That subject is too broad to just have one. There are different types of music and thus there could be a favorite for each type.

Mine are:
Jazz - Harry Connick Jr.
R&B - Al Green
Rock - Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora & The Beatles
Pop - Eric Claption
Gospel - Blind Boys of Alabama
Country - Brad Paisley
Rock & Roll - Elvis
Motown - Smokey Robinson
Do Wop - Platters

Dude, I completely forgot about including Hawaiian. Brudder Iz may be my favorite, although I like Mana'o Company a lot. "Drop Baby Drop" is killer.

I saw Beck at the House of Blues in Vegas a few years ago - he ha d KILLER female voalist who damn near stole teh show - reminiscent of Janis Joplin - we got the last 2 seats, and were center stag about 20 feet away. "Because We Ended As Lovers" is a killer tune. If you like that, also check out "Riviera Paradise" - Stevie Ray Vaugh, "A Song For George" and "Ah Via Mucicom" - Eric Johnson - he is technically brilliant on guitar.

I agree with other comments - can't pick a favorite - even a favorite guitarist. Clapton, Stevie Ray, Keb 'Mo, Eric Johnson, Gary Moore, early Jimmy Page, Robert Cray, Albert King, Johnny Winter, etc, etc etc - and we haven't even left Rock yet (except maybe Keb 'Mo)
