Pretty much everyone that has been mentioned. I fail at making short lists of items like this. There is too much that I like. Smile About the time I think I might, I hear someone that I didn't know was out there and I'm in trouble again. The first time I heard the Bambi Molesters I was impressed. The first time I heard Laika and the Cosmonauts I was impressed. The first time I heard Pollo Del Mar I was impressed. Where do you stop. Smile The last 10 years of listening has been fabulous and more than I ever expected to be possible. For that fact, thank you to all who have contributed. Groovy Cheers SG101!

These are my 3 guitar heroes not only for paying respect to teh surf guitar traditions but extending out into new territory.

Dave Wronski

Jim Thomas = for his sonic exploration

Ivan Pongracic

Freshwater Surfin'

The Murray Basin
Australia

STARCRUNCH!!!

Hey Chad, I was able to listen to the Mermen, live, twice. Flew from Maryland to Santa Cruz for that Psych Surf band. Great people as they adopted me for a day. (both trips) Jim's guitar work can put you in a different place. Allen Whitman/bass, Martyn Jones/ drums and Jennifer Burnes/ (2nd bass) sound like an orchestra. Full rich rock surf notes that will envelop you.

I'm generally at the more progressive end of the spectrum:
Jim Thomas
Dave Arnson +
Dave Wronski
Ivan Pongracic
and among the more trad guys, Shigeo Naka.

So many honorable mentions, I'm not even gonna try to list them all.

Dana Vincent...of Splashback.
