Love buckethead, been listen to him since 2008!
Been listening to him since 1998 when he released Colma. Man, that's a long time ago already.
I don't own any of his albums. I've only been able to satisfy my buckethead cravings with youtube videos, most of which are poor quality, but still I will say that he is my second favorite guitarist of all time, behind Kaki King. I love how a true artist like Buckethead and Kaki create an entire atmosphere of sound with one instrument, like they are painting a scene, fabricating a world and story with sound. Major appreciation!
Example, and my favorite:
It bothers me that he is so often compared to Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen, John5 and Slash when he is in an entirely different class, and nothing like them in any way. He is a true artist, simply more than a guitarist.
EDIT: same class as Hendrix now that I think of it.

Colma is my favorite album by him hands down.
