would have to be these guys.

alex lifeson (rush)

steve rothery (marillion)

trent reznor (nine inch nails)

i am a huge fan of textural dreamy guitar playing that both alex lifeson and steve rothery do so well (have yet to try and learn any marillion),but can attempt a few rush tunes 😉

trent reznor though is a musical genius as far as i’m concerned (and the downward spiral is my favorite album of anyone 🙂

Judah Bauer (his work with Cat Power I just love)

I’d agree on Lifeson and Bonamassa, both are such glorious guitarists.

I reckon I’d add in a singer as well – Danny Bowes. OK, so we all know Danny can’t dance, but what a voice!
