The White Stripes were an American rock duo, formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The group consisted of drummer Meg White and songwriter Jack White. Meg and Jack White were previously married to each other, but are now divorced.
Have I been whooshed ?
Regardless of whether you've been whooshed or not, I object to the description of Meg White as a 'drummer'. She's awful!
Back on topic, one of my personal faves is a pretty obscure song by a pretty obscure band. Juvenile Offender by Little Angels. Well worth a listen!
A bit "jazzy" for some but John McLaughlin (with that bonkers Gibson double neck guitar) deserves an honourable mention too. Here's a clip from the Mahavishnu Orchestra if anyone's got an hour and 20 minutes to spare! youtube.com/watch?v=rD36-Zn2bA4

I was lucky enough to have seen them 4/5 times. Innovative i think is a good description.

Only once for me Baldy: The Newcastle City Hall in June '73. Innovative is a good word. Just looked up the gig list for that year: 158 concerts in eight different countries, incl 29 different States in multiple trips to the US. And they say footballers get worn out!
Glen Felder "Hotel California sorry folks that should be Don Felder Doh!
Love the shout on John McLaughlin sometimes a bit inaccessible for a shredder like me. Same with Al Di Meola totally brilliant but not always easy to listen to
Our Love Was by Pete Townsend off The Who Sell Out The peerless Alvin Lee on 'I'd Love to Change The World' by Ten Years After (for me, the greatest solo ever) I think George Harrison's solo on 'Something' is a beautifully judged piece of guitar playing I would also add the much under-rated and fellow Addick Glenn Tilbrook and his wonderful solo on 'Another Nail In My Heart.'
Rory Gallagher all round man: still think this is the best blues slide guitar performance anybody outside the delta has performed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2XJjg2uCs Jimi Hendrix :Machine gun Live at the Fillmore, How to reinvent the guitar sound in one song. Joe Bonamassa: Probably my favourite player today,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PGOP9J1uAg Paul Kossoff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT1F0AN9-PE Eric Clapton: Still the best band sound from a 3 piece. Only 22 minutes long..... Playing his Gibson I think. Jeff Beck: any concert Frank Zappa: This is the Roxy guitar solo, the one that they will not release the DVD of. 'You cannot do that on stage anymore'..... and most guitarists would not know how to? Jimi Page:No quarter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CRt-h4IrEQ etc etc......
