29. David Gilmour
David Gilmour didn’t start as Pink Floyd’s guitarist; that distinction belonged to Syd Barrett. However, despite not being the founding member, Gilmour eventually emerged as one of the band’s key figures. His passion for effects and intricate sound engineering played a pivotal role in shaping the distinctive sound of albums such as Dark Side of the Moon. We owe him our gratitude for masterpieces like “Comfortably Numb” and “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.”
28. Slash
During the early ’90s, Guns N’ Roses reigned as the world’s top band. The band’s triumph stemmed from Axle Rose’s powerful vocals and captivating stage presence, as well as Saul Hudson’s legendary guitar solos as Slash. Slash’s iconic solos in “November Rain” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine” are timeless treasures. Despite Slash and Rose’s past feud, they have thankfully reunited to perform and record together once more.
