 | See the Light by The Jeff Healey Band
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.85 Jeff Healey - A blind white boy who plays a Strat on his lap. What some might see as a handicap, is actually the most unorthodox, unique technique ever seen, the guys incredible.

 | The Hits/The B-Sides by Prince
Buy new: $31.98 / Used from: $14.98 Prince - Hands down, THE most underrated player of all time. The man is a monster...theres nothing this guy can't do with the instrument. A complete freak with a 6 string...maybe the best around.

|
 | Double Live Gonzo! by Ted Nugent
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $8.25 Ted Nugent - The Motor City Madman somehow seems to let his 'mouth' overshadow his chops...but when you get down to it, the guy is an insane player...that TONE!!!...and his leads are furious!

|
 | Rattlesnake Rock 'N' Roll: The Best of Blackfoot by Blackfoot
Buy used from: $5.74 Rickey Medlocke - Whether tearing it up with Blackfoot, or replicating Allen Collins leads note-for-note in Skynyrd...Medlocke is southern rock's hidden gem.
|
 | Greatest Hits by Journey
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.50 Neal Schon - Santana, Journey, solo artist...the guy is so overlooked it should be a crime...plays slow and melodic with the best, and could shred circles around most shredders....dazzling axeman.

 | Still Alive and Well by Johnny Winter

|
 | Van Halen by Van Halen
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.49 EVH - WHAT? EVH UNDERRATED?...uh, yeah. Take away the tapping and this guy is still the greatest rhythm player ever and has the most unique phrasing. Many have tried to imitate, NONE have suceeded.
|
 | Texas Sugar/Strat Magik by Chris Duarte
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $2.40 Chris Duarte - This guy is inhuman. No one attacks a Strat harder...initially dubbed an SRV clone...nothing could be further from the truth...the guy damn near outmatches Stevie in every catagory.

|
 | Here I Go Again: The Whitesnake Collection by Whitesnake
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $8.39 John Sykes - By far the greatest vibrato I've ever heard..that alone gets him on the list. Listen to Whitesnake's "Is This Love"...have you ever heard a warmer Les Paul tone in your life???

 | That's What I Am by Eric Gales
Buy used from: $2.33 Eric Gales - The guy plays a baritone strat strung left handed and played right handed and mixes countless styles for a very unique sound. Its scary how good he is.
|
 | Holy Diver by Dio
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.06 Vivian Cambell - Vivian in my opinion is the 80's greatest player. He took the VH style and morphed it into his own and unlike most shredders, hes a great riff artist as well as a speed demon on lead
|
 | The New Order by Testament
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $5.75 Eric Peterson & Alex Scolnick - Peterson is the rhythm player James Hetfield wishes to be and Skolnick was thrash metals greatest lead player...the meanest twin assault in metal...EVER!

 | Best Of (Chapter One 1997-2004) by Sevendust
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $5.00 John Connelly & Clint Lowery - While neither is technically dazzling, these guys were the only players in nu-metal that actually had a unique sound. Melodic and textural, and heavy as s**t.
|
 | Bridge of Sighs by Robin Trower
Buy used from: $5.54 Robin Trower - Hendrix clone? Nah, but his psychedelic phrasing and tone stood out from the pack. Also a great blues player......with a twist.

 | For Those About to Rock We Salute You by AC/DC
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $5.19 Malcolm Young - Of course youre gonna be overlooked when your little brother is Angus Young...but Malcolm is the backbone in ACDC's piledriving groove. No one holds the rhythm tighter.
|
 | Toys in the Attic by Aerosmith

 | The Essential Red Collection by Sammy Hagar
