Robin Trower  (Bridge of Sighs intro is killer)
David Gilmour (Comfortably Numb solo...wow)
Eric Clapton (Where do I start?)
Neil Young (Down By the River main riff, so damn soulful)

Bonus
Leslie West (If you know what I mean...)

Thanks for giving Gilmour the credit he deserves. He's my favorite but I feel doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves. His work on Wish You Were Here and Animals is (in my opinion) the best stuff ever laid down.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

Re: Your Top 5 Guitarists of all time

1.  Stevie Ray Vaughn - Nobody can touch his sound and style.  Eric Clapton once walked out of a jam session at a club when he was scheduled to follow Stevie.

2.  Buddy Guy - one of Jimi and Stevie's mentors.

3.  Duane Allman - His work with Eric Clapton and the Allman Brothers is historic.

4.  Roy Buchanan - Just listen to "Roy's Blues" on his Livestock album.  The song pretty much describes his life.  Probably one of the most misunderstood and neglected guitarists.

5.  Bonnie Raitt - What can I say?  Her homegrown songs aren't much, but when she decides to really play the blues, there are few better on the slide.
