×Tony Iommi
Black Sabbath - Can genuinely be counted as as an original pioneers of Heavy metal - and he did all of that with only 2 fingers (his middle 2 digits sliced off at 17). Sabbath.
×Johnny Greenwood
Radiohead - Slipping seamlessly through the ages of the most consistently excellent british band in history, his work as a seminal composer is only outshone by his truly unique approach to the guitar as an instrument - much like...
×Tom Morello
RATM - Truly the greatest of modern guitarist in circumventing not only the norm in song writing but in the use of the instrument itself. Some might argue he just makes weird noises. I dont talk to such people.
×Steve Albini
Shellac - a big mouthed producer of legindary status, his work as a unique guitarist often goes overlooked. from his midriff guitar strap, to his completely home made custom build guitar amp and thus sound - he has shaped a generation.
×Mark Knopfler
dire straits - Sultans of Swing.
end of.
×Kevin Shields
My Bloody Valentine - notable for the sound of My Bloody Valentine and responsible for without doubt the thickest most intensively abrasive wall of noise guitar sound you will ever witness.
×David Gilmour
Pink Floyd - straying into wank-ier territory as he went, Gilmour's legacy through Pink Floyd as a sonically versatile prog rock guitarist has made stoners across the globe weep in joy to Dark side of the Moon.
×Ian MacKaye
Fugazi, Minor Threat, a giant in the DC punk scene, creating straight edge punk, developer of the DIY punk ethic and former of Dischord records - in the hay day of Fugazi, MacKaye would ask fans to bring battered guitars to gigs so he could jam scredrivers in them, slice them with saws, plunge them through amplifiers. A sonic visionary.
×Thurston Moore
Sonic Youth - American indie rock pioneer, trend setter and visionary of Sonic Youth.
