Both of them are irreplaceable to the music world. CLRR was in a class all to himself. I never understood the RR v/s EVH competition; each brought their own thing to the table. RR was disciplined, classically trained, and presented a modal approach to his riffs & soloing. EVH, on the other hand, was just plain raw; couldn't tell you a major scale from a minor scale. Both brought the energy and fire in their own unique ways and both were innovators. To me, both are deserving of The Jimi Hendrix Award for Badassery.
