Favourite musicians

[Anonymous]

Well, I thought this might be an interesting thread, seeing which musicians people like most. For clarification, I'm sticking to rock and metal here, as anything else will just be confusing.
I'm loosely ranking these musicians here, aware of the fact that I'm leaving out a whole bunch of people I really dig.

Vocalists
Freddie Mercury
Bruce Dickinson
Ronnie James Dio
Ian Gillan
Joan Baez

Guitarists
Jimmy Page
David Gilmour
