For arguments sake, we'll define modern as the 20th century on up.

Narrow the range. I don't wanna have to go Ella Fitzgerald or Gene Krupa or Jimmi Hendrix.

No way redd. This thread isn't the 5 best bands. It's the 5 favorite.

I just loved RATT because they never cowtowed and played a ballad. Warren Demartini was a genius on the gutair. Mixolydian mode. Incredible.

Most talented. No. Best No. Favorite Yes.

Even though RATT didn't make it through the years for me personally, I have to agree that DiMartini was certainly one of my favorite players "in the day," one of the most fluid around during the '80's hair-band craze. In fact, the first concert I went to without my parents was Poison (yuck) opening for RATT. I still like several tracks from their initial EP along with others from their first two full-length albums. Dancing Undercover was where they began going south for me.

There are many bands and artists I like very much, but if I had to narrow it down my five are (usually!):

Eric Clapton
John Frusciante
Freddie King
Albert King
Stone Temple Pilots

Bad Company
