Hmm, Ryan Adams is probably the most famous of all of those. If you get the chance though, try and catch some of those bands, they've all been ridiculously influential in their own way.
Anything Sonny Landreth if you guys haven't heard him, he's one of my top 4 guitarists. THE slide master 8)
Well, I've had some requests, but I'm going to play anyway.
Roy Buchanon, " The Atlantic Years" Roy at his best!
Chet Atkins and Les Paul, "Chester and Lester" Need I say more?
Duane Allman, "Anthology Vols I + II" Duane Allman's studio work with the likes of Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding and of course ABB, really shows how versatile he really was!

I'll second this one. I will say that Volume I is much better, though. If you like Duane, you have to get these if you can find them. You probably won't hear a lot of the songs anywhere else. I think Duane's solo on Boz Scagg's "Loan Me a Dime" is his best ever, including anything he did with ABB. IMO, of course.
I agree with StormyMonday About Vol I, but "Happily Married Man" Is pretty cool, IMHO that track alone is worth the aggravation of tracking it down! I lost my copy of it and I can't find another anywhere. Does anybody know where I can find one?

By pure chance I saw both albums in an FYE store some time ago and snatched them both up when I saw them. I haven't actually seen them anywhere else since then, but you can buy them on amazon.com, and I'm sure other online music stores.
metallica rubbish :? :? wow - to all his own i guess.
I'll give a vote to Master of Puppets aswell as Justice and Ride the lightning.
Alter bridge is up there aswell, mark tremonti is a bloody good player IMO.
I think that nirvana will always get over-rated because of Kurt cobains death and people tend to reminisce a bit.
Honestly I have conflicting thoughts when it comes to topics such as these.
I mean I listed metallica cause I like the band, honestly I don't care if Hetfield can play satrianis' “potato head groove thing†or something super fast cause after about 5 min it gets old and boring – to me at least.
Even though I think Nirvana are overrated I'd rather listen to them than the latest G3 DVD.
Sorry I know you said no discussion but it just kinda flowed dude :D

four pages in and no ones mentioned Zappa, you people should be ashamed of yourselves. I'd go with "Hot Rats" but any would be good.(Ok maybe not "We're only in it for the money" just didn't get that album.)
Also Willie Nelson has a distinct sound that I like although I don't know many of his albums so don't know which would be the best.

Zappa . .. hmmm
Boy . . I can see an argument for most of these guys, but Zappa ...
Here's the thing, he's a brilliant musician and composer.
But unless you've already got a grasp on things like playing 5-tuples in 16/7 time signatures it's going to be damn near impossible to LEARN from his music.
That said "Shut Up And Play Your Guitar" is one of the greatest albums of all time. But I don't see it as being essential
