I never got Rory Gallagher. My guitarist liked him, but I didn’t see anything in his songs.

Fair enough. It is all subjective anyhow. From what I've read, Rory was asked to audition for the Rolling Stones, so some can conclude he was a great talent.

Also Roy Buchanan was asked by The Stones to audition. He turned them down. Saw Roy in 1973. He just stood still on stage wearing his turtle neck and spanked that plank like he knew what he was doing.
