I'm trying to come up with a list of very good guitar players that are not bam! front page, super well-known from any genre.  List any you can think of. I'll list a few:

Prince (the guy can wail, even though he is/was known as a pop artist.  Listen to the song: Let's Go Crazy.)
Greg Allman.  One of my faves.  Just Dl'ed Allman Brothers greatest hits on my Ipod.
Victor Wooten.  Another black guitarist that can wail.
Others?

Rhoads and Frehley are very well-known, but both are very good for their genre,

One of my favorite albums that he played on was Live Art, by Bela Fleck and the fLECTONES, though he has many solo albums. My favorite song is More Luv, though it is not by any means a super- popular BF song.

Johnny Marr (The Smiths)

J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.)

I've never been as fortunate to have a album by either yet. I've only heard some songs and seen videos on Youtube as of now. But I will try to find that album. :)

Gary Moore. Only songs by him I've heard were ones he did with Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy (such as Out in the Fields and Parisien Walkways)

Jeff Beck.  Buy his album called "Blow By Blow."  It's tremendous
