Karoli out of Can was excellent as part of a third-mind symbiotic thing but as he's done nothing outside of the band it's hard to tell if he is/was/could be great in a different context.
Keith Levene is a bad ass. Levene, Andy Gill and John McGreogh (Magazine, Banshees) are responsible for a huge swathe of interesting guitar music (in the UK in particular) this side of punk.
Robin Guthrie doesn't seem to get as much dues as he should.
Kawabata Makoto's solo work is vastly underrated - he jams out the kicks with AMT but does incredibly patient, beautiful work under his own name, he's a lot more nuanced than he seems to be perceived to be.
Hendrix is apart from the rest of the blues rock guys because of the jazz, funk and free elements to his playing, and had is set apart from the jazz and free guys by his melodic sensibility.
Tony McPhee is the best blues-based player to come out of the UK, everyone should listen to the Groundhogs.
The older I get, the more I prefer Lee to Thurston.
Carrie Brownstein is one of the best riff writers of her generation.
