GUITAR
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Pete Townshend of The Who
3. The Edge of U3
4. Matt Bellamy of Muse
5. The collective guitarists of Radiohead -- Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Thom Yorke
Honorable mention: Keith Richards, for his creative tunings and, of course, drunken pirate swagger
BASS
1. John Entwistle (sp?) of the Who
2. Rick Buckler of The Jam
3. Flea of RHCP
4. Sting
5. Geddy Lee of Rush
DRUMS
1. TIE Keith Moon and Larry Mullen -- their styles are both so different, each is worthy of the title of best drummer.
2. Zak Starkey
3. Ringo Starr
4. Dominic Howard of Muse
5. TIE Steve and Alan White
Honorable mention: Charlie Watts -- even at 67 he still gets an astounding sound out of his kit live.
Drums are very much a family instrument, as evidenced by the Starkeys and the Whites!

I must say...Bono is as much the reason I picked up a guitar as Edge! He just looks very good with a guitar, he holds it very naturally. After my first guitar lesson I realized I could play all of his guitar parts

I just watched Amazing Journey so I'm an expert on the Who jk
As a whole, they were clearly a remarkable band. As far as individual talent, they were maybe even more gifted. I'd put Roger up there as one of the greatest vocalists ever. Townshend was more than a guitarist, he was a musician, composer, innovator...Entwistle was, hands down, the greatest bassist of all time. And we all know about Mooney.
If you haven't seen it I'd definitely recommend it. Its a little expensive at $30 but worth every penny.
