I don't think anyone has mentioned the great John Lees yet.

If Steve Morse was in Spock's Beard, they'd be well-known outside the prog community. Big smile

Trettioriga Kriget is a band I don't see often here. I have three LPs and think their first (1974) is the hottest.
Another seldom mentioned favorite is Danilo Rustici (Nova, Osanna, Uno).
And Christian Leroux from Transit Express deserves a nod.

I think Roine is a great guitar player, and I think he is vastly underrated

Stolt is really talented. One of the things I like is that he doesn't fall in to the "Hackett" mold or the "Howe" mold, which many prog guitarists get crunched into-unfairly I think. Stolt can sound like either one of them or completely different, which makes him so much fun to listen to.

Roine Stolt doesn't get nearly enough credit.

I started getting into the blues after hearing John Mayall with Eric Clapton. I discovered other guitarists like Kim Simmons, Stan Webb and Tony (T.S.) McPhee.
I liked McPhee's traditional blues style, especially on acoustic which was similar to Jeremy Spencer of "The Original Fleetwood Mac".
But, to this day I like Tony's dark period, Crosscut Saw and Black Diamond.
Of the two, I prefer 'Crosscut' and still play it often.
It's a great album to put on if you're mad at someone.

^ T.S. McPhee is certainly underrated in Prog circles. As blues guitarist he is one of the most progressive there is. Del Bromham of Stray is another.
What?
