Bump. If my count is right, VanLandry is #23. I’m thinking about doing a poll (after this feud is over) to see which, if any, of the excluded answers in this feud would be predicted as conch answers in their respective categories. The format of the poll would be to select as many answers as apply - Chuck Berry = conch for 50s guitar player influential to Rock - Jimi Hendrix = conch for 60s guitar player influential to Rock - Jimmy Page = conch for 70s guitar player influential to Rock …etc. ---
