Good list there.  I'm a fan of most of them.

Prince was a massive talent in almost every way.  People love him or hate him, it seems.

Here is one of my favorite moments of his:

This one made the list as the best guitar solo back in my day, when Prog ruled the world. Yes, it's a long song but this totally on the edge of being out of control solo by Jan Akkerman, starts at about 8:45.
