Randy Rhoads
Neal Schon (pre 2001)

Not who I think the general public would say, but those that I enjoy listening to the most.

PS Nuno and Perry BETTER be making music together...with Perry on vocals.

1-neal schon- why im here

Let Me Go Rcok n Roll..(alive version) best bunch of blues licks ever put in a rock n roll anthem tune... the cat that plays for Lenny Kravitz plays all these cool licks.. angus young?.. The Jack= brillitant guitar, may not be technical.. but perfect..he is a very technical player...

3. Mark Knopfler (I never tire of listening to his work on "Sultans of Swing".

I don't know if they would all make it on Rolling Stone's list, but these are my five favorites. I can only do this type of thing as a music fan, but I love seeing a musician's list of favorites and getting the perspective on their choices.

[Playitloudforme]

Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton
Brian May
Jimmy Page
Eddie Van Halen

I have an African gray who has a bigger vocabulary than some people I know. He coughs, sneezes, imitates a cat and drives our golden retriever crazy. He knows a few choice words, so sometimes we have to cover him up in a back bedroom when we have guests. Lots of fun, though. I like 'keets - always had them when I was growing up.

1. Luke (way UNDERRATED)
2. Neal Schon (was better back when he had the "fire" in his belly and SP on vocals)
3. Ritchie Blackmore (listen to Machine Head and tell me he is not freakin' great)
4. Tom Scholz (I used to be a Boston FREAK...loved his tone / melodic playing so much)

There are probably many better players out there but, these 5 certainly were MAJOR influences in my playing / musical advancement.
