I'm putting this poll here because I didn't have the option to do so under the guest area.
So, who's style and sound appeals to you most?

That's so hard. I put Paco...because I had to....although sometimes Manolo hits the spot, and sometimes Tomatito can't be beat.

Hmmmm, perhaps I should have left PdL out of this one? Personally, his is not the style and sound that I'm after. There are three from that list that I look to most, Parrilla, Moraíto, and Habichuela.

I chose all of them. PdL is so obvious a choise for me. But. Pepe and moraito got something in their sound that i don´t find in Pdl.And Tomatito got something and ...

I like them all. Since all of them has their personal sound i can´t pick one.

Polls like this drive me nuts, because I can't pick just one out of all these guitarists. Each one I like in a certain way and some even for specific palos. For example, I don't think anyone plays the free-style palos (Malaguenas, Grananainas, etc) as beautifuly and melodicaly as Manalo Sanlucar. And nobody, not even PdL, can top his tremolo. I love Moraito when he's accompanying, but I'm not impressed at all by his solo stuff. And on and on. The only one of the above that doesn't appeal to me very much is Pepe Habichuela. I like the playing of his older brother, Juan, much more. I like Parilla de Jerez, but I HATE it when he plays that continuos rasgeado that seemingly goes on forever. He does it a lot in Bulerias.

But to answer the question I have to say Paco de Lucia overall.
