Not for me...

Bert Weedon inspired them all.

Rory Gallagher

Nice one, I saw Rory live in early 80s, and he
was brilliant, a very under rated musician.

Bill nelson is a shocking omission

no mention of cozy powell either dear me YHTL you can do better than this!!!

Ritchie  Blackmore was'nt bad

Tony Iommi

Cozi Powell was a drummer, iirc.

10 is a short list, I used to do 20 for Qatar golf.

Got to miss a few gooduns

Les Paul always made top 20

Ritchie Blackmore
GLen Campbell
Joey Santiago
KK Downing / Glenn Tipton
Dave Lister
J Mascis
Alex Lifeson
Jimi Hendrix
Dave Gilmour
Neil Young

apols over cozy  dont know what i was thinliking

so whats your view on the yorkshire wonder aka mr bill nelson

I've heard much about him but never really
listened to much of his stuff.

Sort of missed him by accident.

Guess that's a reason he ain't on my list.

have a listen ... he is the best guitarist, lyricist , muscian ,artist ...not the best singer though

be pob deluxe all albums brilliant

Be bop delux, indeed, deffo on the listen list
I just never got round to it.

Think he did a lot of production too for
other bands, singers.

Frank Zappa
Nils Lofgren
Jeff Beck
Buddy Guy
Johnny Winter
Ry Cooder
Toy Caldwell

Bill Nelson was very good. I remember he had a song where he made his guitar sound like a seagull or something! Or did i just imagine it?

Big audio dynamite another band on my
to listen to list, likely I just connect them
as they have 3 word names...mick Jones from the clash.

no you didnt des it was called sister seagull. brilliant song you can listen to it on u tube . from memorty it was off the sunburst finish album.

if you want to listen to one of the best ever opening guitar riffs then listen to maid in heaven its amazing..

john peel recognised his talent and played him and te band many times on his radio station  .they also played a few times on the old grey whistle test and were amazing.

prob the most underatted muscian/ gutarist ever. he went to the usa in his prime but never made it and never really recovered from that

still knocking around but bit of a recluse now

John Sykes was no slouch either

whitesnake that is

Brian Robson Rankin aka Hank Marvin!

Mutaz Essa Barshim the only Qatarist I know

Keith Levene, a founding member of The Clash and later guitarist for Public Image Ltd, has died aged 65, his close friend has said.

Author Adam Hammond said Levene, who died on Friday, was one of the most influential guitarists of all time.

Levene founded The Clash with Mick Jones in the 1970s but left before they became successful.

He then joined Public Image Ltd (PiL), the post-punk band set up by John Lydon after he left the Sex Pistols.

Sad news.

Any more?

Johnny Marr.....

Prince.

glad to see Jonny Marr get a mention on these threads

what was that band jonny marr
went into...w new order fellow
sposed to be similar to that tom
petty n his ceeleb pals...
but never in the same division,(imo)...

electronic.


great band

he also joined Modest Mouse for an album.


Had one of those careers that I'd have loved. Similar to Manzanera. Huge part of massive band, go out at the top and then just go around making interesting music with interesting people, never tying yourself down to a particular thing or idea. Must be briliiant.

yeah, electronic
no same class as petty n his
heartbakers....benard sumner, new
order geeek set it all up if i remeber
from autobiography one of em wrote...
Mad chester.....
gan t the hacienda ....n all that !!!
