When I saw the title for this post, I thought to myself that unless Tommy Bolin (correct spelling) :) is included, he's missed the mark. Bravo!!! I was very lucky to have my older brother turn me on to Tommy when I was very young, and to this day his music and his playing always bring a smile to my face - and Teaser is always one of my "desert island" albums of choice. He was a special talent that we lost way too early - and I can only imagine how great he could have been had he not left us so early in his life - and no doubt, had he gained more public acclaim, he would be featured in artist studies here as his style was unique and absolutely wonderful. Tommy Bolin is a "must listen" for anyone wanting to improve their chops and learn to play with melody and feel. Thanks for including him.
