^^You'd lump Zakk with those two? I'm by no means a huge fan of Zakk but he seems quite inoffensive. To me his leads are melodic, catchy and unashamedly betray his influences. They're rarely surprising or innovative but they get the job done... Hammet/King on the other hand, blargh.

While I'm at it, Jeff Hanneman is a pretty decent lead guitarist as well. I love the leads he plays in "Mandatory Suicide" and "Seasons In The Abyss" and his other leads are usually several shades less pointless than those of King.
