I had hoped this pair would be in the final as I would have voted them above all others. So, to take the wishy-washy way out, I shall call them equal and abstain! On second thoughts, after looking at the scores on the doors, Pagey needs some support!!

The Black Knight

I think this type of poll is all about what the band did for the original song rather than the band itself. So the Johnny Cash, Hendrix and probably Zeppelin cover versions basically reinvented the tracks and made them their own. So whilst it's great to be a big fan of Rush (well it is a Rush forum!!) and Van Halen, what elevates their cover versions to be anything other than candidates for a band tribute album?? In my opinion nothing.

Martin Lancelot Barre is the man for me!!

Same here! If anyone is looking for some rain we can send it by the bucket load!!!

Two legendary bands, Mott The Hoople & Bad Company!! RIP Mick.

Many Happy Returns custom55!!

I listened to this tonight but I'm not that fussed on the SynthAxe sound.

All great. I really like both guitarists but especially Holdsworth.

Following on from one of Treeduck's polls, I listened to these at the weekend

Did his mother have a fling with the local undertaker?

What a difficult one for me. My head says, Gary Moore was the more skilled musician ........ however As a young impressionable youth, I wanted to be a skinny, blonde haired , Flying V guitarist who could solo like a God. Mad Micky gets my vote.

Two guitarists I really need to spend much more time listening to. But from my limited exposure I think that Holdsworth is my favourite of the two.
