These are my selections, not copied from any poll.

With 2 weeks of probably not a lot of Fulham news and only 'stuff' about the under performing National team (without Milibrands multi-national flag)
Is the guitar solo on Dire Straits (Alchemy Live) "Sultans of Swing" the best guitar solo ever  ?

Not the greatest guitarists but my favourite solos:

John Fogerty - heard it on the grapevine
Neil Young - Down by the river

And possibly the greatest guitarist- Johnny Winter - Highway 61 revisited

While I recognize the subjectivity involved in these sorts of discussions, I believe that I'm safe in saying that Jimi Hendrix owns this award.

But that's somewhat unfair and shortens the debate drastically. So, leaving Jimi on his perch - in my mind anyway - I'll submit a few of my favorites that I've found on the internets.

Flirtin' with Disaster, Molly Hatchett


Duets:  Fedler and Walsh (Eagles) Hotel California

A great Molly Hatchett song
A similar but equally as good band:  The George Hatcher Band
I was a bit of a groupie of theirs in London in the mid-70's  !!!
George Hatcher now lives in N.Carolina

Best virtually unknown male singer
George Hatcher
Rick Jones (AND COMPOSER)  (Meal Ticket) + Fingerbobs + Play School
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fojf29v21Jw

Best virtually unknown female singers
Karen Matheson   (Capercaillie)   "A voice of pure gold"  Rod Stewart (or words to that effect)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvLIgrD_E0A

I've always thought George's solo on something was staggering if only for its brilliant simplicity



The Bronsons

Best solo (there's a moment that always sends a shiver down my spine): Jimmy Page in "Since I've Been Loving You".

Most minimal/fun: the one-note intervention on Slim Harpo's King Bee (not sure of the name of the guitarist).

Best overall guitarist: Jimi Hendrix.

Most influential guitarist: Chuck Berry, runners-up Robert Johnson and Jimi.

cmg

Duo - Duane Allman and Eric Clapton on Hendrix's 'Little Wing' Derek & the Dominoes (LAOALS)

D&theDs may also hold the 'Jim Morrison -No One Here Gets Out Alive' award.
Bobby Whitlock seems unscathed, but Clapton only just survived heroin, Carl Radle didn't, Duane Allman was tragically killed on his motor-bike not long after and Jim Gordon is still incarcerated in some California corrective facility after chopping up his mother with an axe - surprisingly the album (one of the best ever made, in my opinion) was something of a flop when it first came out.

Definitely Jimi Hendrix.

Other personal favourites-Neil Young, Richard Thompson, John McLaughlin, John Martyn, Son House.

I have a Karen Matheson solo album by the way.

...to see that the song and artist I will be cremated to not on the list is a surprise. Perhaps I think too highly of David Gilmour and Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb"..!
