Bark at the Moon was Jake E Lee. Awesome guitarist, but no Randy Rhodes.
 
Don't apologize to the swamp lizard. He didn't give his answer, just attacked yours. Fucking swamp lizards are like that. They don't have an answer, but they are quick to challenge others.
well, i had forgotten that randy
only did the two albums with ozzy -
so i stand corrected -


plus, he's got that purty sandy blonde hair -
 
My final selection came down to a choice between Gilmour and Knopfler.
Everyone's list is shit without Dimebag...

Excellent choice with Tremonti. Saw him live with Alter Bridge. Dude can definitely shred.
Tremonti is a beast no doubt! Not sure I'd be willing to put him in my top 5 but certainly understand why he might be in other's.

These threads are usually pretty funny but everyone's too damned nice on this site. 🤣 There is never a right or wrong answer, just list what your ears tell you to like. ;)

It's a personal choice top 5. I love seeing these. Hell, I put Billie Joe Armstrong in my top 5 and nobody gave me any shit about it.
