Roger Hodgson of Supertramp. I saw them in 79, and he was playing a sunburst Strat, and he really rocked it. I was listening to the never played on the radio tracks from Breakfast in America, and his electric guitar work impressed me and reminded me of that concert.
Roland Orzabal from Tears For Fears. He's a wonderfully tasteful guitarist.
