A great guitarist not mentioned so far:
Bill Nelson:  Formerly of BeBop Deluxe, a rock(?) band that got lots of good
	      reviews, but never really caught on.  He's very fast (when
	      he wants to be) and fluid, a very lyrical rock sound.
	      Sunburst Finish is probably the best BeBop Deluxe record as
	      far as his guitar playing.  (The album title refers to the
	      red/yellow guitar stain, of course, and as a visual pun,
	      the guitar on the album cover has burst into flame.)
	      It includes a lot of great songs, including Fair Exchange, the
	      only BBD song I've heard on the radio more than once.
	      Drastic Plastic is another good album, but with much less
	      guitar.  Nelson is now doing solo work, but don't buy his
	      solo albums expecting to hear his incredible guitar--they're
	      almost entirely keyboards.  Sigh.
