More often than not Mick Ronson's talent is either overlooked or under appreciated. I really like Mick Ronson's guitar playing on this album so I am voting 10 for him too.
I seriously hate having to bring my old age into any discussion. I really do.
Ziggy Stardust - 1972.
A Les Paul is such a beast of a guitar. It's uncomfortable, heavy, and maybe the least ergonomic guitar ever designed.
But that ****ing glorious ****ing tone.
Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Duane Allman, Jimmy Page, etc. etc. etc.
On Ziggy, Ronson carved a whole new Les Paul role. Dial down the gain a little, cut back on the reverb and delay, and don't dig in so hard. And Scott captured it so perfectly.
