If you liked Stevie you would like Johnny Lang he is absolutely amazing. I am a dead fan though I liked Jerry but honestly far from being the best or one of the greats. The Dead as a whole was one of the greats though. Gilmore went where noone else did and never degenerated. frank Zappa I liked but wouldn't put him in the one of the greats catagory either. Its all a matter of persepective I think and you can ask 10 guys and get 10 different lists. I feel its what they did as a whole that makes them great and I'm not limiting that statement to any list but to the era..

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
