Jimmy Page might just make my list...I consider SRV to be more R&B than R&R, however.

The others I'm not that familiar with....we must be too old, I guess.

Any others, anyone?

I don’t know about #5, but without doubt #1 has to be Steve Morse.

Nice. All those are very good arguments for Top 5. All of them.

But.......what's your #6 CHOICE ?????? Without a blink, I would have to say Kirk Rundstrom of Split Lip Rayfield.

Here he be with the other boys - check 'em out some time

My two cents worth:

Steve Vai
Ritchie Blackmore
David Gilmour

Many other great choices above...

Did you meet her on a hunting trip or something? Big Grin
What's she like?

I once met the father of Steve Perry, Journey's lead singer...he was nice and very proud of his son. Smile

If the list expands to six, I must include Duane Allman. I would have had him in the top five, had I been thinking.

I have never met any of his relatives, though.

Five is almost impossible--Top 20 would be more appropriate with SO many good ones..Most of the "guitar gods" have been mentioned (I've seen 'em all)--perhaps one name missing that should be toward the top is Neal Schon of Journey/Santana fame..
Cool

First, we would have to agree about the question of "What is Rock and Roll"...after that issue is resolved,I'm with Bob, 5 is too few, even in no particular order, but Jerry Garcia's name would have to appear somewhere.

Anyone who's listened to some of the early Chicago albums would have to agree that Terry Kath was a "monster." Jimi Hendrix once remarked that he WISHED he could play like Kath; pretty strong compliment...
Cool
