Amazing guitar player but his music never really got me. I prefer the more subtle, yet seemingly more creative licks of David Gilmour. Slap me if I"m wrong.

Yes, he was. I actually saw him perform live once. If you think his recorded stuff rocked you should have seen him live! Amazing is very accurate.

Don't get me wrong Jimi is the man.... but Vaughan is aligned perfectly with my personal taste.

I guess if that's your thing . I'm more of a blues kinda guy . Sadly, I only like blueses (sp?) by Jimi Hendrix or BB King.

He still is to me.

Hendrix was ok in the day, VERY innovative and creative, but was actually a sloppy guitarist. No where near the talent of many other great musicians. He relied more on electrical enhancement showmanship, and trickery than on his own "gitar-pickin" to make his music rock. Don't get me wrong, he did make some wonderful music, but his technique was just sloppy when compared to some of the better musicians out there...

But that begs an interesting question, which is more important? If you have great technical skill or make great music? I mean, guys like Van Morrison, Joe Cocker, Springsteen, etc never really had those "ideal" singing voices, but made amazing music.

Well, I can agree with you to a point, as technical skill is NOT all there is to music, but some musicians have both great technical skill, AND the ability to make great music. IMO, SRV was one of them. Possibly the best blues guitarist ever recorded. There have been good artists on both sides of the "argument", but the ones who have both become GREATS.

I prefer just playing regular guitar =P

I've generally liked his music. As a college radio DJ, my focus is to find music I want to play on the air and I've played him on many occasions. He had a very good feeling for power blues and gave it his all. I love some of his tracks. I haven't listened to most of them.
