Wanted to see other opinions.

As an example of my choice for #1, here is a crushing frickin' solo.
Duane's solo for the 9-19-71 rendition of Blue Sky

My personal favorite is Doug Martsch (Built to Spill). After that, not really sure.

My 5 favorite guitarists to listen to, in no particular order, are:
Roy Buchanan
Ritchie Blackmore
Nils Lofgren
Rory Gallagher
Jimmy Page
Each has a distinctive style and sound. They all have better than average technical skills. And their live performances are, or were, riveting experiences.

You mentioned him, and I can still think of at least 10 right off hand that I'd put in front of him. Read the title again: "Your top 5 guitarists."
It's all opinion.

Frank Marino and Tommy Bolin deserve a mention as does Joe Walsh. Albert Collins was no slacker, either. Let's not forget Mick Taylor (of the Rolling Stones) and Alvin Lee.
