Rush was decent, but not a big fan. I will say they are all excellent musicians.

20. Chris Squire

Phil Lynott is an inspired choice.

My Lead Guitar list is much different because of a different taste in music although I see some that I could put on
my list from Wylie’s list so I will add 3 to the end.

Most of my favorite rock music is or finds its roots in the pioneers and British Invasion.

Carpenter was a very good live drummer. She had no touch in the studio, unfortunately.

Her true calling was singing, anyway.
