David Gilmour

ItemImage

From Wikipedia: "David Jon Gilmour CBE (born March 6, 1946) [1] is an English musician best known as the lead guitarist, one of the primary singers, and one of the main songwriters (with Roger Waters) in the band Pink Floyd. In addition to his work with Pink Floyd, Gilmour has also worked as a record producer for a variety of famous artists."

Comfortably Numb has some of the greatest lead work I've ever heard. Slash would be proud to have played that. However, I just don't see enough of that sort of stuff from David. I know he can be great, but the overly artsy pot fest that is Pink Floyd overshadows him I think. I'll say he is great, but I don't think we can put him in the top 10 because I'm not sure what he would have done if all the songs didn't have some crazy spoken word stuff and unneccessary sound effects. David Gilmore has soul and depth, but I just haven't heard enough of it to think that he could do it as effortlesly as Slash or Kirk Hammet.
