As anyone reading this tread can see, its all about subjectivity. All the names deserve recognition for jobs well done, but blues, like every other genre, is about the song. Guitarists who fit in with the song being played are the ones we gravitate to. Technical proficiency can be admired, but to me, it will always be secondary to the song. After all , it seems most of the posters like blues and I offer the suggestion that its because there are so many great musicians practicing their craft in this genre.
