Ian Crichton for me. I saw Saga last summer when they did an hour set at a local free festival. I was with my friend and we couldn't believe how well this guy played. He's a really intricate and melodic player, usually playing fast unison lines/solos with the keyboard player. The whole band was just great - unique keyboardist, great drummer, cathartic vocalist. Underrated guitarist.

here is two really tallented and different 70s/80s guitarist who is vastly overlooked but also are vastly innovative on theri instruments, in their time, and whos sound is distinct and ahead of their time Ian Crichton have a guitar sound close to the modern prog metal sound already back in 78, and Summers are close in style and aprach to the atmopherical guitarplayers in tech/extreme, incorporate elements which are used in Atheist, Death, Animals as Leaders, i can draw paralells from Every Breath You Take and the guitarsound on some Cynic clean guitar tracks, by listening to how Summers plays,,,
