Actually this whole list is very dubious. Lou Reed MAYBE. The rest? Ummm no.
What do you mean no Stevie Ray Vaughan? The guy reignited blues for a new generation. He was also a fantastic guitar player.
He also used really heavy gauge strings on a Strat, .12 or .13 I’ve been told. You usually use those on a longer scale guitar with lower tuning so they’re not impossible to bend.
