Becker's pretty intelligent, but Malmsteen, as a composer, is just awful. MacAlpine, though, has an absolutely incredible style.

oh Jolly and his recital wars...we had a Don Mclean one a few weeks ago..."did you write the book of love?" hehe...seems someone has encouraged mr McJollyson to start with the Romeo and Juliet war...I suggest a swift change to Othello : keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.


now my five:
1) Mark Knopfler
2) David Gilmour
3) Randy Rhoads
4) Alexi Laiho
5) John 5 or Johnny Hiland

those are just my favs at the moment...and in no particular order, but you'll find that Knopfler, Gilmour and Randy are always on my top 5 list.
