Alex Lifeson has always been my #1 influence on the guitar though. I can pretty much say it was those dudes that got me excited about buying an electric guitar... and for me, that's kinda where it all started. |

Pankow I saw this band as a warmup band way back when. Thought they stole the show. The headliner? Jimi Hendrix.
Back to the question. Lotta great bands mentioned that at one time or another I was heavily in to(Yes, Three Dog Night, Pink Floyd, Toto, Dregs, Stray Cats). Others like Kansas, Leroux, ZZ Top and Journey also made an impression. But to pick one alltime fave, well, uh, I guess the name says it all. Beatles.

Since I have gone through full circle in my life starting with early rock-n-roll/blues, rock, then rock turned metal & I hated that direction so I turned country for a decade, got tired of that went classic rock when that came back on strong but got burned out on that fairly quickly & went back to blues.
If I could only pick one, it just may be
John Mayall, at over 70 years old still going & over 50 albums. Assembling more people in bands & recordings than anyone I know. The original Blues Breakers from Clapton to people like Peter Green (From the original Fleetwood Mac when they were a blues band & the girls came in & they turned to crap, yes my opinion)
Yeah he dosen't play guitar but has played with the finest in the business.
