I'm surprised you didn't mention Peter Frampton in your list.

Why would anyone question Rik Emmett's inclusion? He's awesome.

That being said, I kinda question the Apriil Wine guys. I'm surprised you picked them over The Stampeders.

I am well pleased to see Jeff Healey on your list. May I suggest removing Ty Tabor and adding Holdsworth? I think if you did that, why, your list would be just fine!!!
