Two underrated guys who I haven’t seen mentioned yet are Robert Quine who was behind some of Lou Reed’s best sounds and Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze.
Fripp, May, Knopfler, Vai and Stevie Ray all rank up there with Hendrix and Prince in the top tier.

As I said above, I couldn't care less how "good" he actually was. When you can generate joy like this, that's what matters.

Another mention of Fripp. For those unaware, Fripp and his wife, Latoya Wilcox, have regularly throughout the pandemic been releasing their "Sunday Lunch" performance videos online for all to see and hear.

Some examples, including their Christmas 2022 release:

Toyah Willcox was originally a 'new wave' singer performing just as "Toyah'. I remember when she first started out in the late 70's early 80's. She had multiple hits in the U.K though she never caught on here in the States. She is also an actress, author and as they say over there 'tv presenter. I believe she may have had some health issues in the last decade or so.

She looks like she's doing pretty good these days though, doesn't she?

Another unique guitarist was Glenn Branca.

How could I forget Elmore James and some of the members of the Wrecking Crew (Tommy Tedesco and Barney Kessel), which also included Glen Campbell?

Chuck Berry and of course his greatest disciple and king of the riff Keith Richards!

I always liked Michael Hedges. I saw him at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano about a year before his death. Check out the video for Aerial Boundries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaIN13aDbCc

Take a look at this one:

https://youtu.be/QxIWDmmqZzY

One of the greatest live performances I've ever seen on video. The guitarists played as one, with perfect synergy and pure rock and roll joyousness. And did they ever know how to close a song! I wish I'd been old enough to go to a show. Best comment in the comments section, referring to the numerous crowd pans of young ladies in various states of undress was "Our grandmas were hot." Our grandmas? More like our older sisters. Sic transit gloria mundi.
That is a great clip. I had a few friends back in day who were lucky enough to see the original Skynyrd live in Gainesville Florida. (I believe it was Gainesville?) I forget who all opened for them or who also played during this festival but it was full of southern fried rock bands according to my friends. 38 Special, The Outlaws maybe?

Anyways, I'm curious if you ever heard/read about the story of Skynyrd opening for the Rolling Stones back in 76 at Knebworth?
According to the story, the crowd was rather bored, forlorn and sleepy, but that all changed when Skynyrd came on and woke them up.
All the bands had strict instructions from Mick not to go out on "The Tongue" but of course Ronnie, being the southern rebel he was, paid no attention to that during the playing of Freebird. (You can see him pushing Collins and Rossington out onto the tongue even though they are resisting because they knew the rule then he directs Gaines to come down as well)

The following acts, once Skynyrd were done their set, were afraid to follow Skynyrd because they knew it was a very tough, if not an impossible act to follow. They all let a major amount of time pass before they did decide but it didn't matter, according to the story, as no one came close to rocking the place like Lynyrd Skynyrd did, even the Rolling Stones, who played their longest set ever.
