PLAYERS
MARK KNOPFLER Emerging in a late-’70s scene dominated by music very unlike what he was making, the utterly fluid fingerpicked guitar lines first relayed to the masses via “Sultans of Swing” set Dire Straits far from the field. His amazing technique earned him not only adoration, but work with a mass of musical heavyweights ranging from Steely Dan to Van Morrison to Bob Dylan.
PETER GREEN Arguably the greatest torchbearer to emerge among British blues guitarists in the ’60s, he unblinkingly followed in Clapton’s footsteps in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, then co-founded Fleetwood Mac. His style has never been flashy, but he is cited as an influence by Clapton and Page, praised by B.B. King, and his songs have been covered by artists ranging from Judas Priest to Carlos Santana and Tom Petty.
DAVID GILMOUR With Syd Barrett’s departure, Gilmour’s musical influence helped steer The Pink Floyd away from psychedelic music
