but gotta love Keith Richards quote "Chuck had the swing. There's rock, but it's the roll that counts."

Agree 100%.

Without Jimi and Albert King there wouldn't have been SRV. That doesn't take away anything from anyone of those people, it just shows the lineage. Same with Ritchie Blackmore to Yngwie to Vai and Satriani. They are all great.

Chuck was great. I don't see how anyone can honestly think I do not think that. And I prefer Chuck to T Bone. I played "Oh Carol" at my wedding. It's a rocking tune. Ymmv.
