Steve has recordings of many great saxophonists (such as/like) ____________ Ben Webster and Lee Konitz.
Steve wants to be a great jazz saxophonist (such as/like) __________ Ben Webster and Lee Konitz.
I know most of you have seen the talk about usage of "as" vs. "like" several hundred times and probably know it cold...
But somehow I am still having trouble making a quick decision on as vs. like. Any help or links would be helpful...
I have posted a question too and any help with explanations would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

neelesh just try to remember this you use Such as whenever you are citing an example so you say Steve has recordings of many great saxophonists such as (like is used when you are making a comparison or simply comparing two nouns)
in the second sentence Steve wants to be a great jazz saxophonist like (you use like because you are comparing Steve to Ben Webster and Lee konitz. You are not citing an example here so such as will be misplaced in this sentence.
I hope this helps
