Graham Coxon, Elliot Easton or Andy Summers

[Dennis K]

In the spirit of my earlier thread (Davie Davies, John Squire or David Gilmour) I present another thread about three guitarists and their respective bands for you to discuss. Like them? Dislike their bands? Don't know who they are?

Elliot Easton all the way; that guy is great. (Check out the solo on "You're All I've Got Tonight" and you'll see what I mean.)

I like all three, and I'm not sure who I actually like more. Hm, that'd be tough to decide.

Elliot Easton is probably my favorite of that batch - the Cars are among my favorite "fun" bands - but Andy Summers was probably the more technically skilled and almost certainly the most influential and innovative of the three.

[Dennis K]

Is it true that The Cars only went on two tours? If so, why such a reluctance to hit the road (pun intended)? Were they that bad a live act?

We need one of these threads with Steve Cropper in it.

I would completely say Graham Coxon as Blur USED to be about my favorite band (I really tried to, but didn't like their last 2 albums, Parklife may be my all time favorite album). Also his solo album kinda sucked.

This is a really hard one, because unlike the last one, neither of these guys were the driving force behind their bands.

i'll be the first to pick Andy Summers. and by a longshot really. especially considering he was with Soft Machine as well as the Police, and had a decent solo career. I also like his collaborations with Robert Fripp. I'm not really fond of Blur or the Cars, so this was a pretty easy choice for me.
