No. Allen is King. Hillage is, of course, borderline genius, and I LOVE his work.

That local band "Pyramid Dream" were in the crowd, took a shine to me, and gave me some odd-looking "vitamin pills" may, or may not, have coloured my appreciation. Joking aside, Allen is something special when performing live.

Ah - from the Banana Moon Observatory.

Too hard to choose one for each. So, in no particular order...

Goth: Simon Hinkler / Marty Wilson Piper / Tim Bricheno / Mark Gemini Thwaite
Rock: Jimmy Page / Dave Murray / Dave Gilmore / Tony Iommi
Blues: Jeff Beck / Peter Green / Eric Clapton

Django Reinhardt, I think. Amazing stuff, but a bit samey after a while.

I will change my mind again in 14 minutes.

If you like Django, then check out John Jorgenson - there are a few clips on youtube.
