Hearing Doctor Doctor on FM radio was what turned me on to UFO. When I bought the LP and played it the first time I discovered Rock Bottom. The only early Schenker I have is Lonesome Crow but I have a few MSG CDs and a later one (2004) called Schenker / Pattison Summit. They do a few covers like Shapes Of Things, Hey Joe and A Whiter Shade Of Pale.

I know exactly what you mean. I barely play at all myself, but sure can appreciate those that do. The studio version on Phenomenon is brilliant and was surely always written for impro anyway. Dunno if you've checked out the UFO BBC In Concert/Session CD but it's vintage early MS. Starts with a crunching Oh My and carries on a rockin'

I want to clarify my list of top ten guitarists. I know that names like Tommy Bolin, Rory Gallagher and Ulrich Roth may not be quite as well known as the others on the list. But influencial is the key word here. From the mid 60s through the mid 70s these ten guitarists were the main influences on my playing style. I would listen to any one of these guys and say, "I will never be as good as they are, but I can be better than I am now". So, their influence was of a motivational nature.

From this trio, I will pick Page since he's the only one that's on my top ten list of guitarists.
Favorite / Influencial
1a - Jeff Beck
1b - Gary Moore
2 - Jimi Hendrix
3 - Rory Gallagher
4 - Eric Clapton
5 - Peter Green
6 - Ulrich Roth
7 - Michael Schenker
8 - Tommy Bolin
9 - Jimmy Page

Ritchie Blackmore easy. Don't really listen to Led Zeppelin, and I like Deep Purple and Rainbow a lot more than I do Black Sabbath.

Page for me. I've seen all three at some point in my life. I saw Blackmore and Iommi at CalJam. Blackmore was better then. Saw Page on Zep's "Houses" tour, Page blew them away.

Tommy Bolin....ermm, he's not here, then....
Blackmore had a great balance on delivering great solos and riffs
Page had better solos IMO
Iommi had better riffs
Too tough, this time I'll go for Iommi.

I'd go for Iommi riff-wise myself. Page's breaks are generally better tho IMO. The three of them really are too close for me to call  |

hmm, either page or blackmore
iommi's riffs are good but his solos have nothing on the other two
blackmore is probably better than page but he did do a lot of crap after he left deep purple

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I flatly refuse to choose between three of my all-time faves. Great list though and at least Steve Howe won't get a look-in this time
