+1 on RG. It also made me appreciate rusted screws on guitars.

ok there were definately some more i could have put:

these are less people who make me want strats and more people who make me realise not all strats have to sound like the white man blues.

I always wanted to avoid the Strat as it epitomises a lot things i dislike in music, but, inevitably i got one as its such a great guitar.

Without going onto the Superstrats..
Jimi Hendrix
Dave Murray (Iron Maiden)
Richie Blackmore
Yngwie Malmsteen
Dave Gilmour
Jeff Beck

More recently..
Nick Zinner (YYY's)

He's a guy I liked way better when he played a Les Paul and even a Tele. So I didn't put him eventhough he is masterful with a Strat vibrato.

I also didn't put Clapton for that reason because I like him way better with a Les Paul or an SG.

Aren't we forgetting someone?

I associate him with Telecasters more than Stratocasters Tell you the truth.
