I love the fact that you think the Smiths were before your time but feel alright posting about Eric Clapton.

1. Garry Lucas (Cap. Beefheart)
2. Snakefinger
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. Denjo Rineheart
5. Robert Fripp

Not necessarily my top 5, just a few of my faves, in no particular order:
Johnny Ramone
Greg Ginn
Jay Mascis (you're living all over me is a guitar manifesto)
Mick Ronson
Steve Jones (purely on the merit of his work on Never Mind the…..)
