what's appealing is that during the eighties he was one of the few guitarists to avoid the whole 'lead gutarist - lead solo' wankery. He carved out an original style and completely original sound. Listen to "New years day" or "Gloria" and you'll notice there's not one other guitarist who sounds like him.
