I think this is a hard question but I am going to go with James Morrison, his album is flawless! If your into these guys then check out Paolo Nutini! His album is excellent! xx

Van Halen...David Lee Roth was one heck of a performer.\nWhitesnake...David Coverdale was fantastic and John Sykes was a great guitarist.\nIron Maiden\nRatt\nBon Jovi\nMotley Crue\nRush\nOzzy...definately in the 80's (Randy Rhoades was one of the best guitarists and paved the way for metal by combining classical with heavy metal.)

I hate to burst your rock bubble, but the greatest guitarist of all time is probably sat in front of his house playing away without a care in the world, not really giving a flying V who thinks he is the best or the worst for that matter. But if you want the greatest Rock Guitarist/Performer of all time most would say it has to be Jimi Hendrix...

Just a guess, but I'd say Eric Clapton - for the Yardbirds, Cream, and either Blind Faith or as a solo artist.

Can't pick one.  I think Kurt was a lyrical genius!

Yes, plus a great song writer as well. He wrote most of The Who's hit songs. Most of their songs, period.

Most good rock songs make me happy, it'd be impossible for me to name just 1. If I listen to the entire album of Tommy by The Who, I might get a little weepy towards the end.

I love Jack Johnson.  The only band whose lyrics can compare is probably Muse.  They both have interesting insights into human nature.  Gotta love it.  And if you don't know Muse, you should check them out.

Classic rock was the best, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Cream, Hendrix etc. It will never be topped.  Bob Dylan was not rock I think he was Folk.  There is no "modern rock,"  years ago those musicians had to know what they were doing, they were originators and a lot of them were self-taught sometimes (during concerts) making it up as they went along.  Todays generation should go buy some Zepplin. Pink Floyd, Cream, Black Sabbath, The Who, Grateful Dead etc. put it on (turn it up!!) sit back and listen to what they're saying, enjoy.
