   After jammin for a couple of hours to various songs….I think Malcolm Young is my personal favorite. Always there, steady and drivin’ from the back seat!

   I chose Malcom Young from the choices presented here. I wanted to pick Andy Summers, but then I might have picked Mark Knopfler because Andy is about as much a rhythm player as Mark is. I think Steve Marriott was a Great rhythm player.

   Between the choices presented here it’s a tie between Malcolm and Izzy. But what about Kurt Cobain or Steve Jones?

   It’s just too hard to chose the best one from that selection. I think Malcolm should be appreciated more. He’s in the shadow of his brother.

   Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, no one else can rhythm so ridiculously complex stuff and sing at the same time
