16. Billy Gibbons
Like plenty others on this list, Gibbons is among Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” Gibbons was already a highly regarded, established player during the 1970s with ZZ Top. However, the emergence of MTV in the 1980s help the band enjoy tremendous success with records like Eliminator (1983) and Afterburner (1985). Gibbons shines on popular ‘80s’ staples “Gimme All Your Lovin,’” “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Legs” and “Sleeping Bag.”
