I just feel like drawing a line, adding BB would mean having to add Buddy Guy and Albert King and all the other big electric blues guitarists, and then people will say "you might as well throw in all the fusion guys too".
This is just my opinion, I'll add a few more names to it and then I want to start my little blog project.

Like I said in an earlier post, nice list. When I first read it, I was a bit surprised that BB King and Buddy Guy weren't on the list, but I read your above explanation and accepted it. THEN, I heard BB King and Buddy Guy together on the Grammy's (with John Mayer and Keith Urban), and was blown away by Buddy Guy especially. So, I'm making a pitch for Guy to not only be on the list, but to be in the top 10! If you consider Stevie Ray Vaughan as blues rock, then Guy HAS to be, too. Just take a listen to tracks from his latest album--there are 3 songs on this site, and especially "Best Damned Fool" rocks.
BUDDY GUY :: SKIN DEEP :: ZOMBA MUSIC GROUP
If that isn't blues rock, then I'm...well...heterosexual.
I'm willng to draw the line with BB King as strictly blues, but Buddy Guy is a maniac on the guitar, and it ain't just the blues....
