I'll take Mick Taylor thank you (even Ronnie Wood).

I think he is way UNDERrated in that regard.
And yeah, Mick Taylor was a brilliant player when he was in the Stones.
But Keith is like The Edge, George Harrison, or Pete Townsend...
When you hear a song that any of those guys are playing on, you know INSTANTLY who it is.
Forging a distinct voice on the guitar is a lot harder than learning "sweep" technique, or hammer-ons, or playing as fast as you can.
To create something completely unique that is your own voice...well, that is the very definition of an artist.
