Hmmmm. I haven't heard much Megadeath but maybe I'll check them out a bit more.

Ohhh yeahhhh I mean come on man Schenker is a legend! But oh boy his latest performance........did you hear it? HE BOMBED! Chapman UFO is different, and that's how I usualy classify it. Not better, or worse, just different. Though lots say Chapman sucks. I'd say listen to Chains Chains if you have that opinion.

Well Eliminator which UFO albums do you own?

I've yet to see any blues. I see a lot of bad guitarists from 80s metal.

In no order

1. Randy Rhoads (Too young to die....)
2. Jimi Hendrix (it's Jimi....not Jimmy)
3. Eric Clapton (God)
4. Robert Fripp (Crimson Guitarist)
5. Alvin Lee (I bet nobody knows who this is. They'll wiki it and lose the game)
6. Robby Krieger (from the original L.A. band "The Doors")
7. Jimmy Page (Yardbird Zepman!)
8. David Gilmour (Floyd man)
9. Neil Young (Legendary)
10. Stephen Stills (CSN!)
11. Frank Zappa (Tha man)
12. Steve Howe (Yes...of course)
13. Pete Townshend (Da Who)
14. Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, kiddies!)
15. Mick Ronson (Bowie's glam guitarist)
16. Brian May (one of a kind)
17. Andy Summers (THE POLICE!)
18. Joe Walsh (C-c-crazy guy!)
19. Ron Wood (Faces and Stones!)
20. Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford (Reminds me of the book of GENESIS!)
21. Joe Perry (Rockin')
22. Stevie Ray Vaughan (Hendrix reincarnation)
23. George Harrison (The Quiet Beatle)
24. Tony Iommi (The father of metal)
25. Keef Richards (Stones, baby, Stones)
26. Alex Lifeson (Rush 'em!)
27. Ace Frehley (Space Ace from KISS)
28. Bruce Kulick (KISS 'em)
29. Chuck Berry (one of the father's of rock)
30. Bob Dylan (has a wonderful style)

Ok, I'm done.

Being young and not being around when UFO were in their prime I stole my dad's record collection  :D but i have:

Force It
No Heavy Petting
Lights Out
Obsession (Best)
Strangers In The Night
No Place To Run

All classic LP's but the best has to be Doctor Doctor and Born To Lose.

Some of the Guitar Gods to make my list would be:

Angus Young, Jimi Hendrix, and Jeff Healey, an incredibly underrated player if I've ever known one.

I find it hard to only list a few favs. Some more much deserving Ax-men:

Dimebag, Tony Iommi, Randy Rhoads, Zakk motherfucking Wylde, Robbie Robertson, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, and I must check out this very popular Joe Satriani I hear so much about.
