Depends what aspect you're talking about. A frontman who plays guitar and advances the instrument to a level unparalleled before? Probably not. To advance it higher today would take an astronomical amount of skill as well as an "outside the box" thought pattern. If thats the case I would say Buckethead is the man. But he doesn't sing.
Its really really tough to say. I mean, there isn't another pete townshend around today and I think he blows. Its hard to have "another" of anyone because usually they are so similar and are mocked to death and berated for such plagerism.
I think Jack White will be huge, and I love that people can't get past his voice, because it fends off the bandwagon riders who would says hes great to be cool and ruin the band.
