Taking into consideration their tone, versatility, and perhaps most importantly, how they make you feel when hearing them play.
For me, it's Charleton, Mooney, Drake, Rugg, and Green.
No offense meant to the other greats. |

Franklin, Garrish, Hughey, Dugmore, Carr, Delorme, Nichols
Paul Franklin
Sonny Garrish
John Hughey
Dan Dugmore
Teddy Carr(With Ricochet)
Dennis Delorme(With Prairie Oyster)
Warren "Gates" Nichols(With Confederate Railroad)
Stoney Stonecipher is also on the list because he helped me get started playing the steel guitar. Bruce Bouton too, because he was the first steel guitarist I saw on TV and also Myron Smith, who in 1989, was the Carolina Opry's steel guitarist-I saw him playing steel up close at the Carolina Opry in Myrtle Beach, SC and he was playing a ZumSteel

| Man,this is tough!I choose Hughey,Charleton,Green,Overbey,and Mooney.However,there are so many greats that could have been included in my top five.I chose these because of their uniqueness and the fact that I am more familiar with their work than some of the others.A top twenty list would have suited me better,I think. |

Hard question... Actually the top 5 are probably easier to list than the top 10.
Buddy Emmons
Jimmy Day
Curly Chalker
Lloyd Green
Maurice Anderson
then, equally important to me are:
Junior Knight
Tom Brumley
John Hughey
Norm Hamlett
Ralph Mooney
Ronnie Moore
Jack Smith
The most important to me personally is Jerry Newberry... He got me started and kept me going.
But I digress and stray from the original question. |

Tough choices here. Settling on 5 is too challenging so I'm going with 6:
- Emmons
- Day
- Kleinow
- Maness
- Franklin
- Green |

5 is really tough.
as a D-10 player, I lean toward the guys who excelled on both necks:
Buddy Emmons
Curly Chalker
Buddy Charleton
Hal Rugg
Doug Jernigan
5 runners up would be:
John Hughey
Jim Murphy
Bobby Black
Sonny Garrish
Maurice Anderson
but I'd also have to include:
Ralph Mooney
Jimmy Day
Lloyd Green
Weldon Myrick
and perhaps my all-time favorite, Jimmie Crawford.
then there's:
Terry Bethel
Stu Basore
Julian Tharpe
JayDee Maness
Tom Brumley
and also:
Paul Franklin
Tommy White
Russ Hicks
Al Perkins
Sneaky Pete
so there you have it, my top 25!
shall I keep going?

Competitions are for horses, not artists. - Bela Bartok
That said  - I'd start with Scott Murray's list of 25...and at least throw in Buddy Cage and Clyde Mattocks. And Jerry Byrd, who of course, didn't need pedals. |

I think you hit the nail on the head. It's the variety of playing/players that keeps my attention. I've heard some players, that I had never hear of, play a break on a song that stayed in my head for months. You never know what combination of player, song, singer, and band, that might come along and knock your socks off.

I could not pick just 5.
I would not rule out our old forum member, RIP Mike Perlowin, He took the steel guitar into the unknown and showed everyone it could be done. |
