By lookin' at the list now, I've come to the (at this time) conclusion of where these artists currently stand on the list.

I will write the "top" artists and then the "bottom" artists here:

Top:
1.Stevie Ray Vaughan.
2.Eric Clapton.
3.Jimi Hendrix.

Bottom:
4.Albert King.
5.B.B. King.
6.Taj Mahal.

This is where the list is at right now, but it can change if "new" people poll in!!!So far, the list/standings look pretty good to me, cheers!!!:beer:

Personally, I'd put Stevie Ray Vaughan last, but that's just me. I've never really listened to Albert King, I'll have to check him out. One of these days...

Twas very tough....i love hendrix so much but BB and Albert King are also amazing....sorry i had to go BB King though

Ya gotta check him out!!!His music is actually pretty different from B.B.'s, but they are both great blues artists that are very significant to the style!!!

I would say that Albert King has more of a "party animal", electric, roots sound/style than B.B.

If you want to hear one of the most unique sounding blues legends, then you'll have to hear Albert King...highly recommended!!!;)

what a turnaround. It had to be BB for me....

I voted for Hendrix, on the basis that he could improvise some interesting stuff for having never learned any theory.

Jimi Hendrix because his music is still unique and aggressive. He has inspired many this days musicians and I like what he did with his guitar.
