Any list without John Paul Jones is pointless.

Haha you know I was very close but if I added him it was basically just Zeppelin !! Haha . I will say JPJ may be one of the most underrated musicians of all time . His basslines on Ramble on and What is and what should never be are just ridiculous. Hard not to add Jimmy P too but if I did my LZ prejudice would show .

First time I ever saw Lemmy was when I caught Motorhead playing Ace of Spades on the Young Ones. It was like a religious experience.

Ol' Ronny James Dio ain't bad either. If that's him up there toasting Lemmy.

I love Ronnies solo stuff but I think his best work was with Rainbow . Those records were so good . To bad no can stand Ritchie Blackmore for more than 2 records!! I love Ritchie btw

Totally agree with Mark Knopfler on guitar. He doesn't get the credit he deserves. Anyone who disagrees has never listened to "Down to the Waterline". JMO

I can fully appreciate your whole list except for Steve Perry. Don’t get me wrong, he was great. My male vocalist would be Alan Jackson or Lionel Richie. Stevie Nicks would absolutely be my female vocalists followed by Rihanna.

I think you're referring to the drummer of Def Leppard, Rick Allen.

Ok I see you mentioned Jordan Rudess . Here’s my question ?? Do you actually enjoy LISTENING to Dream Theatre ??! As a musician I’m completely dumbfounded by what they can do and it’s completely utterly mind blowing but would I actually listen to Dream Theatre on a road trip or around the house ?? Probably not . I watch live videos and I’m literally stunned watching them pull off some of the stuff they do but it’s just not my thing . I love guys like Rush , The Police , Early Genesis who did some insanely complex stuff but to me it was still very musical . Sometime Dream Theatre just gets a little over the top for me . What do you think ??
 
Don’t know how I could pick every member but slash and Clapton and Freddie Mercury would defiantly be involved.

This is how I feel about Joe Satriani. I'm amazed what he can do with his instrument, and can watch him on concert videos for extended times, but can I actually sit down and listen to his guitar fret gymnastics, well no, not for an extended period of time
