Bands dominated by a single guitarist ?

How many bands have had their sound dominated by a single guitarist in an original way, obviously Hendrix etc but how about Dr Feelgood, Wilko is a great player with style and is still going strong, he is no great singer but his guitar speaks enough !

It's a funny one, it would have to be a band where the guitarist was amazing. But someone like Jeff Buckley would be ruled out as he's got a pretty good voice too.

but then everyone I can think of has a great band around them too.... Johnny Greenwood, Nick Zinner, Graham Coxon, the fella from the smiths, John Squire...

Frank Zappa also apparently rated him very highly - imo this even surpasses Zappa's best solos - if carlsberg did guitar solos then this is it! it is probably the most 'complete' guitar solo ever laid down - you need to listen to it right through to appreciate the sheer briliance of the whole structure :)

One of my personal favourites:

Or perhaps this from Guthrie Goven (with a tasty little solo-ette from brother Seth in the middle):

This.

Also Alex Lifeson and Andy Summers - that fella from 'the Police'- brilliant rhythm work.
