Tom Verlaine is obvs gonna win this one, but I prefer Mr. Cooder by a long shot. While I haven't heard everything in his discography, I do know I've heard enough to be impressed by the amount of styles he's been able to do well on if not master. He's done albums that incorporate anything from blues to
Hindustani Classical Music to African music which is a feat that not every guitarist has done and I think for that it'd be unfortunate if he lost this round.

As an addition, I'll post a few albums and songs (or performances) that Mr. Cooder has done or played on:

Songs/performances:


Link


Vigilante Man (live)


Link


Do Re Mi (live)


Link


Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - Longing


Link


Ali Farka Toure and Ry Cooder - Soukora

Albums:



A Meeting by the river



Talking Timbuktu



Buena Vista social club



Paradise and Lunch



Chicken Skin Music

And many more. I think that extensive discography certainly deserves the win.

Slightly torn between the two cause I hate to see Tom go, but it has to be Ry Cooder.

Patti Smith summed it up best...

"Tom Verlaine plays guitar like 1000 bluebirds screaming"...
