List your top 5...

Vocalists:
1. Joe Bonamassa
2. Kevin Martin
3. Ed, 1992-2000. Present Day Ed would not make the Top 5.
4. Mark Knopfler
5. Eddie Vedder

Guitarists:
1. Joe Bonamassa (Black Country Communion, but he's one of the best blues guitarists today.)
2. Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits era)
3. Chad Taylor (Lakini's Juice. Period.)
4. John Petrucci (Dream Theater. "Lines in the Sand" forever cemented him in my top 5)
5. Stone Gossard (his early Pearl Jam works are amazing)

Bassists:
1. John Myung (Dream Theater)
2. Glenn Hughes (Black Country Communion, but also Deep Purple)
3. Pat

I know I'm forgetting some, and I'm going to regret this list as soon as I hit Add Reply, but screw it!

Regardless of how things have played out and continue to play out, Ed's vocals on Throwing Copper alone will always put him pretty high up, if you ask me.
