 Healey, Jeff
He soon developed an unusual style, similar to that employed by Fred McKenna, placing the instrument across his lap and fretting the strings 'overhand,' with four fingers and his thumb.
Despite Healey's extraordinary, if unorthodox virtuosity - Hideaway (from See the Light) was nominated in 1988 for a (US) Grammy award as best rock instrumental performance - he has had his greatest mainstream success with relatively convention pop ballads (eg, 'Angel Eyes,' 'I Think I Love You Too Much') sung in a youthfully husky voice.
In 1989 See the Light received Holland's Edison award for best foreign rock recording and Healey himself won a Juno Award as entertainer of the year.

As a teenager in the 1950s, Santana became fascinated by the rhythm and blues and the rock and roll sounds he heard on the radio.
Santana's roots-based fusion of Latin and African sounds was ill-suited to the acid rock scene, but the group's frenetic performances captivated hippie audiences across the Bay Area.
In 1987, the group took part in "Rock and Roll Summit," the first joint U.S. and Soviet rock concert in history, and, seven years later, the band made a triumphant return to the Woodstock II anniversary concert in New York.

 stevemorse.com: The Dregs - Industry Standard Bio
For three consecutive years, The Dregs have been nominated for a Grammy Award for best rock instrumental performance.
The album is predominantly made up of the kind of eclectic (rock-jazz-country-classical), driving instrumentals that The Dregs are justifiably famous for, but also features the first vocal performances ever heard on a Dregs LP.
At a time when progressive music was becoming more and more insular, The Dregs added the energy of rock to the instrumental virtuosity of jazz and, as International Musician wrote, provided their audience with a sense of participation.

As an album that caps a rock career spanning more than three decades, SUPERNATURAL is a testament to the stylistic breadth of Carlos' musical world, to his dynamic communicative abilities, and to the fact that rolling stones truly gather no moss.
...easily the best place to hear this pleasantly inconsequential noise would be at a barbecue on a hot summer night, especially if you didn't want to disturb the neighbors.

 Jeff Beck @ Soundbug
The electric guitarist Jeff Beck (born June 24, 1944) is an British rock musician who played in a number of influential bands in the 1960s.
Like many rock musicians in the early 1960s, he began his career working as a session guitarist.
Beck was one of the first electric guitarists in the 1960s to experiment with electronic distortion (most notably in the Yardbirds 1966 album, Roger the Engineer), redefining the sound and role of the electric guitar in rock music and anticipating what Jimi Hendrix shortly thereafter took further.

Emerging sometime in the '80s, Oklahoma boys The Flaming Lips have held steady to a peripheral, but significant location in the indie-rock world, visionaries blessed with a hyper-keen pop sensibility.
In 1999, four years removed from the surprise alterna-pop hit "She Don't Use Jelly," the trio fronted by the fetching, impelling whisper of Wayne Coyne hit a remarkably high note, making scores of year-end 'best of' lists with THE SOFT BULLETIN, a mellifluous, masterful slice of Brian Wilson-level pop distorted through a few looking glasses.
Following an acclaimed album is always a craggy cliff of anticipation, but if BULLETIN was the Flaming Lips' PET SOUNDS, then the ethereal YOSHIMI BATTLES THE PINK ROBOTS may be their SMILEY SMILE, a record which skillfully straddles the line between pop and experimentation.
