Actually, I'm in the same boat. But Les Paul better be in this list. That guy is the single most important person in the history of music, bar none. He's literally more important than Mozart as far as I'm concerned, because he's singlehandedly responsible for the modern recording studio.
Anything ever recorded with more than one microphone and more than one take layered over the others, is a direct result of Les Paul. Without him, we'd still be recording music with absolutely ZERO option but to have the whole band in one cramped room, with the final sound determined by that, no option to mix, master, overdub, or do alternate takes.
And thats without getting into the fact he's the father of the electric guitar. (His "Log" prototypes were significantly earlier than Leo Fender's earliest prototypes. 1940, in fact, whereas fender released the first telecaster/broadcaster in 1951)
