Full article:

Eric Clapton : Robert Johnson is to me the most important blues musician whoever lived. He's the greatest folk-blues guitarist who ever lived. The greatest singer, the greatest writer.

Keith Richards : I used to ask who was the other guitarist? I couldn't believe it was one guy. I can figure out almost anyone's licks but his.
