#72. David Gilmour.
Everyone is a fanboy of something. I don't care who you are and what you listen to. I worship at the altar of Gilmour. I can even now appreciate his faults. His last solo album, whilst still enjoyable; was'nt exactly groundbreaking. He is 'frightfully middle class' and vocally he is good but not superb. However his guitar work still absolutely blows me away. It's not particularly technical or innovative but it just touches me deep inside. Yes it's a rotten old cliché but it's true.
His sound is everything that I want from a guitar and on everything he does he manages to sound anything less than engaging. It's an emotional thing for sure but is'nt that what music is?
