Wishbone Ash achieved success in the early and mid-1970s and were one of the first of many hard rock acts to feature twin lead guitars made famous by guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner.
According to Wikipedia, Powell and Turner were voted Two Of The Ten Most Important Guitarists In Rock History (Traffic magazine 1989), and part of the Top 20 Guitarists Of All Time (Rolling Stone magazine). Melody Maker (1972) described Ted Turner and Andy Powell as "the most interesting two guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced THE YARDBIRDS."
