How can you forget putting Peter Green on your list!?
Green was, and remains, the guitarist’s guitarist.
Some may be as good. None were better. Don’t hold the shortness of his career against him. When he was leading Fleetwood Mac they outsold the Beatles and Rolling Stones COMBINED.
You sure about that? He left in 1970 and Fleetwood Mac's albums were not big sellers outside of the UK in that time.
You are right, Peter Green was maybe best player that very few can name sort of like Randy California of Spirit. Beck was in class by himself but those two never got the recognition they deserved.
Green just didn't have the impact that the others did. He's largely regarded only for his small body of work with John Mayall and Fleetwood Mac before LSD-induced psychosis sidelined his career. And while he continued to perform and release new music up until his death in 2020, his legacy would always be that small handful of recorded work he did in the late 1960s.
