Having computer issues today I will post my list sometime today.
Excellent list there WM!
A zillion points for knowing Gavin Harrison. Missed Porcupine Tree when they toured but started gathering their CD's a few years ago (yes some of us still use CD's
)Wasn't familiar with Warlord's music, so I have to check out Zonder. Any suggested CD's?
BTW: we're stumbling to over 20 posts in this thread and we still haven't done best electric violinist
Cool, another Porcupine Tree fan! Great band!Excellent list there WM!

I more familiar with Zonder's work with Fates Warning. " Pleasant Shade of a Gray", Parallels, Perfect Symmetry, No Exit, X....
Electric Violinist----that's easy-Mark Wood(TSO)
Fates Warning:
Forgot about Wood. Saw him open for Vai a bunch of years ago. Did a knockout version of UK's Caesar's Palace Blues. Did major justice to Jobson's playing. Of course he's talented, he's from Long Island !
UK was a band full of guys on our best list. Wetton-Holdsworth-Bruford-Jobson at first and Wetton-Jobson-Bozzio as a trio. Only had two studio albums.
Will check out Fates Warning. The problem with metal is that there were so many great bands that it is hard to know it all.

nice, Mr. Rhoads joins the party with his Jacksons and a custom Flying Vee
You still have drummers, bassists and electric violinists to list though
I'm no expert, but I like David Gilmour, I can listen to his ethereal riffs all night.
Have to add in Andres Segovia to the list. Classical musicians are important too and he was incredibly good, and as George Harrison once said a good part of the reason guitar became popular.
On the electric side, no love for Mark Knopfler? Chet Atkins was pretty innovative in country styles as well. Mark and Chets album neck to neck is pretty great.

I saw les claypool at the gathering of the vibes years ago doing a folk acoustic set. Blew my mind.

Steve Stevens (Billy Idol's Guitarist)
Another worthy of the list. I thought his best work was on the two albums he made with Bozzio Levins Stevens. The albums were Black Light Syndrome and Situation Dangerous. Good stuff !
Not much for vocals but I think that you have to add Peter Gabriel to the list.
Then put that list aside and write down three names for a very special list ... Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday and Aretha Franklin .
I was going to say that he missed Janis, but you nailed it with the big three Fud. Those three have no comparisons in today's music.
Vocals can be an acquired taste, having said that, I never cared for JJ....or Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen(who I really can't stand) and others....but I like Tom Petty.
well you still have to put all three on the best lyricist lists (I guess sooner or later we'll get to best tuba players
Also add Peter Sinfield, Keith Reid, John Lennon, Paul Simon and Richard Palmer-James plus I'm sure a hundred more (would Leonard Cohen count?)
I wonder what Janis would have done if she lived but they were getting her off the blues and making her more commercially viable, so it might have been one of those things like Genesis where only the early stuff is worthwhile.
However that's like saying what Namath would have done if he never hurt his knee at Alabama. Really need someone to make string theory practical to we can access the alternate universes t see
Since we are going there I want to find the universe with the group that has a rhythm section of Jaco and bonzo, Hendrix and Rhodes as the guitarists and Janis up front on the mic. (And for my own personal satisfaction, Jerry Bear helpin out with the rhythms on vocals and guitar.)I wonder what Janis would have done if she lived but they were getting her off the blues and making her more commercially viable, so it might have been one of those things like Genesis where only the early stuff is worthwhile.

Not sure my brain could handle so much awesome on one stage.
