I was pretty sure todd was going to say Peter Laughner though

That would be in keeping with my current favorites, wouldn't it?\
And, Laughner was amazing.

Any one else have Elliott Easton's solo album? I wore that cassette out as a youngster.

I'd respond but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't read it.

Elliot Easton is a good pick. I've got his solo album from the '80s and it's surprisingly good. Better than the Ocasek solo stuff I've heard.

I'd submit someone to this list but it'd be someone sort of awful like paul gilbert...

I'm not a big AC/DC fan...but Malcolm Young's tone is rock rhythm guitar at his best.

Angus can suck it.

I think the guy probably gets plenty of critical applauding, but Marillion's Steve Rothery's guitar work is enough to make a grown man weep. WEEP!

Warner Hodges ( Jason And The Scorchers )

If I was to pick one guy from the last 20 years that sez "Rock 'n' Roll" to me, most likely he'd be the pick.

New Jason & The Scorchers track on this comp.

Thanks for that link. There's quite a few MP3s on the next page.
