SRV vs. Johnny Winter

First, a brief synopsis of both artists:

Johnny Winter

Born John Dawson Winter III on February 23, 1944, Johnny Winter is widely considered one of the greatest bluesman of his age. Originating from the humblest of settings, both Johnny and his brother Edgar absorbed blues lore from such luminaries as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Roy Head. Johnny is known for his southern rock-style of blues, and released a number if qualitie albums that have achieved critical acclaim. The most lauded of his albums are, without a doubt, Johnny Winter and Second Winter, as it is these two albums that fully exemplify his driving blues style. Johnny also performed at the legendary Woodstock music festival. He is easily recognized by his albinism and trademark style of dress.

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Born October 3, 1954 in Dallas, SRV was a technical innovator and master showman. Whether performing as Double Trouble or with his brother Jimmie, he influenced a generation of guitar players with his confident style and soulful swagger. Notable albums include: In Step and Texas Flood. Basically, if you don't know about SRV then you're either a retard, a weirdo, or a combination of the two.

I like both artists but I think Johnny contributed more to overall music history...

I think this would be a good weekend for you to get out of the house a little and relax.

What more can I say? From what I can remember, his shows must have been great because I kept returning. After my ears stopped ringing I always seemed to feel warm and and fuzzy for days afterword. Either I was seeing double or many of these shows had Edgar Winter up there too. What year is it?

Who is SRV? Never heard of him. Is he anything like Buddy Guy, now that guy can play guitar. And btw who's Jimmie Ray Vaughn?

Anyway I just voted for Stevie Ray Vaughn, and I found out I am the first one to vote for him woo-hoo! Now I am going to check who this guitar player is on Youtube. I hope he's good. I hate to waste that vote.
