Well, the question was not who do we think the 'best" is, it was who is our favorite. for me, those are not neccesarily one and the same. It is hard to argue that Neil is the absolute best of the best, but I actually prefer to listen to guys like aldridge, Grohl, and Rockenfield. Neil is like a study in perfection. some of the other dudes are more of a study of animal power and energy, not that Neil doesnt have those, but When I think of Neil, I think more of polish and finess than I do good old rock power and energy like I do with some of the others. so, Yes I think Neil is the best, but still he is not my favorite. I imagine it is similar for others as well?
