, even if the skill of the player is beyond words. Sultans of Swing is one of those songs.

I didn't like it, but I also did like it a lot.
or
I didn't like it, I am however totally set back by his amazing technical skills and his succulent string fingering.
Or even,
I didn't like it, but I do like the way he wears his hair and his casual yet smart attire really allows his laid back personality to breath, thus I can safely assume he's not as slow as he walks easy.
