I would've thought his omission from my list would imply that I didn't believe he should be on it, however if you wish me to point out the obvious to you in future I shall

No I got it, it's just that you spelled died or dead wrong, and you pointed the obvious stating that he was dead.

I have never come across a fundamentalist arse-licking fan of either group in my day.

Lmfao. Move to Washington, D.C.

composed that in about 20 seconds there, no doubt I've missed out PLENTY.

I love these choices especially Chan Marshall. Besides, she's the only girl on your list.

Awful good as the assumption game aren't you? Electronica isn't ****e pal, and it's not all I like.

Electronica is also easily one of the most stylistically diverse genres out there. So dismissing all of it with a wave of the hand seems pretty silly to me.

Top 5 best guitar sound (tone-wise):

1) Billy Corgan on Siamese Dream (the reason I own a Big Muff)
2) Robert Smith on Disintegration (well...a lot of other stuff too but Disintegration is just great and got me into the whole reverb/delay clean sound)
3) David Byrne on early Talking Heads work (I love the idea he had behind it...all the guitarists at the time wanted their sound to be huge and beefy so he wanted the exact opposite and strove for a tiny thin sounding tone)
4) Duane Allman during the Fillmore East shows (the most perfect blues guitar tone I have ever heard)
5) Richard Millang on Bethany Curve's You Brought Us Here (the ultimate use of a delay pedal)

Honorable mentions: Tom Morello of any of Rage's work (didn't make it because I got kind of tired of him after a while). Robin Guthrie from Cocteau Twins (didn't make it because he goes all over the place with his guitar tone). Kevin Shields on Loveless (amazing tone but he didn't make it on the list just because...well I like the other guys better...plus no one should have to spend that much money to find the sound they want).
