You probably won't find an "official list" because most of it is a matter of opinion and of course I have one. This is a very short list and Not in any praticular order. Band is in parathesis: Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen), Slash(Gun's N Roses), Angus Young (AC DC), Ted Nugent (Ted Nugent), Randy Rhodes (Killed in plane crash while with Ozzy Osbourne.  Played lead guitar for album Blizzard of Oz with several hits including Crazy Train), Stevie Ray Vaughn (Blues guitarist killed in helicopter crash after concert in Wash. state), Eric Clapton (Eric Clapton), Tom Petty (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Jimmy Paige (Led Zeppelin), Keith Richards (Rolling Stones).  I'd say they'd be on anyone's top twenty list.  Hope it helps.

Hmmm, this is a very good question. If I personally had to pinpoint one group in particular that should be recognised, it would be Linkin Park. They have jumped tremendous heights in a very short period of time, influenced alot of people with their lyrics, and are just downright good musicians. I owe them alot because their overall essence is absolutely amazing. It must be a pleasure to know them. I am honored that such young men like themselves are indeed worthy of my attention. They've gotten a bad rap at times, but I say that's crap. They deserve better.

It's really a matter of opinion. That being said you'd have to consider any of the following:\n\nPeter Tosh\nBurning Spear\nBlack Uhuru\nGregory Isaacs\nSly and Robbie\nLee Scratch Perry\nMad Professor\n\nThe list could go on and on. While Bob is certainly the most well known, I wouldn't agree he is the "best". If it's your opinion that he is the best and you're looking for the best reggae artist besides Bob (which it looks like you are) then the answer to your question would be Peter Tosh since it was Peter who taught Bob how to play the guitar.
