Pete Townsend is similar in style (Rhythm), genre, and era. And one hell of a songwriter.

Don't forget the earlier days with Brian Jones. Richards maintains that what he calls "guitar weaving" emerged from this period, from listening to Jimmy Reed albums: "We listened to the teamwork, trying to work out what was going on in those records; how you could play together with two guitars and make it sound like four or five".
I think someone like Robby Krieger or Robbie Robertson deserve to be higher than Richards.
