Not much progginess there, but that is a fleet-fingered fivesome. I always love to see the inclusion of Larry Carlton. Of the shred bunch (Howe, McAlpine, Kotzen), I'd happily replace Kotzen with Michael Lee Firkins and maybe Howe with Michael Fath. |

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Parkening! Not prog, but a great choice nonetheless. My favorite Classical guitarist bar none.

Johnny Fein - Horeslips? Wow. That’s a blast from the past. The song king of the Faeries was a very fast enjoyable song. Great band from Ireland.

In no way are these two underrated on PA. The latter isn't even underrated by general music listeners. All three members of Rush regularly appear in Top ___ lists in publications, online comments, YouTube videos, blogs, etc.

Agreed. The only reason people tend to consider Alex underrated is due to the spotlight Geddy Lee and Neil Peart receive in their respective fields, but he still makes it onto numerous "best guitarist" lists and is considered a big influence in his own right

I'm always astonished at how little people here on PA appreciate/know the talent and skill of Pat Metheny. He's Howe, Fripp, Malmsteen, and John McLaughlin with unparalleled melodic sense and control.
Jan Akkerman, Roye Albrighton, Roy Buchanan, and Jeff Beck are all, in my opinion, grossly under-appreciated. I think that they should be in every conversation about the greatest guitar players of all-time, but they rarely are. |

and Roman Bunka. most people don't even know his name. his death about a year ago (Jun 12th 2022) went pretty much unnoticed on this site. the guitar is on fire in this track

Then I must have missed the praise for Lifeson. It's usually Peart that gets a lot of praise and Geddy performing both bass and keyboards and singing. True, Geddy is great. It seems to me some people seem to forget what a great player Alex is, he deserves more appreciation and praise IMO.
