okay, I scanned all the posts quickly and might have missed these guys mentioned: Adrian Belew - I'd stack Ade up against any of the electric godz (yes, even Jimi). Just how does one get a rhino out of a stratocaster? Jorma Kaukonen - in the late 60's, Jorma defined psychedelia, and he's a...

I like Peter's stuff quite a bit. I was never a huge fan of bauhaus, but I did watch "The Hunger" Sunday night and always get a kick out of seeing bauhaus in that and watching Bowie watching bauhaus. Actually, I like pretty much everything from the members of bauhaus post-bauhaus days, with...
