Petrucci got my vote. Next would be Gilmour, but as has been mentioned, Pink Floyd's sound was collective not just the work of one man.

I was ready to vote Alex Lifeson, then I saw Buckethead on the list. Buckethead has the perfect blend of material, some that is purely guitar wankery, and other stuff that is so soulful that you can't help but be transfixed by what he is playing. Then he has those songs that mix the two perfectly, to create absolute masterpieces (Nottingham Lace is a great example of what I mean here)

the reason it keeps coming up is because when someone votes on it even if they aren't any replies, it will be refreshed in your subscribed threads


I voted for Alex from Rush even though when I'm listening to Rush I'm paying more attention to the Bassist, Geddy Lee.

I keep thinking they were rude replies which the mods removed.
