Just 80s hair guys? I guess for me that'd Reb Beach on the first Winger, Huff on the Giant album.
But early 80s Uli Roth in Beyond The Astral Skies

Eddie, of course. It became "stock" because everyone copied him, but the quantum leap that was VH1 compared to what was around at the time cannot be overstated.
Eddie Murphy.Who's Eddie?
While I don't disagree on Holdsworth and Poland, I'm calling bullshit on your sweeping statement.None of the people mentioned are unique enough to even named except Alan Holdworth or Chris Poland.
Ed is not 80's though. He debuted in '78.Eddie, of course. It became "stock" because everyone copied him, but the quantum leap that was VH1 compared to what was around at the time cannot be overstated.

Now, little doubt his influence was massive as most every player "borrowed" something from him but still alot of unique players like Sykes and Campbell that came from the G Moore tree.
That's what I love about those early 80's players like Lynch and DeMartini, there's a few things here or there from Ed but not outright mimicry as some would do. I mean I actually prefer Vito to Ed but let's be real - Vito took from Ed heavily and made it his own thing but no Ed, no Vito.
I was always a fan of Mark Kendall from Great White.
