Hi, You guys have great taste! As a long time guitar player I vote for all of the above and: Chuck Berry,Freddie-Albert and BB King, Link Wray, Dick Dale(Surfs Up), Hound Dog Tayloy(he had 6 fingers), George Harrison, Keith Richards, Pete Townsend, Angus Young, Thin Lizzy guys, JOe Perry, Dave Navarro, Johnny Ramone(loud,fast, Ramones!), Joe Strummer, Ted Nugent, Brian Setzer, Alex Lifeson(the Rush guy), John Fogerty...sorry for the long list, Buick's and music go together!!
Angus AND Malcom Young. I love Angus, but people always seem to overlook Malcom because he's rythym. He can do a hell of a lot with just three chords. And how about Johhny Thunders ?
Surprised nobody's mentioned Tony Iommi yet. And I haven't seen Brian May yet either, so I'll throw those two guys into the mix. And Carl, as we will spending some quality time driving together to Salem, I hope our music tastes overlap!
I'm not saying these are my favorites. I like alot of rock music. These can be just as good as others mentioned.
