Agreed but over priced.

Satriani is another.

I forgot one Zakk Wylde!

I love his solo stuff and pride and glory.

SRV, Van Halen, and Joe Satriani.  Love them all, depending on the mood I'm in.

 

Seriously, I can not believe there were not more votes for Eddie, SRV was awesome, Gains and others were banging for sure, but no one had an impact like EVH and his originality , never mind David Lee Roth, Eddie and Alex were in a group of their own.

 

I grew up watching and learning from Steve Gaines, Allen Collins and all of LS, they are and always be my all time favorite group, but there are so many, like Jeff Carlisi , Don Barns, from 38 special, that also innovated, Southern rock is my first love, but EVH was and still is the best originator.

I forgot Mark Knopfler!

Nobody has mentioned Pete Townsend yet.  He belongs in the conversation.

mine are Mark Tremonti and John Petrucci

Criss Oliva

Nice!

Love the Criss Oliva era of Savatage!

Chuck Berry, Duane Eddy, and Duane Allman are all deserving of mention. Robin Trower has always been one of my favorites. They're all way prior to my generation though. :)

Chet Atkins

While maybe not my favorite, I couldn't help but think about this thread today in the truck when One came on. Kirk Hammett has to be up there on my list.

 

Slash was a great guitarist, but I can't stand Axl Rose's whiney voice.

Wild Stallion! 

 

All before my generation but being a guitar player I love Gilmour, Page, Clapton, SRV, and Yngwie Malmsteen.

My generation... does Dave Grohl count?

There are a bunch but my favorite is David Gilmour.

Seen the Foos twice. Best shows I have seen. Dave is awesome.

I'd love to see the Foos. Have you seen him play drums for Tenacious D? The Foo Fighters actually are in a tie with Pearl Jam as my all time favorite band.

You've got to remember that I was born in 99' so most of my generation is still in high school. I've gotten to really like what's his face from Avenged Sevenfold, both of Mastodon' s guitarist, Daron Malakin from SOAD, I think Dimebag was awesome but as you know he's dead. Now Zakk Wylde is great and I love black label, but not my generation. As an overall band godsmack is great although they're nothing special when it comes to guitar, and the same goes for Johnny Cash.
