Remember: There is no 'Best', except Pete.
 
 Uncharacteristically pour le moi, I'll go first:
 
 John Goodsall (no one's ever heard of him, but me)
 
 Kralle Krawinkel (Krautrocker)
 
 Mikko Lankinen (surf nut)
 
 Denny Dias (if you don't know who it is, shame on you)
 
 Joe Jack Talcum

Not necessarily my top 5, just a few of my faves, in no particular order:
 Johnny Ramone
 Greg Ginn
 Jay Mascis (you're living all over me is a guitar manifesto)
 Mick Ronson
 Steve Jones (purely on the merit of his work on Never Mind the.....)
