Pretty much any rock/metal guitarist my age and older (30s and up) went through some sort of Rhoads phase. When you look at it, his style was a really cool combination of the Schenker/Roth approach (with a more rigorous classical underpinning) set in well-written songs that were pretty heavy in their day. A lot of what we consider about guitarists and solos reflects back on the songs that this playing is set in.
Another thing that I like to remind people when talking about guys from before at least the mid-80s is that most shreddy guys from today would sound like shit through an old cranked Marshall with no boost.
