5 mike mangini
6 aynsley dunbar
7 cozy powell
8 carmine appice
9 neil peart
10 john bonham
Beck is in a weague of his own. I have a cover of Beck and Seal doing Manic Depression and it just doesnt have the fire in the guitar playing that Hendrix had. They did an interesting version, none the less. Also a live performance with Beck and Vaughan reveil Vaughan a richer player. Still the Beck thing is unique.

I think he was trying to imply a sarcastic whiny tone to his post. As in "awww, did I whurt duh widdul baby's feeewings?"
But then again, it's razor; he doesn't own a dictionary. And honestly I don't know why you would put a "w" at the beginning of "hurt" to get that sound.
And mdmatt4ever, you left David Gilmour off your list.
EDIT: @Ozz; and he just did it again with the word "league."

Okay. Gilmour's my favorite of all time. I prefer taste over speed. No one can say as much as Gilmour in so few notes.
I prefer expression myself but many faster players have said plenty as well. There is alot of great improv done over the years. I wouldnt say "No one" can as Gilmour because you have Santana, Gary Moore as well as many quick players that have their share of heart bleeding solos.

Simply put, David Gilmour, is one of the most superb guitarists(musicians) of our time. I always thought he was the most talented band member of Floyd. His guitar playing and tone are spectacular. Now, I'm not stating a comparison, when I say, Andrew Latimer(Camel) is another guitarist, often overlooked, that plays beautifully. Has anyone heard the 2cd and 2dvd package called "Live in Gdansk" by Mr.Gilmour?

Of definitely, Gary Moore is a very soulful player as well. Santana is good, but not one of my favorites. In essence, I just think that Gilmour is the epitome of the slow, melodic emotional player. Others do it too, but Gilmour always does it and nails it every time.
Most definitely, I bought On An Island the day it came out. Gilmour's older solo records are good too. He's really a top-notch musician, and a superb songwriter.
The Gilmour vs. Waters debate is tough for me because I love both of them equally. They each do their own thing so well. Together they created possibly the greatest sound in rock history (in my opinion, of course; Floyd's my favorite band
).

Floyd have surpassed Zeppelin for me (as far as favorite classic rock band). I think Gilmour is more talented than Waters yes, but a close call indeed.
