Michael Schenker vs Uli Jon Roth vs Matthias Jabs vs Yngwie Malmsteen vs John Norum?

Michael Schenker for me too.

His soloing in the 70s kind of represented everything good about great Hard Rock they way the built to a crescendo cranking up the speed yet staying emotive and avoiding overkill.

I saw Uli Jon Roth live with the Scorpions and some of their 70s albums with him are massively underrated and are amongst my favourites from that era and so I never gave Jabs a fair go in the same way I never gave Tonka Chapman a fair go in UFO.

John Norum? I've heard The Final Countdown and that is it and Yngwie is unlistenable.

Early Yngwie is good.

So is early Ritchie Blackmore, and I prefer the real thing.

I saw the '78 tour when they opened for B.O.C.

I remember thinking:

If BOC didn't have (Don't Fear)The Reaper and Godzilla, UFO would have blown them away.
