this is quite hard....
1.Eric Clapton- has a robust, impassioned voice. brilliant blues writer, talks about everyday life which people can relate to. one of the greatest guitar players ever. nobody can move this fingers across the strings quicker than clapton
2.Lou Reed- his songwriting was completely original in his days with the velvet underground. his voice really creates an oppressive and uneasy mood. and he was very competent on the guitar.
3.a toss up between gilmore, hendrix or jack white. both gilmore and hendrix for obvious reasons and white because not all the greats have to in the past. we do have some talent around today and whites guitar playing and voice in my opinion are both great. his songwriting has really progressed since they first started.
