ONe of the best guitarists I know of was Neil Young...but ol' Jimmy H played a mean electric one. I LOVED his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner!!! Of course, that was a few years ago...teh best??? I always loved BTO for some hard drivin'...

Led Zepplin, CCR, and The Who were amoung my favorite of the overplayed rock.<br />Obscure bands like "Uriah Heap", "Robyn Trower", "Seatrain", "Commander cody and the 52's", "WAR" , "Spirit" ,"Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul" got played on my pittiful picnic spinner until the medium wore-out.
