You start out by saying my opinion is not correct, then go on to say this is all subjective, and we all have an opinion. Weird...

I never said I do not like his music. As a matter of fact, I have quite a few of his CD's and have gone to see him. And I really don't care what you are o.k. with - these are all just opinions and tastes. You are in no position to validate or invalidate mine.

I am in a position to state my opinion about his music. We are discussing his music, not the man. He simply does not convey it in his music.

SRV didn't have "it" either, so no wonder you compare the two. And, before you say it, I like SRV and own copies of most of what he recorded. Never did see him live though - my loss. Anyway, he was well on his way, but died way too early. My favorite recording is when he sat in with Albert King on one of Ian Anderson's (of Jethro Tull fame)
In Session television episodes. Albert King was very much the old mentor, instructing the budding young "fiddler" (as Mr. King referred to him). Albert King's music conveyed a great deal of feeling, heart, and soul. Stevie Ray Vaughn's was getting there. Joe Bonamassa has a long, long ways to go. Still good music, though, with a great deal of technical prowess.
