Umm...what about the obvious: Jimi Hendrix (or is that too trite for you?). Also, Jimmy Page, Jerry Garcia, Lou Reed?
There is alwasy one classic rocker in the litter screamming, "WHAT ABOUT PAGE, WHAT ABOUT HENDRIX GARCIA, WHAT ABOUT GILMOUR, ZZTOP, CLAPTON, WHAT ABOUT THAT GUY WHO SINGS PRIDE AND JOY". They have their place and it is a very big one at that...It is also, yes, VERY obvious. The pick of Lou Reed confuses me also because he seems very limted technically...perhaps it's the noise. White Light White Heat is just too much.
