Surely it's Mr Johnny Marr? But there's something to be said for Jonny Greenwood, for Graham Coxon, even Bernard Summer... so who's the best? Ever?

hahahahaha. really? no. I do like the stooges, but quite honestly he is not a "talented" guitarist, like robert fripp.

They're all good but my nod goes to John McGeogh of Magazine/Banshees who probably influenced all of the above (Marr, Coxon, Greenwood) with his highly original and technically superb dramatic post-punk licks.

David Gedge is without question the best british "indie" swordsmith but of all time its Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. He is truly peerless.

I'm showing my age now but Charlie Whitney from Family was pretty awesome, especially when combined with Chappo's raw vocals. The pair weren't so good as Streetwalkers but hey, every dog has its day!

Mr. Paul James Ansell says:
It's impossible to pick just one!
Old school - Johnny Marr, Bob Mould, Tom Verlaine, J Mascis, Thurston Moore, Andy Gill - all valid choices. For punk you only really need Johnny Thunders... - BTW - whoever criticised Ron Asheton earlier obviously never heard the FUNHOUSE album. There may not be guitar solos all over it but that album has influenced many of the other names mentioned here and is still being ripped off by many bands today. A few names I'm surprised have not yet been mentioned - James Dean Bradfield (Manics), Poison Ivy (The Cramps - proof that girls can be just as good!), Kristin Hersh (as previous), John Perry (The Only Ones), and my owne favourite... Bernard Butler (early Suede/ McAlmont & Butler).

Everyone seems to have missed Vini Reilly, and david gedge might be good with words and a tune but it was grapper that laid the guitar groundwork on those early, seminal releases. But really it's got to be between Johnny Marr, Kevin Shields, J Mascis, will sergeant, david roback, kurt ralske and vini. oh yeah and thurston moore. really there's loads, and we could all be all night, which might not be a bad thing ;)

Robin Guthrie, John McGeoch, Kevin Shields. If I had to pick just one it would be Guthrie, though. He proved that imagination and creativity are more important than technique.

J Mascis for sure! My fave certainly, but also up there is Thurston Moore & Lee Ranaldo and John Squire!
