Cosmo Electrolux No, they're from the US. Alternative type band from the 80's. Sugar was late 80's, early 90's.

Are Husker du Norwegian or Danish or something? Cause if they are, it's pretty weird I haven't heard about them before.

Helm Yeah I have all the Kyuss cds besides the first, and I enjoy them a lot although usually stoner's not my thing.

Cosmo Electrolux The only Kyuss CD I can find is "Welcome to Sky Valley".....have you heard it Helm?

Oh, yeah...Sugar's "Copper Blue" is awesome...THANKS BUFFALO TOM!!!!!!

Cosmo Electrolux Actually, I like the guy from the Queens of the Stone Age too...Josh Homme....guy writes some seriously catchy hooks. I think he has really good tone as well.

EDIT: Oh, yeah...Bob Mould is a pretty good guitarist and an amazing songwriter. I'd have to put him in my top ten.....

re

I'm putting more of a premium on distinct sound rather than technical ability here. I think of guitar gods more as idiot savants than songwriters.

Kevin Shields
J Mascis

I can't speak for everyone else here, but my choices aren't strictly based on technical proficiency. Akerfeldt may not be Yngwie, but what he plays is airtight, and I love his songwriting.

Saraceno is a technical whiz who chooses to play accessible, moving, meaningful music, without resorting to jerking off, which is something an awful lot of so-called "shredders" can't do.

Same thing with Setzer. Say what you will about rockabilly and swing, but that guy's chops are fuckin' terrifyingly good.

For those of you not familiar with Mike Keneally, you should check him out. He played with Zappa years back, so if you're a Zappa fan, you'll like this guy. He's also a freakish talent.
