Elnut good list, with addition of Rush adds even further. I love the Texas Blues, Delta Blues music especially love the guitar playing. I youtube G3 all the time to listen to Satriani, Vai and whoever the third is at the time - if you haven't listened to them check it out. I mean who can turn it up when you hear songs like Godzilla, Radar Love, Black Betty and one of my favorite from Brownsville Station was Lady "She put the light on me" I could go on and on but love the post.... definately refreshing from the norm
