For me, it's Bob Seger. I hate myself for how much I love Hollywood Nights. Also, I feel like Seger was probably just another one of those barely talented white boys who made it big because he literally stole a ton of stuff (melodies, basslines, hell even lyrics) from truly talented Jazz, R&B, and Blues musicians...but maybe I'm wrong. Just a gut feeling
I like the old thing about Like a Hurricane, where it's said Neil does the 2nd best guitar solo in rock history, sings a bit, and then does the best guitar solo in history. Its hyperbole, but still.
