David Gilmour - I am adding an 11th.
Nexion - Don't want to take the hijacking of this thread any further. Sorry. I wasn't trying to rag on you. It is just election time again and I get so frustrated with campaign speech because nobody talks about real solutions. They just say empty tag lines that appeal to voters. So I saw what you said and even knowing that you knew the improbabilities of not grading, I still had to respond.
It's not easy being green.... good thing I'm purple.

Well, it's been a longgggg time since I've logged into this forum and I thought I would update my favorites:

3. Johnny Greenwood- his stuff is so ethereal, I love it
4. Guy Picciotto- Fugazi rules!
5. Josh Homme
Bass Guitar

2. Justin Chancellor- insanely creative
3. Colin Greenwood
