+1 for Marc Ribot. I love his work with Tom Waits. Harrison is great too, gotta love those hummable guitar solos.
I was lucky enough to see David Byrne (ex-Talking Heads) on his tour last year, and I was really impressed with his playing, and how close he came to sounding like the records. Dude can funk it up.
There's plenty of great guitarists from the 80's punk scene (Bob Mould from Husker Du, Curt Kirkwood from Meat Puppets, D. Boon from Minutemen, J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr, Greg Ginn from Black Flag, and so on and so on) that never really got the respect they deserved. I've seen Curt and J live, and they blew me away.
