Somebody recommended Spirro Chrisafis (sp?) to me once, and he wasn't bad listening. Plus he had a song called Mithrandir, which pushed my geek buttons.

I can't believe no one here has Carl Perkins in their list!
Shame on you.

Any forumite that answers "who?", should be immediately banished, n'er to return.

Nice taste, last 3 guys

YES!!! His guitar playing is only matched by his vocals. Gary Moore learned everything he knows from Greeny, as well as inheriting his Les Paul (the one with the reverse wired neck pup) - "The Supernatural" circa 1967? (from "A Hard Road" by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers) contains probably the first ultra long sustained note that wound up in Moore's lickabulary . Too bad he went skitzo in the 70s.
