I started the new year in the other extreme:
Angela Gheorghiu "Homage to Maria Callas" CD
Joan Sutherland "The Art of the Prima Donna" CDs
Leontyne Price "The Blue Album" CD
Playing back-to-back-to-back for the second time as I write this.
FYI, When I read your post I started going "Cash Rules Everything Around Me" (C.R.E.A.M)... now back to listening to some more arias. ;-)
You need to come out more! Let me know when you and the wife have a free evening.

Been listening to this for a while. I think I want to see her live now. This album's better than the last, for me.

Love him, one of my favorites...I was lucky to see him, must have been in '85 or '86.
Best ever? You mean your 'sentimental favorite.'

Nope, I mean best ever. My opinion, of course, but as a famous coach once said - "I don't know if he's in a class by himself, but it sure don't take long to call roll."
Regarding SRV, I'd go "best ever" as far as blues guitar.

I'm right there with you on Stevie Ray. Check out Henry Garza of Los Lonely Boys. Obviously influenced by SRV and Santana.
'Best ever' is tough to call for me. I love Stevie. With the tabs, I could never get the 1st four measures of Empty Arms to sound anything resembling his intro. He never went far passed three chords, however, so I can only compare him to other great blues guitarist: Clapton, Beck, Steve Morse, Doc Watson (ok, bluegrass), Robert Johnson and all the delta and chicago guys.
I saw Leo Kottke play in person...and I was amazed all of those sounds could come out of one guitar. As a guitar player, it was very humbling. The guitarist for his opening act, Tuck and Patty, was also incredible.
For me, for electric guitar players, the conversation stops and ends with Hendrix...the guy changed the way an electric guitar is played and set the standards that are still relevant.
Best ever....I can't say. I've heard too many jazz or flamenco virtuoso guitarists I can't even name (except Paco). Maybe Andres Segovia...to play finger-style classical, IMHO, makes practically all other genre seem like childs play.
