    Jon Lord

    Died a few days ago, but I didn't want to omit him.
    Deep Purple might have been the most self-indulgent band ever, but the version with Ian Gillan flat out rocked and had a tremendous influence on the hard rock genre that came later.

    Aye. And Lord was tops in both self-indulgence and chops. With all that came later, I still think "Hush" showcases him best.

    The live version of "Space Truckin" on Made In Japan is also one of his more masterful works.
    He was also in an early version of Whitesnake, before it became all about David Coverdale's hairdo. They put out some very good, very blues-influenced albums with Lord on keyboards and Micky Moody and Bernie Marsden on guitar.
