Great pick players?

Bob Daisley (Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne, Gary Moore)
Allen Woody (ABB, Govt Mule)
Glenn Hughes (Black Country Communion, Deep Purple, Trapeeze)
Roger Glover (Deep Purple, Rainbow)

I agree with these plus Macca and Justin Chancellor.

ALmost forgot about Entwistle and Chris Squire.


I really don't think of Mike Dirnt as being "great" but each to his own I guess.
 
I can't believe none of you got maybe the greatest pick player, JOE OSBORNE!

Also, early Graham Maby, Felix Pappalardi, Bill Black, Waylon Jennings, Dee Dee Ramone, and of course.....


MMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
 
Two that play both styles, but both of their pick tones are stellar.

John Paul Jones.
Listen to: "Achilles Last Stand". "Immigrant Song", "Black Dog", "Wanton Song"...("Achilles" rocks).

Billy Gould - I like his tone the best early on, but his pick playing has always been excellent.
Listen to: "Greed", "From out of Nowhere", "Everything's Ruined", "The Real Thing"..
