Trower and Schenker are definitely on the Spodefly Top 20 list. I attribute a considerable amount of my hearing loss and tinitus to incredibly loud repeat listenings to UFO’s Live album ...
If you haven’t already, search YouTube for Trower playing live recently. He is as amazing as ever.
Also, if you mention those 2, you also have to be aware of Frank Marino.
D’oh! Right, What about Trower? He was, to be fair, a copier of the Hendrix style. I guess that knocks him down a bit.
As well as Bill Nelson. He’s fantastic. Manages so many styles.
